Lift Ticket: Resort Riding in COVID Times • Episode 5 • Walking a Tightrope

Jan 28, 2021

Welcome back to Lift Ticket: Resort Riding in Covid Times.

For this show we’ve brought in one of the industry experts - Christian Knapp - to fill us in on how the multibillion dollar resort industry is adapting to a virus that has turned the world upside down.

Christian has managed some of the biggest resorts in the world for the past 20 years including Breckenridge and Aspen Snowmass and now he is on the hunt for The Snowboard Project.

The season is underway - and with it cases of Covid and ever changing restrictions being put into place around the country. Fortunately we are still able to ride - a very bright spot on an increasingly dark year.

In this episode of Lift Ticket you can listen to there latest resort news from both Europe and North America.

We check in with Maya Samara in Switzerland about their current COVID situation.

Then we talk with Steve Wright from Jay Peak in Vermont to see how they have had to pivot their business model due to a boded closure with Canada.

We are still game on for this season even if it is shaping up to be much different than expected. We ask that all our listeners do their part now to try and slow the spread of Covid so that we can keep these resorts open. Also tag us in your posts and stories so we can see how your experience is going riding resorts this year. Our next episode will cover the perspective of the riders. Tag us with the hashtag #liftticketpodcast and shoot us a DM - we want to know how it’s going on your end!
