Maintain a distance of 6’ or greater from those who are not my dependent or personal guest. Lifts will be limited to two people per chair; please be respectful of those who want to ride alone.
Comply, without incident, if I am asked pull my face covering up, put my face covering on, step back, create distance, or leave the event.

Why No Alcohol at the Team Appreciation Event?
We understand there is disappointment in this. During the season small groups of guests or team members gathered with minimal issues; it would be easy for this to become one massive group when it is just the team here in celebration mode. Based on evidence from the last few weeks, there was a clear need for parameters to discourage certain behaviors at a sponsored company event. Several groups of employees have been observed drinking and standing too close (mostly in the parking lot), and have had to be asked to separate.
It is a bummer for sure because we all want to get together and celebrate the end of the season. The reality is we are not out of the pandemic yet, risk levels in Hood River County and surrounding areas are going in the wrong direction and we need to remain vigilant.
If you are considering going offsite to a SnoPark or other forest areas, please be mindful of Meadows’ reputation with the U.S. Forest Service and that we are all subject to those regulations when outside of the MHM permit area.
