Nordic Valley is offering credits to guests who purchased lift tickets for the period that the resort remains closed. Season pass refunds are not being offered, although officials said that policy remains subject to review. Meanwhile, holders of the resort’s Power Pass are being encouraged to visit nearby Power Pass sister mountains Brian Head Resort, Utah, Purgatory Resort, Colo., and Arizona Snowbowl–all, like Nordic Valley, owned by Mountain Capital Partners.
Officials said that while lifts are undamaged, “we will not be running the lifts until we know we can operate safely. In the meantime, we are working on our new operating plan so we can get the lifts running as quickly as possible.”
Uphill travel also is “highly discouraged” since the fire department closed the road leading to the resort as the investigation into the lodge fire continues.
“Our first priority is to ensure our employees and guests safety,” ski area officials stated. “While our lifts have been unaffected, many other critical operations (and necessities, like bathrooms) were impacted severely. Please know that we are actively working on solutions that will allow us to reopen as quickly as we can.”"
