WCBR COVID-19 Health and Safety Guidelines 

At WCBR, we encourage you to make informed decisions about traveling. Please view the statement from the Executive Committee and current COVID-19 related guidelines for relevant governing authorities below.

Mandatory Vaccination Requirement

Given the recent surge of the COVID-19 Delta variant, WCBR is implementing a mandatory vaccine requirement for all in-person meeting attendees. Entrance to the Conference Center and all designated WCBR meeting spaces will also be limited to registered scientific meeting attendees and staff only. Guests and children will still be welcome to attend the Mountain Lunch and Closing Banquet with purchased guest tickets.

All registrants will be required to upload a photo of their COVID-19 vaccination card during registration. Those wishing to apply for a medical exemption authorized by their primary care provider may reach out to the WCBR Executive Office at info@winterbrain.org to request a medical exemption form.

During registration, attendees will also be asked to sign the WCBR Waiver and Release of Liability for Communicable Disease, acknowledging that they understand the risks involved with in-person meetings. Due to the evolving nature of COVID-19, WCBR will publish all final safety protocols (in the form of a COVID Code of Conduct) on December 1, 2021 to ensure that the most up-to-date guidance from the CDC is considered. Registrants will receive the COVID Code of Conduct via email and will need to attest that they will comply with these measures.

COVID Update from Aspen & Snowmass Tourism Center: Summer is in full swing in the Roaring Fork Valley. The bike trails are open, the lifts are spinning, the fish are biting, and we’ve fired up the grills on our mountains for lunch with a view. As we soak up the summer, we’ve seen continued improvement across all Covid metrics and things are mostly back to pre-pandemic operations. Capacity and social distancing rules have mostly been eliminated, but individuals are still required to follow rules implemented at a federal, state, and local level where applicable. In Aspen and Pitkin County, mask restrictions were lifted in all indoor and outdoor public settings in early June. Festivals and sporting events are back on, and on-mountain activities are in full swing on Snowmass and Aspen Mountain. We ask that all guests keep themselves updated on rules surrounding specific events and venues.
