Alberta’s Restriction Exemption Program: Some ski hills are participating in Alberta’s Restriction Exemption Program. This means that only those who are fully vaccinated will be allowed in those sections/entire resort. Ski Hills participating in REP will be operating at full capacity. The unvaccinated can ski and snowboard at ski hills and resorts not participating in the Restriction Exemption Program and those resorts will be operating at one-third capacity.
Update: Alberta has updated REP guidelines to allow outdoor areas to operate without implementing REP effective Nov. 29th.
