This winter, it seems, everyone wants to be a skier. Despite all the Covid-19 precautions at the region’s ski resorts—including mandatory face coverings and a cap on how many people can ski at one time—resorts in the Mid-Atlantic are seeing an increase not only in the number of experienced skiers but also the number of new and lapsed skiers looking to hit the slopes. Skiing is a relatively safe activity during a global pandemic. You’re outdoors and naturally distant from other skiers (it would be difficult to ski within six feet of another skier), making it a perfect activity for those experiencing higher-than-normal levels of cabin fever.
