Do you want to know when the ski resorts will open this 2020?
I want to go out to the snow and go skiing!
With this cold I just think of a good cup of warm hot chocolate after a good ski. What a pleasure!
In this article I write you all the news, new measures and opening dates of ski resorts, which come to us about the opening of the ski resorts for this 2020-21 season in the Covid season mainly from Spain but also information that reaches us of the openings of the ski resorts of Andorra, French and even other European countries.
New general Covid measures in ski resorts
Ski resorts considered as open space and not sports equipment in Spain
Regarding the Covid measures in the ski resorts, you have to know that we are in luck because the ski resorts are an open space, not sports equipment, so the restrictions are comparable to an outdoor space such as a mountain to go running .
Use of mask and silence in lifts
Yes, there are some conditions of use regarding the lifts that we will be required to wear a mask during the journey and be silent to avoid the spread of aerosols on the gondolas and chair lifts (let's see if I get the latter with my children 
) .
Cleaning and disinfection
Spanish ski resorts must adopt the legally established cleaning and disinfection measures and routines for each area.
Social distance between skiers
Through the protocol of covid security measures prepared by the ski resorts, they will develop operational plans to maintain the greatest possible distance between people, even with the use of a mask.
News and dates on the opening of 2020 Spanish ski resorts
The info I have at the moment is about the openings of the Catalan ski resorts. The idea is to add the news from the rest of the stations as well.
At the moment it is about openings partial in almost all cases and waiting for confirmations. It is recommended to check the stations' website to find out the status of the tracks, areas and updated open services.
CATALONIA: opening of ski resorts 2020
Baqueira Beret
The first alpine ski resort to open is Baqueira Beret, which will open the season on 
December 11, after the bridge.
Opening of the 2020 ski resorts of Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat de Catalunya (FGC): Núria, Molina, Vallter, Vall de Boí, Espot and Port Ainé
Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat de Catalunya (FGC) plans to open its ski resorts (Núria, Molina, Vallter, Vall de Boí, Espot and Port Ainé) once the municipal perimeter confinement of weekends that we have in Catalonia is lifted. That is, on December 21 we can go skiing, although I think it will have to snow a little more. Another important thing is that only those who have ski resorts in their region can go skiing, because the rest of us will be watching 
for now, until mobility is expanded throughout Catalonia.
Nordic ski resorts of Tot Nòrdic
The association of Nordic ski resorts of Catalonia, Tot Nòrdic announced its season pass now but there is still snow and a date for the opening.
News and dates on the opening of 2020 ski resorts in Andorra
In Andorra, they want to open the ski resorts on December 4, although with the borders closed we doubt that they will maintain it. For Andorra this perimeter closure established in Catalonia is being very hard.
News and dates on the opening of French ski resorts 2020
French President Emmanuel Macron communicated a few days ago in a televised message to the nation that at the moment it is impossible for the ski resorts to open during the Christmas holidays.
A real jug of cold water for the ski areas located in the Pyrenees, where you will see how on the other side of the two borders, both the Spanish and Andorran resorts will open these Christmas holidays.
Several associations that encompass the towns and companies in the sector are on a war footing, especially because today they can open shops, but not ski resorts, spas, something incongruous that affects more than 120.000 seasonal workers, who are in danger their income, since Christmas in many cases contributes almost 20% of the turnover of the year.
News and dates on the opening of ski resorts 2020 in Germany
In Germany they will not open the stations until January either, but the government has announced that it will help stores, hotels, restaurants, and also workers by paying them what they earned last year, a solution that only those who have done the job well and do not depend on of external credits may request.
