East Coast Roll Call #??? 20-21 Covid closures and hard core touring! Be Fit or Sit

[HankScorpio]

From what I see here in area as well.... that kids are not transmitting in schools....we are “face to face” with those rug rats all day long (w/masks)....but nobody is getting sick (yet?)....it’s definitely strange that our school has been free of spread for the past 11 weeks.

We were doing great with the "hybrid" learning model - kids on alternate days and were only in the building 8 hrs a week along with health screenings, masks, etc. but now we're shut down again due to a few staff contracting it. I thought our admin had a solid plan for keeping the COVID out but we didn't even make it until Thanksgiving. Now we are scheduled to go back on 12/2 but then how long until we get another case? Our county is currently blowing up and it will get worse with the holidays coming and people traveling. I'm happy I'm not the one making these decisions about schools.

I'd like to be stoked for ski season but its concerning where we'll be in a few weeks and how the Governor will handle it.

At least we got a bit of snow last night.......

Doing the hybrid model here in Western Mass for a couple months, it sucks. Not really helping those who need it and it’s burning us edumacators out quickly. Feel like we are WW1 soldiers in the trenches and disposable.

Only bought an Indy Pass this year and that was too minimize the $$ loss that I’m anticipating this year. Touring setups ready to rock though.

Can’t see how ski areas can responsibly open to the masses at this point.

15º w/ light flurry action bob accumulating an inch or so. Looks like snowmaking is continuing on the upper mountain today w/3" of natural the last couple of days. Looks like "get fit" time is upon us with the current restrictions.

Another possible lockdown feeling like......

Love me some SOAD.

Long time lurker. An avid upstate NY towny. Got me some rookie backcountry setup for the Adirondacks because VT doesn't want me at the moment.

I'm going to start running socially distant, skin 2 win classes for the upcoming 6-8 week lock down where we all rage for bc turns

I asked Ikon why Killington lists skiing on the Parking App for this weekend, but you can’t book- not a good sign...

I checked this morning and Stowe reservations were still available for opening day and thanksgiving. I thought they all would have sold out yesterday.

I caught a shark on Election Day and torqued my ankle a bit too hard so I’ve been taking it easy. I’m starting PT tomorrow so hopefully no serious dent in the season.

Strong work out there!

Damn, hope the PT works quickly.

solid indeed.

ha! you reminded me of the episode when the kidnapped kid, at linc's urging, used the word 'solid' describe how he was doing talking to his parents on the phone - as to signal that linc was with him, posing as part of the kidnap gang...

thanks for unearthing that ancient memory ;0]

snow depth looks seriously legit, tele or not

^^ hey fussy D

[FussyDutchman]

What's happening Bucket, hope to see you a few times this season!

[buckethead]

indeed though doubtful that can happen in VT in the short (or not-so-short term)
hoping for lots of snow and a persistent snowpack all over the NE!

Even eyore was right and poo was wrong. Once.

“Online ski chat rooms and social media erupted with rumors and angst, including worries that ski areas might not open at all.“
