20/21 Winter Covid-19 Safety Protocol

No one will be permitted on the mountain without a face covering.

All guests aged 2 and older will be required to wear face coverings in every part of our operations, which includes:

• Exiting your vehicle
• Walking around the resort
• Loading and riding the chairlifts
• When inside all buildings
• During all ski and snowboard lessons

The only time a face covering is not required, is after being seated at a restaurant outlet or while skiing or snowboarding. We will continue to monitor any additional requirements regarding face coverings at our resort and update our website as required. Our number one goal is to keep our staff, guests and community safe, and face coverings are a key component to staying safe and healthy.

• Guests will be greeted by a parking attendant who will direct you where to park.
• Guests are asked to practice physical distancing of at least 2 metres (6 feet) when parking and walking up to the resort.
• Overnight camping is allowed. 7 spaces are available, first come first serve. These spots are self-contained and at no cost. You have a max of 5 nights allowed.
• Day use RV's allowed. Must be off-site daily. No trailers are allowed at Topping Creek.
• If possible, please plan to boot up in the lot. Boot grippers are recommended to walk safely to the lodge.
