Skiing - Many resorts in Utah are open, with guidelines in place for keeping everyone safe from COVID-19.

• Face coverings are required. All 15 Utah ski areas will require face coverings that align with CDC recommendations when social distancing isn’t possible. This applies to both outdoor and indoor spaces, except when eating or drinking. 
• Practice social distancing. Lift queues, ticket queues, ski and snowboard lessons, employee spaces, and food outlets will all encourage appropriate spacing to allow social distancing between parties. 
• Ski resorts will be cleaning and disinfecting regularly. High-touch surfaces, such as bathrooms, restaurants, dining facilities, ticket offices, and rental shops will all be cleaned and disinfected following CDC guidelines. 
• Operating plans may change. To optimize safety, Utah ski areas may review and change their operating plans to comply with local regulations. 

Some Utah ski resorts have designated snowshoeing trails that are family-friendly and good for beginners. Nordic Centers are available at the following resorts:

• Cherry Peak Resort
• Sundance Mountain Resort 
• Solitude Mountain Resort
• Alta Ski Area
• Snowbasin Resort
• Park City Mountain

Snow tubing and sledding - these totally tubular places with you,” shares Utah.

• Soldier Hollow
• Woodward Park City
• Mueller Junior High School
• Rock Canyon Park
• Donut Falls Sledding Area
• Brian Head Tubing Park
• Mountain Dell Golf Course
• Rohmer Park

• Be avalanche aware. If your plans include venturing into the snowy mountains, make sure you’re aware of potential avalanche hazards. To learn more, visit the Utah Avalanche Center.
• Prevent frostbite and hypothermia. Knowing the symptoms of frostbite and hypothermia is important since many people are numb (literally) to their onset.
• Dress appropriately. Since your body loses heat faster than you can produce it in the cold weather, make sure you dress appropriately. Wear a hat, boots, gloves, and layers of loose-fitting, water-resistant clothing.
• Stay hydrated. Drinking plenty of fluids is just as important during the winter season as it is in the summertime. Since the cold air is dryer, it’s easier to become dehydrated.
• Use sunblock. Yes, even in the wintertime, you need to protect your skin. In Utah, the UV exposure risk increases due to higher elevation and poor air quality in the winter.
• Monitor weather conditions. Always check the weather forecast before heading out for your winter run, hike, or snowshoeing excursion.
• Tell someone where you’re going. Outdoor winter adventures are fun, but the risks may be higher, depending on the activity you choose. A good rule-of-thumb for safety is to always tell someone where you’re going and when you plan to return — especially if you’re heading into a remote area, such as the mountains.
