Austrian ski slopes have been allowed to remain open while the rest of the country languishes under a 20-day lockdown.
While Austria has entered into another national lockdown, forcing bars, restaurants, cinemas, pubs, gyms, and all non-essential shops to shut, ski resorts within the country will be allowed to continue welcoming elites to their slopes.
Austrians have largely been confined to their homes since Monday, and are only allowed to leave to buy food and to exercise under the 20-day lockdown.
According to a report by The Telegraph, skiing is considered a recreational outdoor exercise, and as such slopes have been allowed to remain open.
Ski lifts and cablecars have also been permitted to keep operating, as they have been defined as essential services. Austrian authorities have cited safety reasons for the decision, saying that the lifts are needed in order to prevent skiers from getting stuck on top of mountains.
While slopes have managed to dodge the lockdown order, there have been new restrictions put in place that resorts will be legally forced to abide by.

If only there was a strong Austrian man that could rise to power...
Nazis enjoy alpine sports.
That’s so politically incorrect.
Marxists like suffering to be universal and then call it equity.
I’ll be at my subtle 10,000 sq ft lodge if you need me. Yes, the one adjacent to the slopes.
Creepy. Like hanging huge banners across their slopes saying,
“Avalanches Welcome”

Definitely made me spit out my coffee. ;-)
In exceptional cases, one can leave one's abode - but only, e.g., to obtain prescription medicines or to consult with a physician.
Absolutely no outdoor activity is permitted under the Lockdown - except for one brisk, 5-minute walk each day or multi-hour cross-country ski tours and lengthy, Glühwein-fuelled après-ski celebrations.

Seems legit to me!

It’s all arbitrary, which proves it fake.
