He acknowledges that queues are a problem, but states that they do their best to comply with infection control rules.

Avisa Oslo received a picture of the elevator queue at Tårnbakken in the Tryvann ski resort on Tuesday afternoon. The tipper wants to be anonymous, but describes a queue with a very small distance and that people also sat very close on the chair lifts.

Along with the children’s area and conveyor belts that transport skiers around the facility, the roughly one kilometer long Tårnbakken is the only downhill currently open at the facility.

When Avisa Oslo calls general manager Espen Bengston in Skimore Oslo, who operates the plant in Tryvann, he acknowledges that queues are a problem. At the same time, he notes that they do their best to comply with infection control rules.

– First of all, it’s about us taking infection control 100% seriously. The biggest challenge for us is the queue for elevators and elevators, he tells AO.

– We hope that those who approach us have a distance the length of the rod, and we do what we can to point it out at all times. It is not necessary on the descent, but at the entrance and in the queue, he adds.

Bengston lists the measures they have implemented:

* Block installation for new guests when there are many inside. With the current capacity, the limit is 500 to 600 people.

* Staffing has been increased by 300 percent, to guide and make sure people keep their distance.

* Animate from one meter away.

* In the elevator there must be a free seat between you and the next person, if you do not belong to the same cohort.

– My impression is that we do it quite well. With our hands on our hearts: We do what we can to limit the number of guests and at the same time have enough employees to ensure that those who are there comply with the rules that apply to our industry at all times, says the manager of Tryvann.

Capacity challenges

The biggest challenge has been the bad winter. About one-tenth of the facility is open. Bengston says they are already working to open more elevators on January 1. The weather forecast seems to provide a much-needed dose of snow and cold.

They operate with about 25 percent of the lifting capacity.

– It has meant that we have stopped by the parking lot and said that, unfortunately, it is a full period. It’s very sad to say that, but most people fully understand it, says the general manager.

He notes that they have good experience with the infection control rules for summer activities in Tryvannshøgda. In all, they have received an email complaint about the infection control situation, says Bengston. It also says the company has been unable to trace the infection to any employees or visitors.

Bengston highlights the collaboration with other ski resorts and with the Alpinanleggenes Landsforening industrial organization.

– We are very concerned that we do it professionally.
