The New South Wales Deputy Premier announced earlier today that the state’s ski resort season could commence from June 22.
Deputy Premier and Member for Monaro John Barilaro said work is underway to ensure appropriate COVIDsafe measures are in place at Thredbo, Charlotte Pass and Perisher.
“One of the highlights of the winter tourism season is a trip to our alpine regions,” said Barilaro.
“However, while many people are eager to return to the slopes, it is important that visitors can enjoy themselves safely and responsibly. The NSW Government, through NSW Health and NSW Police, is working closely with ski field operators, associated businesses, suppliers and industry associations to ensure COVIDsafe measures are in place when the season commences.
“These measures will mean that fewer people will be able to visit and stay at resorts this season, so it is essential that people book and confirm their travel arrangements and accomodation before they travel.”
Thredbo followed by releasing their opening date, June 22, and more details about how the resort will operate including reduced capacity, no season passes and social distancing on chairlifts.
