Corona Virus, Mega Passes and crowds this weekend.....

[Boxtop Willie]

Bradford closed last Sunday

 

[Zand]

Ah ok lol. Even still I can't see Wachusett closing unless the state mandates it.

 

[drjeff]

Nashoba's already closed.

Based on how Nashoba looked from 495 as I was cruising past it last Sunday on my way home from New Hampshire, before the warmth of Monday and Tuesday, not so sure Nashoba's closing choice has anything to do with minimizing Corona Virus exposure risk to employees and guests...

OK,

I've done my weekly grocery shopping on Thursday afternoon for YEARS. I went today about 4PM, my normal time and could not get a shopping cart. People were chasing customer coming out of the store down to get theirs. I turned around and came home. I can go for a day or two without starving. I will head out tomorrow morning when most are at work and see how I fair. You could have sworn a mega blizzard was on the way with how people were behaving.

Governor Cuomo just ordered all events or gathering over 500 canceled. I assume that means most of the NY hills will be closed. Waiting to see I have 4 passes left for Gore to use.

Pond skim at roundtop PA cancelled mountain will be open through Sunday which was closing day anyway.

Snow is mostly shot anyways after this week

Pretty sure this order is for NY CITY only.

Mt. Abrahm done after this weekend, due to Virus concerns but also the rapid loss of snow.

I saw both gore and Belleayre announced reduced capacity on their lifts and in their lodges and the gondolas being closed for the rest of the season. I assume whiteface will probably say the same thing although I don’t follow them on Facebook.

From Gore FB
Hi Everyone, we are open during regular hours, with limited capacity. We will be operating with a 50% density reduction applied within our indoor facilities. The Northwoods Gondola will be closed for the remainder of the season as of the end of the ski day on Friday, March 13th. All lifts and the seating capacity on lifts will also be controlled. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding, and any further updates will be posted to our website as they become available.

Was thinking about going skiing this weekend but with conditions looking bad and the fact that I work and live near Boston, aka the Hub of coronavirus, it's only a matter of time until I get it, or start showing symptoms if I have it already.

I don't wanna be that guy that gets Vermont infected so I'll pass. It's crazy here in Mass. Today it went to over 100 confirmed cases. I'm honestly afraid for everyone here. Wish I lived in Maine where there are no cases.

 

[BenedictGomez]

driving to vermont in my private vehicle and skiing outside alone all day sounds a lot safer than hanging around this petri dish.

BINGO

Which is why, "closing down all life" is more of a politician's C.Y.A. tool than an actual healthcare protocol.

It's a very esoteric topic, but I saw experts on both CNBC & Fox Business discuss this when Italy basically closed everything, and both of their opinions is it will have a very incremental benefit if at all. Makes sense to me.

No reported cases in Maine, I am sure there are unreported cases of Corona in Maine

Yeah, it’s a lot easier to say it’s not spreading when you don’t test for it much.

I was just going to say this.
