Had a sneaky great day following the sun. Skied like today was the last day and it was good. Had a blast!

To bad but closing is the right thing to do.

Well it’s a good thing I own touring equipment... But very unclear note. Doesn’t say when closing begins. IF it will end (Vail is closing 3/15-22) or if employees will be paid for those next 8 days (Bravo to Vail for this). https://www.alterramtnco.com/news/2020/03/14/alterra-mountain-company-closure-announcement.html

I dunno, I just heard on twitter that RASTA was suspending all lift and food service operations in the Brandon Gap.

I didn’t see that before my previous post. I though closing Monday or Tuesday was good.

So, Bush not open tomorrow?

Does the closure affect the the uphill policy too? Don’t wanna be a rule breaker but...I don’t want to be done yet.

It would appear no...

[FONT=&quot]Alterra Mountain Company will suspend operations at our 15 North American ski resorts, starting the morning of Sunday, March 15, until further notice. All lift operations, food and beverage, retail and rental services will be closed until further notice.

Correct. Per the announcement. Although nothing yet on the sugarbush website. So, but for reading this forum, I’d have no idea sugarbush will apparently be closed tomorrow...

Im guessing Win is scrambling the team now. Assuming we will see something from Win or SB shortly.

 

[WWF-VT]

Damn...I only skied until 3 today figuring they might have called it done after tomorrow

 

[cdskier]

Definitely didn’t expect a closure in the middle of the weekend once everyone was already here...

Why do I have a sense that Win is on the phone with Alterra right now.....

It's just time to go back to the old days. Park car, put boots on in parking lot, head to lift, ski, brown bag in car. The only "communal" activity is going to the bathroom.

Wow, what a bummer. Would have been nice if Sunday was the last day of lift service.

I completely understand the policy and decision. I really hope this thing is not as bad as they are say it could be. Everyone on the zone, please stay healthy!

Hah! But you know the parking lot will be full there.

I’d say uphill is a VERY safe social distance. See ya on the skin track! (My response is only my opinion!)

This is nuts. Just stepped outside my condo and there are mutiple cats on the hill. So this was quick. Skinning time. And we'll have some groomed runs.

Thought of that. And they have the social distancing advantage with the single. But it will be packed with sb closed. Skin sunday, mrg mon if still open.

Skinning season starts early. Glad to hear there’ll be one last day of cord.

Now the safest chair out there. There goes the plethora of mad cards on Front Porch Forum!

Would sort of be cool if all resorts closed in north america except MRG running only the single with basebox closed.
