LOL @ the Karens worried about everyone else. If you are so worried, why not stay home where you are safe?

Do us all a favor and fuck off.

This is the most retarded thing I've ever read. It has nothing to do with your own personal safety, and I shouldn't have to spell out why. If you give a shit at all about skiing, just do your fucking job to help resorts not be the centers of super spreading.

How's the beginning of your season going at Snowpine SJG?

If that's actually the attitude of employees up there, you guys will be unemployed by January. Good luck!

December 30th seems more believable at this point.

A friend took this at Alta today. Screw that.

It actually wasn’t bad at all. Got a little long before the lifts started spinning but not bad after that.

There are hundreds of thousands of vaccine doses already made, just waiting for approval to be used after testing. Results on efficacy of multiple vaccine are more encouraging than previously thought. https://abc7news.com/pfizer-vaccine-...speed/7912068/ that says pfizer hopes to have 50 million doses by the end of 2020, and that's just one of several apparently viable vaccines. somewhere between 1-200 million doses by january or february should make for a far more normal spring.

Yes, while I wouldn't say I'm confident, I feel my hope is not completely delusional.


Besides, I got a free ikon pass because this place fucking awesome and ya know what, ULLR just isn't going to play me like that.

FDA Approval expected on Dec 12/13th. Doctors and Nurses will start getting it the following week. Since these vaccines require 2 shots 4 weeks apart - 50 mill doses means only 25 million people in Dec. Then nursing homes etc. my guess is by the time average Joe gets it - it will be after April. and for us to get herd immunity - where we dont have to wear masks - we need at least 60-70% of the country vaccinated. Hope fully we get there by next ski season.

Did PC on Friday, Canyons Sat/Sun. Was pleasantly surprised at both. Lines fluctuated a bit, but not terrible, and most people I saw were masked and being responsible. Fingers crossed it lasts.

Skiing around Tahoe this weekend - will be interesting to see if the vibe is the same.

Yeah it wasn't bad at all. I got there at around 8;15, waited in the line and was probably chair 25 or something. Never waited in a line after that - sugarloaf was quick, small line when i got back to the base ann hour later.

Today, PC side was like skiing in NJ

[bigdude2468]

I did not ski today, heard the Wildcat lot with social distancing of cars was full by 9:15, is that true?

Yeah it was about 80%+ full at 8:45 when i got in the wildcat line. I got there at about 7:45 and it was about 1/3 full filling up quickly. more cars than i expected that early.

[bigdude2468]

What would an estimate of capacity be with spreading the cars out, 60%?

[Lone Star]

A friend took this at Alta today. Screw that.

Did he turn around 180 degrees and shoot a pic of the scene of absolute chaos on the other lift? Play Collins games win Collins prizes.

1350 spots give or take and about 66% of capacity is my guess between Albion and Wildcat.

I heard no less than a dozen emps asking which bar they were meeting up at after work. One was very excited about her new job at the Tram Club.

[Todds]

Was the rope tow running?

[schindlerpiste]

I have heard no stories about cars being stopped at the base of the canyon, or anywhere else in LCC today.

^Nope, i got up there around 810ish and there was still plenty of parking. To echo the reports above a little bit of a zoo at the start but people spread - out, once the lifts spun and felt organizational behavior was for the most part pretty good, actually reminded a few folks to put the masks up while in line and all were pretty cool about it.

I bought a couple of these buffs that worked like a charm for skiing today... https://buffusa.com/shop-buff/masks-...be-family.html

Conditions were pretty standard for early season, as a former VTer it felt like home haha.

[brutah]

Skiing is fun! Showed up around 145 and skied till 4. No lift lines and was snowing pretty good starting around 3(?)

Definitely gonna miss riding the lifts with strangers this season.

After the first chair it was a 2-3 minute wait to get back on.
The maze on Collins could be improved on but it wasn’t bad.
