Phil Scott rolls out timeline for full reopening - VTDigger

Under the four-phase plan, unvaccinated travelers will no longer need to quarantine starting April 9, and all gathering limits will be lifted by July 4.

So much for those permanent signs that the taxpayers paid for.
Too lil too late for the ski industry, but K will probably benefit from this.

I'm very surprised. Good on VT. Labor Day 2021 was the old rumor, wasn't it?

Reading the whole article honestly they are pretty aggressive to re-opening. High capacity limits indoor/outdoor, businesses going to 100%, and masks only encouraged after the 4th of July. Honestly I think I'm due to eat some crow on this one...

Time to rip out those hundred of metal highway signs they put up 5 months ago....

I was told not to use that P word in the context to the Great Sign Debate I got myself into months ago.

I've already met a few people on the lifts getting their first days in because they were vaccinated. Even with the early spring crowds have been pretty steady from what I've seen.

Guess I will be picking up a couple K spring passes and renting a condo for NH April vacation week.

Next season's gonna be big for sure. In my opinion, it's smart of them to give themselves some time before the peak of summer, winter and leaf stuff to test the waters.

Watch those bullshit signs still be there in a year...

Good news nonetheless

This is great news! Looking forward to burning all my masks!

Snowsports enthusiasts cannot unite over much, however we can all agree that the day where we no longer have to wear wet frozen face masks that helplessly fog our goggles in liftlines is a day worth looking forward to

Never really had an issue with fogging this year. What I tended to do was take my goggles while getting in line and pull the mask up and then once on the chair take the mask off and put the goggles on. Never fogged up.

Mask off on the chair?? *gasp* You're out of compliance! Don't you know how dangerous it is to have your mask of for 6ish minutes on a moving chair that's outside!

I had with some masks. What I eventually settled on was a surgical/cloth mask, just trade between that and my goggles (like what you said) whenever I need the mask

The only place I've been to that allegedly enforces this is Bromley. Absolutely no clue why, you aren't sharing chairs to begin with. Unless you're unloading at a crowded summit, I don't particularly understand the science behind putting your mask up when you get off the lift, especially if the operator is inside the lift shack, and chances are, not wearing a mask either.

I've seen shack ops have their masks on 50-60% of the time at the start of the season....probably 20% at this point.

My mask cut my poor schnozz at Gore..the wire in the nose thing must have broken..and damn did it bleed..I had no idea until i wiped it with my dirty white gloves and they got red real fast..didn't stop bleeding for an hour..Masks=dangerouse.

Crap, I was out of compliance all winter then

If you are staying over two days, be prepared to be questioned about negative tests then.

The state is lifting restrictions who's going to ask these questions

There was no one asking questions to begin with...

 

[Zermatt]

Duh, there never was a quarantine restriction in Vermont. If you don't enforce it, it doesn't exist.

We were too! Damn! except one time when we were at a small ski area ns the liftie at the top told me to put my mask up! Basically was masked up in line and in the lodge.
