Another B.C. ski hill is being impacted by COVID-19.

Revelstoke Mountain Resort has released a statement saying the mountain resort is experiencing a staff shortage because of what it called “COVID-19-related circumstances.”

A statement released late Tuesday read: “As a result of COVID-19-related circumstances, we are experiencing a staff shortage and are unable to open the mountain tomorrow, Wednesday, March 31. No lifts will be in operation and access to the mountain will be prohibited.”

Anyone who purchased a pass for that will be refunded.
