They don't need packed lodges, but food and beverage (especially alcohol) along with ski school are major economic engines for ski resorts. Those will both be heavily impacted as long as Covid is rampant and most predictions have it picking up steam in the winter months. Also, while many will still vacation during the pandemic there is a portion of the population that will not. That could potentially mean a reduction in skier numbers from 25-60% or more no matter the precautions mountains take, especially with the cost of skiing and how many older people go on ski vacations.
