Border restrictions began to ease in European countries starting in early 2022 and continued through the spring, and by summer, almost
all of Europe was open to tourist travel without restriction. During the pandemic, resorts relied heavily on locals, and are now looking
forward to a more normal winter season with an increased number of international travelers. The beautiful mountain views in Chamonix,
France await. Located at the base of Mont Blanc, the highest summit in the Alps, Chamonix is a skiing/boarding paradise.

Canada by air, land or marine mode, previous restrictions have
been lifted. Proof of COVID-19 vaccination, pre-entry and arrival
tests, quarantine after entering Canada and using the ArriveCAN

tourists back. As of October 11, 2022, tourists with U.S. Passports
no longer needed a visa to stay up to three months. However,
tourists must either have at least three coronavirus shot
applications or a pre-arrival test with a negative result. The U.S.
embassy strongly urges any U.S. citizens considering travel to
Japan to carefully review the information available from the Government
of Japan, available on their website, because details (including
vaccination requirements) and additional information will
be updated on their website when available.

This recommendation is applicable for any travel destination
this winter season. It is still possible that some individual businesses
might continue to limit discretionary activities, such as
visits to retail shops, restaurants, bars, and museums or theatres,
to individuals who can provide proof of COVID-19 vaccination.

Masks might also be required, based on the airport, airline or
country of your destination. Always plan ahead, and check
with your tour operator, airline, resort, or country being visited,
for the latest regulations. If the past three years of traveling
in a COVID-19 environment has taught us anything, it
certainly was to be prepared, and to be flexible!
Japan also lifted a major restriction in October, welcoming Resorts Are Ready
It's time to start planning and booking reservations for
the upcoming 2022-2023 winter season. The resorts are ready,
and with all the new technology available and capital improvements
that have been made, are in a good position to offer you
a memorable experience with the best customer service and
safest environment possible.
During the pandemic, social gatherings, including après
ski parties had to be curtailed. Meals were in takeout containers
and eaten at outside tables or in our cars. It is with
great hope and expection that we will be après-pandemic this
upcoming winter season, and able to have a meal together and
socialize to the fullest extent with our families and friends as
we have done in the past, and enjoy the total ambiance of our
sport. ss
