With a huge chunk of people being affected while staying at the various ski resorts, Karen Abrams has something to convey them.

Since the spread of this horrifying virus has begun, the affected skiers who booked their stays shall be apologized by refunding them accordingly.

Having established a renowned set of about 120 resorts in most of the countries (13, keeping the exact count), Crystal ski has been the world's one of the successful ski operators. With being provided assurance of refunds, they have also passed on another option of choosing the holiday destination next year.

As per Lynsey Devon, be it a small ski resort or a big, established ski company, every ski-related businesses are at huge risk. Owning a world-famous company Heaven Publicity, it is a pity to be having to face such a crisis.

With a stern set of rules and strict actions taken against those who walk around, and spreading the virus unaware, the world is coming together to fight the battle.
