Has anyone mentioned that Newsom is about to close all ski lodges in CA?

**Mr. Toad** · 03-12-2020, 05:54 PM

Please elaborate.

If you are considering Calvi, I can recommend https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/18681175. Stayed there a week last summer and it was great. Perfect location walking distance to town, beach. 20 minute drive to mountains great hiking and streams.

Also, if in Calvi, you need to visit https://annietraiteur.com/ and get provisions for you hikes/beach time. Amazing selection of local cured meats, cheese, and everything else good.

Rumor someone told me. I thought unlikely since he has big interest in PlumpJack.

**BobMc** · 03-12-2020, 06:57 PM

That’ll really put a damper on my upcoming Bahamas ski trip.

**romeo tango** · 03-12-2020, 07:11 PM

mine too

**The Tortoise** · 03-12-2020, 07:17 PM

All Canadian ski races are cancelled, my ten year old was pissed.

Heading to Le Massif Monday... I'm presuming I'll remain open. They have had about 60 cm of snow in the last week.

Isn't it time to stop spreading rumors? The truth is bad enough.

My brother canceled his family Mexico trip today. Did not think he'd have fun stressing the whole time about whether they'd be able to get home. He had the trip fully insured, which helps of course.

**old goat** · 03-12-2020, 08:27 PM

Assuming this thing goes on for a good while and reaches some kind of steady state maybe the world (ie WHO) will get together and come up with a a universal set of rules re international travel, grounds for quarantine, grounds for testing, rules for entry, etc. People will be more likely to travel if they can predict what is likely to happen to them. Of course getting all the countries to agree would be another story.

Dude -- awesome beta. Thanks. Sadly the place is booked when we'll be there. Welcome a PM on any other exploits you enjoyed (especially the hikes around Calvi). Calvi was on our list as a place of the right size with some town life but hopefully pretty calm.

My trip is insured if the airlines cancel the flights, but not if I am just skeered.

If the consequences of an unexpected 2 week quarantine are not severe (like losing your job, etc.), then go.

**rideit** · 03-12-2020, 09:48 PM

No consequences at all.
I can think of worse things than being stuck in Sayulita for a few weeks with my bike.
Kiddo would be ecstatic. Wifey is just more concerned with us getting sick down there, as the hospitals are awful.

People still go to ski lodges? I thought 9 dollar beers and 18 dollar bloody Mary's scared everyone away.

I would fine if the closed the resort. Keep all those germs out of here. Our old folks are already taxed living at altitude. Our hospitals can rebuild you if a 50 ton boulder rolls over to but you will die of the crud.

**altacoup** · 03-12-2020, 10:34 PM

I heard that the Alta clinic doctor was in the wildcat parking lot in a full hazmat suit because some ikoner was convinced they were sick. Pretty sure the virus is imbedded in every ikon pass. Russians or Chinese really know what demographic to kill off in order to destroy us.

Just bailed on a hut trip, shit is moving too fast and 2 days of close quarters with 15 other people, seemed a bit of a risk for all of us.

**subtle plague** · 03-12-2020, 11:52 PM

Most ski areas and mountain huts in Austria are closing.

Jealous much? What a dick comment.

NYS shutting down gondolas at Whiteface, Belleayre and Gore and made this same statement for all 3 mountains. Get there early or the bouncer won't let you in the lodge.

Whiteface will be open during regular business hours with limited capacity. We will be operating with a 50% density reduction within our indoor facilities. Additionally, the Cloudsplitter Gondola will be closed for the remainder of the season starting at 5:00 pm on Friday, March 13. All lifts and the seating capacity on lifts will also be controlled. We will post any updates here as they occur.
