I would bet they will have to limit the capacity. How they would do that is probably not determined yet. I am sure Patrol will be there and if it was an emergency they would let you in. I think if you made it up there you can probably make your way to the bottom.
The current Vermont regs are 50% of fire marshall posted capacity, up from 25% last week. The big question will be how they regulate and enforce State quarantine rules which require anyone coming from a county with cases higher than 400/100,000 to 14 day quarantine, or 7 days with a test. Possibly using a tracing app? Guessing a large proportion of weekend skiers are normally from higher risk areas, though NY has changed significantly, Boston not so much.
Our business has been asking all visitors using the honor system and we have only turned away two groups this summer. Masks are already mandated and we require sanitizer use to enter. Even then we stay 6' apart.
Stowe and Killington, and everywhere else, are facing the same dilemma. Perhaps the areas will get together and figure out an industry-wide strategy. I'd be surprised if Rob Katz and Rusty Gregory had not discussed it with 49 ski areas between them.
