Welcome back to Lift Ticket: Resort Riding in Covid Times.

Christian has managed some of the biggest resorts in the world for the past 20 years including Breckenridge and Aspen Snowmass and now he is on the hunt for The Snowboard Project.

In this episode of Lift Ticket you can listen to our global roundup where we check in with France, Japan, and Canada to find out the situation with the pandemic in their countries.

How are border restrictions changing the way Canadian snow operators do business? Will Americans be able to go to Japan this year? Are French ski resorts already shut down?

We get the lowdown from the north island of Japan, the French Alps, and Banff, Alberta.

We also check in with Eric Webster, Events Director for the US Ski and Snowboard Team, about the status of competitions from olympic qualifiers, to the X-Games, and even regional comps.

We are still game on for this season even if it is shaping up to be much different than ever before. We ask that all our listeners do their part now to try and slow the spread of Covid so that we can keep these resorts open. Also tag us in your posts and stories so we can see how your experience is going riding resorts this year. Our next episode will cover the perspective of the riders. Tag us with the hashtag #liftticketpodcast and shoot us a DM - we want to know how it’s going on your end!
