Welcome back to Lift Ticket: Resort Riding in Covid Times. 

For this show we’ve brought in one of the industry experts - Christian Knapp - to fill us in on how the multibillion dollar resort industry is adapting to a virus that has turned the world upside down.

Christian has managed some of the biggest resorts in the world for the past 20 years including Breckenridge and Aspen Snowmass and now he is on the hunt for The Snowboard Project. 

In episode 2 we take a look at how the resort industry has planned and prepared for the upcoming winter and what changes riders can expect to see at their resorts.

We also get the local perspective on the changing face of ski towns and discuss the effects of the virus on snow media. 

Christian talks to Olivia Rowan about how she mobilized the entire resort industry to face Covid-19 head on. 

We get an update from Jackson Hole about what policies they have put in place to keep riders safe this year and the current status of Travis Rice’s long anticipated Natural Selection competition. 

Then we talk to journalists Jason Blevins from the Colorado Sun and Mike Rogge, who recently purchased the Mountain Gazette, about what it’s like to have so many new neighbors in their local communities.
