Big white closing as well....who is next?

[Dr.Evil]

It sounds like it was their decision to close a week early for the greater good.

Yup, plsu they MIGHT not have staff? not sure, either way closed.

Hopefully if berta goes into deeper restrictions its similar to Christmas where outdoor rec is allowed to continue, they clearly got the case loads to drop by just stopping indoor dining etc.

Good Skiing Up the 93N Tuesday. River crossings are almost done S of hector but great coverage up high.

[glademaster]

Fuck yeah!

Solid work there you fucking air puppy!

upper ER5 opened today (TR from caucasian asian later I hope)

Can confirm.
Line at the entry was longer than the line for Summit chair. 3 laps and that was enough Spring-breaker dodging for me.

This is great. Some of the comments they’ve been getting on their social media are hilarious. I spotted someone offering a trade for an Austrian ski resort

I bet most want to stay open for this weekend, so will do much in their power to stay, aviod, deny, etc.

Then after monday will be done.

[hbfs]

ooof you had me pretty anxious right here

[LSeed]

^^Lol yea and then I was like fuck here comes 2 more! Nothing like some foliage to add excitement!

Anyone check out the Wrangle video contest on KHMR youtube? Not a ton of entries but some fun skiing, Mason's is pretty sweet and can't beat watching a 10 year old shred harder then yourself already hahaha.

Yeah, when you look at regular, non-renewal pricing, the full week is up 25% from this year. Not sure how they justify that big a percentage increase in 1 year. Especially when the mid-week only goes up 10%. Even that's borderline of an increase. Guess it shows they really don't care if locals buy passes, because most of us have had substantial pay cuts this year, not 10-25% increases...

And the early bird date for renewals is May 2, not May 12. Don't want to see anyone get burned by 10 days...

[OffStandish]

I guess they have to pay for all these new chair lifts they're planning some how. But yeah, that's a steep increase, I'm not sure I want to see what the SkiBig3 pass pricing will like for next season.

[teamdirt]

I was surprised too by the price increase...

I only get 15-20 days at the hill so it’s teetering on whether it’s worth it or not...

I’m also considering icon pass 999usd 7 ski big 3 days/ 7rmr/7red....

Or epic

Rough 999cdn...7 days rcr unlimited whistler...

There is also all the us resorts Included in those passes if the border ever opens again to tourism..

Yup, it's only 6 days earlier than official closing and historically zero traffic after first of April anyway.

The Albertans are already busy towing their boats and playing golf down there.

No interprovincial travel restrictions so who cares!

Boats Not so much but bikes and sleds for sure.
The few cases I know of have been self induced, my kids buddy decided to go bar hopping in Calgary and got it. Couple liftees went to Revy to party with Revy staff, came back threw another party and guess what....
Stupidity is keeping this shit show going.

Oh well, golf course opens Friday.
