However, if their case load does not increase with deaths, it could signal the variant maybe more infectous but not as dangerous.
Still, will not save the season, imv.

The COVID-19 restrictions are being extended almost everywhere; it is likely that there will be UK style in lockdowns across Europe in the near future.
The prospect of UK based skiers being allowed to travel to EU and not having to go into quarantine when they get there before the end of the skiing season is very slim.

I think it is now very very unlikely we will even go.
Its almost a write off already.

This could tell us we are negative, or not, before we commit to a paid test with a FTF certificate.
Its a start and i think some countries might consider accepting plans like this to help pump money into resort economies...hopefully.

On the upside for some it is reported that Saalbach, which was one of a few big name resorts not to open lifts when they could to try to relieve the misery of local people who found them themselves without income but lots of unexpected free time, has today opened a few lifts for locals.

My understand on this though, is that entrants to the country from high risk areas (including returning nationals) will need to quarantine for 10 days. So unless you are going for a fortnights trip, no skiing for us atmo :(
