I just got back from a week at Alta, Snowbird, Solitude, Deer Valley and Brighton. I feel very lucky to have had the experience with all the fresh snow, but I understand why these resorts are closing. They host SO many international people. Less than half the people I chatted with lived in Utah. There is no doubt in my mind that corona virus was at those mountains this weekend.
I want to thank you all for opinions in other threads about what skis to bring/places to go etc. I had a great time on my K108s and WC116s. Both came in handy.

How many fingers that have been sneezed and coughed on touched the cup and flagstick? Ball washer? Credit card? Cart steering wheel?
Coronavirus lasts 48 hours in air and 10 days on hard surfaces.

How exactly can a virus live for 48hrs in the air? It just lingers there floating for 2 days after a sneeze?

On further reflection, I guess it is more like dialysis in the 60's than solid organ transplant today, since in general, once you've done the transplant it's done, but you can always kick somebody off dialysis or the vent or ECMO.
So that adds an additional layer to the moral calculus. Is the dude already on the vent some elderly junkie sex offender with COPD, yet inexplicably hanging in there, while the young triathlete McArthur grantee with 6 adopted kids is spiraling in respiratory distress? Whaddaya do?
It's difficult to imagine how the Italian docs have to make these decisions, while overextended and exhausted.
I'm not looking forward to how it plays out here.

I stumbled on a article while waiting in the airport, that in Italy, difficult decisions are already being made regarding who receives treatment.

From above Atlantic article
"Those who are too old to have a high likelihood of recovery, or who have too low a number of “life-years” left even if they should survive, would be left to die. This sounds cruel, but the alternative, the document argues, is no better. “In case of a total saturation of resources, maintaining the criterion of ‘first come, first served’ would amount to a decision to exclude late-arriving patients from access to intensive care.”

Yeah, the Atlantic article describes the triage decisionmakng quite well - excruciating regardless, but made prior to patients being shunted to higher levels of care.
What I was wondering how they make decisions when there are people on all available vents, with more needed - do they kick those with a poorer prognosis off for those with a better prognosis?
Probably not, they prolly just play it as it lays, but difficult decisions all along the line.

While many of you will continue to backcountry ski and head to the desert to mountain bike, consider what could happen if you get injured. My wife hurt her leg a couple weeks ago and is now worried about the hospital being closed to elective surgeries, post op visits being cancelled and the PT office shutting down. At this point, I wouldn’t be counting on good healthcare if you are to get injured. Stay healthy out there!

Good point. I was thinking about taking it easy only because I didn't want to go to the hospital if it was full of COVID patients. Same with driving and getting in an accident. Trying to get my bike fixed ASAP at the local shop before an unexpected closure of the shop. I will NEED to bike through this, ha.
I left my touring ski poles at Alta Thursday, not sure how to get those back now...

I just said this in another thread, but everyone should keep in mind this is just skiing. Most places have had a good season. The snow will be back next winter.
