For folks thinking of skiing at Snowshoe, here are the basics about using Ikon, Snowshoe-only passes, or buying day tickets.
It's well worth reading all the
winter operations information sooner rather than later. Have to click on the "+" signs to see the details. I noticed the mention of "industry guidelines" along with state and federal guidelines. It's clear that mask mandates for kids vary by age depending on the state, assuming there is a state requirement. For WV, it's age 9. For NC, kids age 5 and up need a mask. For VA, it's mandated for ages 10 and up but encouraged for kids over age 2.

WELCOME TO THE MOUNTAIN
As we look forward to welcoming you back to the mountain, please know that we will be implementing new policies and procedures in line with state, federal and industry guidelines.
The key facets of our COVID-19 plan involve daily employee health screening requirements, maintaining physical distancing, and increased sanitation and disinfecting efforts. You will notice some changes upon your visit, including but not limited to our employees wearing masks, physical barriers at point of sale locations, an increased quantity of personal sanitization stations, and alterations to our operational procedures and programming. For more on specific areas of the resort, please explore the drop-down menu below.
We kindly ask for your help by maintaining physical distancing, following directives from our staff and staying home if you feel ill or are at risk of transmitting the COVID-19 virus. In accordance with an executive order signed by Governor Jim Justice on July 6th, all individuals age nine or above are required to wear adequate face coverings in public spaces (inside buildings, common areas, chairlift lines, etc.).
Be Safe. Be Kind. Have Fun.
