The Asessippi Ski Area and Resort have decided to close until February 1st due to a case of COVID-19.
Yesterday, they learned a staff member tested positive for the virus.
Even though public health officials say the exposure risk is low and didn’t request the resort to close, they made the decision anyways.
In a release, they say, “All we care about is everyone’s health and safety. We would rather not be here at all than put our staff, our guests, and the public at risk and have thus decided to close for two weeks and issue this notice.”
It isn’t known how this case was transmitted, but the resort says as soon as the individual recognized they were symptomatic, they were tested and isolating within hours.
If there’s a risk identified to guests, public health will inform Asessippi Resort and the public.
All guests that prebooked lifts until February 1st will be automatically refunded.
