yeah but i think the definition of "late" is going to get a whole lot earlier if no one carpools. i mean if the number of cars that show up by time X goes up 3x... i try to be out the door by 615 from van. i'd rather not make that too much earlier
your forecasting data of course will help to offset this. hoping it's right. i've been saying springing for a full pass was either the best or worst decision, but with la nina and ppl scared off by the reservation system, maybe things are pointing to the former...

well, I definitely made the wrong decision last year getting a pass, probably the worst season I've had in 18 years on the mountain between bad early season, and then just lift breakdowns or alpine opening issues every time I was up, then of course, the covid....we're getting a nice payback with la Nina this year, right??!! hahaha

Keep in mind there will be nearly zero American cars in the parking lots. That's a big factor right there. I think carpooling will be reduced somewhat, but I doubt it's going to be a massive difference.

So accounting group in CO is figuring out how to use this "60% reduction " into banking tax credits, write offs and debt relief into more future profit than had they just had a normal season. The big fish just gonna get bigger in all this. A rethink on the price model will be harder to claw back down the road.

The last couple seasons, I try to leave Mount Pleasant by 5:45 on weekend powder days. Park at 7:30ish at a leisurely driving pace and then you end up decently far up the Creekside lineup and get more mid mountain pow laps. It’s early, but you also reduce the chances of highway fuckery a lot by getting on the road before 6. Such is life for a weekend warrior citiot these days.
Wondering if covid cases ramping will impact WB operating plans, or if it being an outdoor activity (besides gondolas) assures they will open. Seeing resorts shut down in Europe can’t make them feel comfortable.
