This week, Dr. Bonnie Henry encouraged residents to visit their local ski hills. Although there are no travel orders in effect, Henry has highly discouraged travel outside of cities and had mandated that residents stay within their home bubbles at least until Dec. 7.
“To ensure we all enjoy a long and healthy ski season, we hope everyone continues to be kind and respectful and makes sure to wear a face covering and keep an adequate distance from one another,” according to the resort’s post.
Big White Ski Resort temporarily revoked three seasons' passes last weekend after holders refused to wear masks.
