Ski holidays weren't on the cards for Brits last winter, with travel restrictions in force due to the pandemic – as well as the UK's own lockdown rules, which at the time included a ban on international travel. However, with ongoing vaccine rollouts and easing restrictions, snow-starved skiers will be hitting the slopes this season as ski resorts across Europe are once again opening to holidaymakers - meaning 2021/22 should be a ski season to remember.   The 6.3 million Brits who regularly hit the slopes are now free to do so, with Austria confirming it be open to overseas visitors, as well as Germany, France, and Switzerland.  But with two thirds of UK skiers aged 45-65, resorts have brought in new measures to ensure guests remain safe while enjoying their winter breaks. Resorts are set to introduce precautionary measures seen elsewhere this year, including mandatory MNP (Mouth Nose Protection), regular sanitisation of cable cars and ski lifts, and daily testing of employees for Covid-19.
