Ski season in Corona times: Down the mountain with an FFP2 mask (video)

The start of the ski season in Garmisch-Partenkirchen. Everything as always, actually, but only almost. In addition to the FFP2 mask requirement in many areas, the 2G rule applies around the slopes. For many skiers, that’s OK. “It definitely helps the ski area. I think that from a purely organizational point of view it would have been really difficult with 2G + and, accordingly, it might have completely failed so I think that’s good. ” “So, of course, I’m happy that it’s starting and that you can ski. I think the 2G rule is not a problem. I hope today that it won’t be checked any further. That’s fine.” “I’m doing great. This is the first day on skis for me this season and the 2G is absolutely fine. You got used to it, I think.” And the offer has been well received, says Verena Altenhofen, spokeswoman for the Garmisch Classic ski area. “To have the season opener today on a Thursday is relatively relaxed. We can also readjust a bit in places that don’t yet fit properly. We’ll look at each other today and tomorrow and then we’ll be ready for the first weekend . ” Altenhofen appeals to everyone to really participate in the hygiene concept with 2G and FFP2, only then can you get through the season well, she says.
