Nice article.
I see masks may have to be worn pretty much everywhere. The libertarians won't like that. Wonder who'll get shot first.
Some interesting e-business innovations there too.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

I hope if masks are mandatory they are going to give at least some guidance of what masks are (not) allowed. Buff doesn't really offer any protection for the wearer or the people surrounding them...

The UK government told us in March that its scientists had said that masks offered no protection - ie the same as buffs.
I wonder what's changed between then and now?

The article is consistent with what I've read at various US ski area sites I frequent. I have not seen anything regarding specifications for the required masks/face coverings. Nor do I expect to. It will be hard enough for the liftie to enforce having anything on your face, as I witnessed in April when I skied at Timberline.

Maybe the clarification that there is no protection for the wearer but there is protection for those around.

The advice was based on availability and not medical science.
In March the Government were struggling to get PPE and if they had said we should all wear masks there would not have been enough for the NHS.

Pretty much this - they commandeered masses of PPE from UK suppliers to distribute to the NHS and other services that were in need.

No mask no lift ride in Nz during the winter just finished. Wasn’t a big drama. The lifties all had a few disposable masks to hand out as well.
The buff ones are pretty good btw.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

It will be next to impossible to enforce WHICH KIND of mask is acceptable.
For one thing, in the colder month, or when it’s actually snowing/windy, many are going to wear their normal thick balaclava or neck gaiter. It’s impossible to ask them to remove it to show they’re actually wearing an “approved mask” underneath. It will not be done.
Therefore, any face covering will be acceptable.
