National Ski Areas Association Develops ‘Ski Well, Be Well’ Operational Best Practices For Covid

The National Ski Areas Association supports a thoughtful return to outdoor winter recreation. An advisory group of ski industry leaders developed the Ski Well, Be Well operational best practices based on scientific guidelines from experts. These practices can be adapted to each ski area's unique operation, and can be scaled according to the appropriate local COVID-19 response.

Outdoor recreation, including skiing and snowboarding, is proven to improve mental and physical health of participants.

“Research is showing that being outside in a mountain environment can boost our immune systems as well as our mental health and well-being,” says Florence Williams, author of The Nature Fix: How Being in Nature Can Make us Happier, Healthier, and More Creative.
