Guests can take their mask off when they\u2019re actively skiing or when they\u2019re seated, eating and drinking. \u201c<br \/>\n\u201cWe\u2019re also strongly encouraging our guests to be ready when they leave their vehicle, to minimize the amount of items they have to store in the base area, and to minimize the amount of time they need to spend inside.\u201d<br \/>\nLike other skiing locations, Gore Mountain has a 50 percent capacity limit. In the dining areras, there are grab-and-go options this year. <!--more--><br \/>\n\u201cAnother item of note this year is the ski lift,\u201d she said. \u201cWe are allowing only people who are in the same party to ride the lift together. Singles will ride the lift alone.\u201d<br \/>\nBackes said the response to the new protocols have been great.<br \/>\n\u201cOur guests have been very compliant and positive about it,\u201d she said. \u201cThey\u2019re with us, in terms of having a great season and making sure we can provide a safe and enjoyable experience.\u201d<br \/>\nSeason passes, day lift tickets, ski rentals and lessons are all available to purchase online, and guests are encouraged to secure them digitally before arriving. Touchless pickup options are available for all passes, rental and lesson purchases.<br \/>\n\u201cIf you have a specific date in mind, I\u2019d recommend logging on earlier, rather than later, to make sure you get the dates and times you want,\u201d said Backes. \u201cPeople understand we\u2019re trying to manage our numbers here. It\u2019s an easy process to get online and get what you need. We want everything to be as easy and safe for guests as possible.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cWe want to drive home that we have processes in place for the health and safety of everyone, and we are looking forward to a great season,\u201d said Backes. \u201cWe want everyone safe, happy and having fun.\u201d<br \/>\nLift tickets, rentals and lessons can be purchased online at www.goremountain.com. Hours of operation are 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily, with expanded hours expected as the season continues. Gore Mountain is located at 793 Peaceful Valley Road in North Creek.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Andrea Harwood Palmer Gore Mountain opened recently with procedures in place to satisfy health and safety guidelines during the COVID-19 pandemic. \u201cWe have several health and safety protocols in place to keep our guests and employees safe throughout the season,\u201d said Stephanie Backes, Gore Mountain marketing director. \u201cMost importantly, we have face masks or [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":196,"featured_media":33855,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.6 -
