Medical Advisory Task Force Webinar
Join the Western Medical Advisory Task Force as they return to share more updated knowledge with us on Thursday, January 28th at 6pm. The panel will be sharing their professional knowledge to help advise members on how to run on-snow clinics and exams and what protocols we can use for teaching guests.
Topics include questions related to vaccine use, access and testing, changes to Personal Protection Equipment (PPE), isolation and quarantine timelines, and how Ski Resorts are doing in protecting guests and employees
