French ski resorts remain closed in February

The French ski slopes will remain closed for the time being. They were supposed to open on February 1, but the French government thinks that is not a good idea because of the corona crisis.

The announcement is a blow to the ski industry, which accounts for between 250,000 and 400,000 jobs. The hotels in the ski resorts are open, but the restaurants are closed and without getting to the ski slopes there are few opportunities for tourists.
