A Sign Of The Times - New COVID-19 Warning Signs Erected At State Border Crossings
As the news continues to report an increase in the number of COVID-19 cases nationwide, here in the state of Vermont warnings have gone out concerning the need for a mandatory quarantine for those visiting from surrounding states. To that end, the state has begun to erect new signs at border crossings that inform visitors that quarantine is necessary and where to find more information about the guidelines to follow.

So far, five of these new signs have been put up at Vermont border crossings with the states of New York, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire. According to a social media post from the Vermont Agency of Transportation (VTrans), these first signs were to be set up by midnight tonight, 11/17, with more installations to follow over the next week.
The concern from the snow sports community is centered around what will become of the upcoming skiing and snowboarding season. Though mountains are set to open in the coming weeks, will they be able to stay open for the entire winter? Or, will these quarantine guidelines for travelers be expanded to full lockdown-like orders for the locals, as well?
