Ski hill operators are expecting a big return to the slopes by skiers and snowboarders in this first winter without COVID-19 pandemic restrictions.
He says that during the height of the pandemic, his ski hill was at 30 per cent capacity due to restrictions and hesitancy from the public. "Last year, we saw an increase in skier visits at most resorts and this year we're expecting an increase again," Rick Rutherford, chair of the Ontario Snow Resorts Association, told CTV News.
"For the avid skiers, those skiers came," Levitski says. "What the resurgence has been is new skiers."
