Where have you been? The no politics rule went out the window months ago!
Because of very few people in charge of that enforcement wise.

Another reason to get an Ikon pass:

Sucks for our Mexican brothers and sisters. Glad I was at A-Basin and WP over the same period.
Are you honestly on here trying to defend Trump and this administration's actions? Or are you just arguing about semantics over whether or not he called the whole thing a Democratic hoax?Well you're certainly not going to "convince" me of a partisan political fraud which has already been copiously debunked.
trump just ripped a reporter a new asshole for asking what the message should be to people who are scared. he's such a douche.
Meanwhile, back on topic.....
Vail has ordered its employees in company housing to leave immediately. Seems pretty clear that ski season is over for them.
Austrian ski town is another nexus of contamination:

When I was in CO, I skied at Eldora, A-Basin and WP (I have an Ikon pass). If I had skied at Keystone, Breck and Vail, I think I would have had a higher chance of getting CV-19. Why? The proportion of out-of-state skiers is higher at the Vail resorts than the Ikon resorts, AFAIK.
I saw a Bloomberg article on a bunch of wealthy Mexicans getting it at Vail this morning. It should come up with a quick Google search.I’m actually aware of a New Hampshire resident that tested positive following a ski trip to Austria.
Is your Ikon vs Vail claim simply anecdotal?

I'm sure they are. I certainly don't have stats on where people come from when they visit resorts.I saw that article also. Just curious as it seems plenty of Ikon areas are destination resorts. Shit, I was at Steamboat in January and Italy in September but I haven’t been sick in I don’t know how long.

Unless you drove and slept in your own car,, brought your own prepackaged food and wore and N95 mask the whole time while following stringent hygiene practices, odds are you were potentially exposed to it even if you didnt go to a Vail mountain, especially if you traveled on a plane or used public transportation
Vail has mentioned in their filings of expected losses that they will be reconsidering all the announced lift installs for next season. Can't imagine they are the only ones. To me, the only lift installs likely to be unaffected financially anyway might be the HSQ and T-Bar and Saddleback. But who knows if Arctaris cut the check already or if they may be in less of a position to make the investments. Given they opened pass sales, I'll lean that they will be ok.
