Rumor mill that CO governor Polis is ordering all resorts to close. Just a rumor, hope it isn't true

Mt. Bachelor posted this yesterday but just sent it in an email. They are planning to stay open.

Grand Targhee is basically the same: https://www.grandtarghee.com/covid-19-public-notice/
I think local hills that don't rely on tourists/lodging and are independent are the best bets to stay open longest. At least until the government steps in. Just keep lodges closed, no kid care, lessons, etc. You know, the things that actually make them money. I guess I'm going to need to learn to tour now.

With school closures, I can see how the hills need to close just from a HR standpoint. plenty of senior staff/mgmt, patrollers, etc. are parents of school-aged kids that may have few options for childcare.
Also, the potential of all lower level staff living in resort dorm housing and the j1s...

Whitefish says they're staying open, although they were closed today due to -40 windchill. They're scheduled to close April 5 regardless though.

Highlands was fun today, complete with Apres Ski. Hope Aspen stays open.

The boy is supposed to have his last day with his ski club tomorrow at Alta. I think I am about to break it to him that we are pulling the plug. He's going to be heartbroken but it just seems irresponsible to go up there and send him into the lodges for lunch, bathroom breaks, etc. Still considering shooting up in the PM for a few last laps of the year and let him meet up for the little award ceremony. Probably be better to not even do that. Total first world problem, but this whole thing really fucking sucks.

I used to work at Snowmass. COVID-19 is already going through their employee locker room. SkiCo knows their employees have the disease and are offering 7 days extra paid sick leave to any employee who “tests positive”. Problem is tests are only for elderly so they can’t test their employees.

They’re basically slowly running out of toilet paper and hand sanitizer and are forced into closing

Just got the notice. Had a trip this Thursday with my son, was already ditching it obviously, also have 4 plane tix for Easter weekend, but figured they would nixed regardless even before today.
Enjoy the skinning local mags, at least the traffic is going to be non existent for you.

Ski season cancelled?
My school shut down for 2 weeks...
Yesterday when I got home from school I was sooo close to booking a 2 week “chaser” trip somewhere.....(I know I should be isolating myself, blah, blah, etc.)....but come on...2 weeks off...so tempting to get out of here.
I’m glad my wife talked me out of it...lol.
