    Interesting.

    Again, outside - with a mask on - is a hell of a lot different than inside. Further, new data is suggesting that surfaces are not a big factor in spreading, so it's mainly open mouth to open mouth, figuratively speaking.

    Ergo, outside with a mask makes sense to me. Let it snow!

    From what I have read the virus usually enters the body through receptors in the nose.

    But spreads through aerosolized saliva from the back of the throat.

    One of the big concerns that was expressed was that the anti-mask crowd will remove masks after loading lift to "make a point" as we've seen time and again across the country and that self-policing is not realistically gonna work.

    Even if it’s super conservative, there’s no way I’m riding a lift with randos this season on full lifts. If WP is doing that, then I won’t be skiing the magical trees at the Jane. Oh well.

    This seems more problematic on a lift than in other places cuz you can't simply walk away from the maskless person unless you wanna take a big jump.

    Maskless, hacking person. That’s my fear.
    More so in the bathroom than on the lift.

    What kind of science is WP doing?

    Masks and some sort of separation must be mandatory, no doubt, but I really hope people who are vulnerable or afraid just stay home. Do not make this worse for yourself or others. The virus is gonna do what viruses do, and there will definitely be transmission. We are in the midst of a pandemic.

    just give lifties ticket issueing privileges for those not wearing masks.

    One of my professors did mouth to mouth resuscitation on a baboon that he gave too much valium to. Fortunately for the professor the CPR was unsuccessful.

    Fixed it for you.
    Vulnerable people should stay home? Let's see--balancing the opportunity for someone to do something they love (vulnerable people love skiing as much as everyone else) vs the freedom to not have to do something mildly inconvenient. Seems like the equation comes out in favor of the former. Vulnerable people (probably half this forum) should be able to ski without being afraid. People who are just scared should stay home but I doubt many of them are skiers.

    Remember all the bitching last season when the lifts stopped turning? How many people crying about wearing masks would have gladly worn one last season if that would have kept the resorts open? For that matter, keeping the lifts turning this season could well depend on whether people wear them this season. So if you love skiing wear a mask. If you don't love skiing enough to wear a mask stay home. (That's the general "you", not the personal "you". I'd ride a lift with you if there was a space between us. And BTW--my base layer is not getting washed next season. Not once.)

    Yes there will still be transmission. Let's keep it to a minimum.

    Becoming increasingly intolerant of Ikon / Alterra - Friday the GM of _________ responded to my email saying ‘yea we’re working out all the items- but we’ve publicly jumped the gun on sharing & need to be more close to the vest...

    Then Sugarbush drops the bomb & declares no seasonal programming nor group lessons....

    C’Mon Man- get ur communications organized & why is ‘Bush phoning it in on programming?!

    I’m not trying to be a dick, I just don’t want you (read: my father who’s probably your age) becoming a statistic. Not to mention, people complaining about the stats, but then disregarding guidelines.

    that’s a good idea though. Get so stanky that people want to hold their breath around you. If they aren’t breathing, they aren’t transmitting this virus?

    I did this same thing hiking this summer. Wore the same stuff until it got so stanky I couldn't stand wearing it in the car on the way to the trailhead. It seemed to help. The Outdoor Research Echo pieces seem to funk up fast and really hold a funk nicely. This is the year to skip merino and go all synthetic, for sure.

    Also, no deodorant, make sure you're holding some dank nugs, and don't shower before heading to the hill. Obviously.

    And if things are really crowded, eat a bean breakfast burrito, skip the bathroom and shit your pants. Works every time.

    Gotta remember that vulnerable people interact with those who go skiing.

    Haha. I got stuck in a bubble top lift in Japan with this guy who smelled like shit and I contemplated trying to jump off.

    Was buying some items at the store yesterday. Some old dude started hacking. He had a mask on, but lowered it to hack some more. I took one angry look at the dude, turned around and left. No way in hell, I want to be in that scenario on a chair lift. I guess, you would need to judge which way the wind is blowing, and make sure you are up wind from some random skier on a chair.

    ETA: Was skiing in Zermatt about 10 years ago. There were a lot of folks hacking and coughing in the village. I ended up on a gondola with some Dutch folks, one of which was coughing and sniffling. Gondi gets stopped for about 15 minutes, and then starts up again. Two days later I've got severe bronchial infection. So, just imagine that scenario playing out in the COVID era.

    and? That doesn’t make it right for vulnerable people to go out Skiing and get sick, inflate the numbers, then blame Republicans for this mess when both sides are disregarding guidelines. Not to mention that makes us stay closed down and ruins the education of lots of young people, including myself.

    One of the biggest things I’m realizing from this virus, is that the current crop of old people are selfish AF. I may catch some heat for that, but I don’t care. A lot of my friends have been talking about this lately. Most people I see without masks are older people in fact.

    We close the country dowN for you, then you go out skiing or to the gym or whatever and get sick, then the numbers get bad, round and round we go and we can’t reopen shit. God this is infuriating.
