Building Usage

We are currently working with the mountain to determine the appropriate usage of the WPRC facilities.  As we get more information, we will update this page.  In the meantime, here are some of the things to consider as you start to think about what this winter will look like:

  1. We are going to keep people outside as much as possible
    1. Do not enter buildings if you don’t have to!
    2. Come dressed for the weather
  2. Come to mountain prepared to ski
    1. Think about using your cars to boot up or get warm.
    2. Parking lots to consider using:
      1. Maintenance lot below Avalanche lift
      2. Hotel lot and walk down the stairs to the training center
  3. All buildings will have limited capacity
    1. Limits will be based on PA health guidelines
    2. Capacity limits are currently set at 20% of maximum occupancy
  4. Wear masks at all times
  5. Wash hands or use hand sanitizer before leaving

The following table provides details for facilities that WPRC typically utilizes:
