German ski areas not to open? There is this discussion going on....because of Covid-19.
ARD, public TV (Channel One) laid out the basic facts. There are five fundamental issues/facts on the table:
1. Chancellor Merkel wants all European ski areas closed (not just Germany) for this season.
2. Austria says....in a blunt way....they will be open.
3. Italy is sticking to some plan where no ski area will open until 10 January. After that, there is some hint of them opening up. Logic here? Unknown.
4. The Swiss? They are pretty fired-up to open the resorts.
5. Finally, the French. They said all ski resorts can be open, but the lifts to take you up to a point to ski? They will be shut-down. So you'd be going up to some French ski resort hotel....paying a fair sum to just hang around to drink heavily and buy expensive stuff at local stores.....while not skiing.
What'll happen now? Anyone's guess. If you crapped out the German ski season? The resorts would be demanding the government cover the cost, which would go into a minimum of a billion Euro. I'm guessing that the Finance Minister would go nuts over that idea.
If you allowed them all to open? You'd probably get a huge surge for a month or two....of more Covid-19.
