Season Passes – In order to receive the best rate and direct access lift lines, we highly encourage you to purchase season passes in advance. Season pass pickup will be done through the outside ticket window.  

Lift tickets and AnyCards – All ticket sales, season pass sales, AnyCard redemptions and equipment rental purchases will be done outside at the ticket windows.  We highly recommend entering the ticket line dressed in all your gear, ready to access the lift lines.

Parking at Hoodoo this season will not change.  We do not anticipate reaching parking lot capacity, but on the rare occasion during peak days when parking has reached the gate, we will ask you to wait patiently in your vehicle until we find a parking spot for you. 

Lift Lines & Chairs– Face coverings are required on all chairlifts, specifically in the lift line, loading area and unloading area. Guests should stay with their travelling party and load as a group.  Lift attendants will not require guests to ride a chairlift with people they do not know. 

Face coverings are required in any shared space whether public or private when within 6 feet of another person. Face coverings are also required in the following situations: 

• • Inside the lodge at all times
  • In a shared enclosed area both inside and outside, including lines for tickets, rentals, food and beverages
  • Outside when a distance of 6 feet or more cannot be maintained. 
  • Before entering all ski lift lines 
    

As part of our COVID-19 policy, face coverings  are required in any shared space when within 6 feet of another person. Face coverings — sorry, the cuff of your jacket, your hoodie pulled over your face or anything with holes or cutouts in the front are not acceptable — are also required in the following situations:

1) In a shared enclosed area both inside and outside, including lines for tickets, rentals, food and beverages

2) Outside when a distance of 6 feet or more cannot be maintained

3) Before entering all ski lift lines

Anyone not covering their mouth and nose with a face covering during the aforementioned situations may be subject to the following:

1) A verbal warning by a staff member, who will also record your name and whether you have a season pass or a daily lift ticket. A note of the verbal warning will be kept at the front office. If you quickly cover your mouth and nose after being warned, you can continue on your way. If you refuse to cover your face and/or are hostile to employees or other guests after being warned, your season pass or lift ticket may be temporarily suspended without refund and you will be asked to leave Hoodoo immediately.

2) If a staff member notices you not wearing a face covering after your first warning, your season pass or lift ticket may be temporarily suspended or revoked without refund and you will be asked to leave Hoodoo immediately. You also may not be allowed to return to Hoodoo for two week or more, subject to the discretion of the general manager.

3) If your pass is suspended, you will be able to return to Hoodoo after meeting with the general manager and agreeing to comply with Hoodoo’s COVID-19 guidelines at all times. If your season pass or lift ticket is revoked due to hostile behavior toward staff or other guests, you may not be allowed to purchase season passes or lift tickets next season, subject to the discretion of the general manager.

Furthermore, we have adopted the NSAA’s national guidelines at nsaa.org/skiwellbewell.  Classes will be limited with only six people per instructor. We have modified the first-time lesson sequence to focus on teaching students to get up unassisted. Instructors will do their best to limit close contact with all participants.

Reservations – The Ski and Ride School has implemented a new reservation system. We strongly encourage you to reserve your lesson at least 24 hours in advance. Please check-in at the Ski & Ride School window prior to your lesson time. Walk-up space may be available, but reservations are encouraged during weekends and holidays. If you book a lesson less than 24 hours before a lesson time, we cannot guarantee rental equipment will be immediately ready and you may need to wait longer to receive your gear. We have instructors who are fluent in Spanish, Portuguese and Russian, so please let us know if you need assistance.

Group Lessons – Group lessons will be limited to six participants, plus the instructor.  All guests will be required to load and unload lifts on their own, without assistance from an instructor.  Reservations are highly recommended as we expect long wait times for walk-up guests.
