Colorado Ski Country USA (CSCUSA) member ski areas are working with local health officials to implement a range of health procedures to keep both guests and employees safe this summer. Guests visiting Colorado’s high-country will find sanitation stations, markers to remind guests to be socially distant and special signage noting updates and changes to operations. Face coverings will be required in certain locations at ski areas so guests should plan ahead.
Colorado in the summertime promises bluebird days, cool summer nights, Instagram worthy scenery and exciting activities that are sure to bring a smile. CSCUSA resorts will offer something for everyone including mountain coasters, alpine slides, scenic chairlift and gondola rides, downhill mountain biking, hiking, disc golf, dining and more.
