2021/22 Operating Plan
As we navigate through another unusual season, we understand that you probably have a lot of questions about what this winter will look like at Loveland. Many of the restrictions from last season will not be in implemented for the 2021/22 season, but some will remain in place. We place the highest value on the health and safety of our guests and employees and that will drive our decision making. Our goal is to make it through another full season and we believe this is possible with your help.
Please see below for a summary of expected operational changes broken down by department for the 2021/22 season. We will continuously monitor the impacts of COVID-19 and make adjustments as conditions permit.
Please stay home if you are sick.
Face coverings are required inside of all Loveland facilities and on shuttle busses.
Guests are not required to be vaccinated, tested or to provide test results.
