Seems like the folks at Schweitzer are doing their best with the mask situation. Or trying to.

Good afternoon Schweitzer Family,

It is not often I feel proud to have grown up in N Idaho and skiing at Schweitzer, but that is a wonderful and amazingly well crafted letter given the times we live in.

i was pretty happy to read that today, wild times

i grabbed take out in post falls last night; full house, i was the odd man out

I'm a little surprised you guys are even allowed to ski in idaho? Are the hospitals holding up?

You guys have nearly a 50% test positivity rate!

Ha ha Idaho is very much open, not saying that’s a good thing…




Luckily silver is empty, had the gondy to myself, and haven’t shared a lift yet!

Hospitals are just fine as of now as patients are being sent home to recover where most are recovered in a week or less with a majority experiencing mild symptoms. Total covid patients in ICU at KEC last I knew was 9, all over the age of 70, with a total of 54 hospitalized for monitoring, most over the age of 65. KEC is setting aside another wing for covid patients if needed. This is for a 5 county area. Some one posted an article about our hospitals flying patients out to other hospitals, that is completely false. Do they have plans in place to do so if necessary? Of course they have an emergency plan as do all hospitals. We are also testing like crazy and most are Asymptomatic. KEC tests every person who comes in no matter why you are there and a lot of double testing as well. ie: walk in for check up, test, come back in a couple days for follow up, tested again so you are counted twice if positive both times.
So in short, please stay away from Idaho and stop moving here, thanks.

And THIS is why this thread exists!!! Looks killer, homie!!!
STOKE!

[Shorty_J]

Lol... I'm in canada so I cant come there anyway.

Your testing rate per capita is a little less than where I am and 50% are testing positive... that's a lot.

It was just curious concern.

Sounds like I have a week to decide to turn in my Schweitzer pass and buy one for Silver where the coverage is better and masks are unnecessary due to the empty slopes. This is excellent news.

[jimmiepoison]

I was up at Silver today too. Stayed until last chair and towards the end of the day, literally had the entire slope to myself. Blue skies and decent stashes to be found all day. Lots of stoke out here!

[2FUNKY]

Noiiice! Pack that shit down. I’ll be up soon suckas! Save me a seat!

[TAFKALVS]

Lots of people have the bat flu up here, most I know have extremely minor cold like symptoms, and a few with more severe symptoms like burning lungs and feeling like steaming hot garbage for 10 days.

If I was willing to risk my life in a time like this and move to ID, no doubt it would be Kellogg or Wallace for cheap real estate and easy access to Silver. Coverage and lack of lines are just added bonus.

Top to bottom bluebird laps at Schweitzer today. Viva La Nina.

You forgot about the bat-flu we have up here.

Poor coverage, check.
Covid, check.
American Redoubt 3% Oath Keepers, check.

Silver is far more cosmopolitan, being that it is only a 45 minute drive from Northern California and 1.25 hours from Spokane. Definitely the place to be.

Holy shit! I had just unloaded when it stopped. I assumed it was a mechanical issue. Hope everyone’s ok

The fuck? Is that a detachable chair? Or fixed grip?

fixed grip (or, in this case, broken grip). they don't have any detachables afaik. maybe this will accelerate any upgrade plans in the works.

Fuck, someone screwed up!!

Not the first time a chair fell off that line.... one dropped last February also.


"Separately, the ski resort acknowledged that a chair on lift No. 1, Bonanza, unexpectedly detached from its cable while passing through a loading station Saturday afternoon.“The riders were in contact with the snow in the load station when the carrier came off,” the resort said in a Facebook comment Monday morning. “The problem was quickly identified and addressed. There is not an ongoing safety issue with that chair or its carriers.”

It was a fixed grip, but now it's living its life as a non-binary detachable!
