@DouglasR Bon voyage, and keep Miss Corona to yourself!

There are Rx meds for the 'rona these days. Supposed to reduce symptoms and keep you more likely to not be hospitilized, especially for "higher risk" folks. Gotta get them going within a couple of days of onset of symptoms for best relief.

Some people just can’t handle summit county

You’re lucky that’s the only test you had to take after living in summit for a few months. Most people have to do the whole “test panel” at the end of the season.

When have you ever known me to actually push through a hunting season?

you guys remember when I skinned up to the top of excelerator with covid tho?
Nbd.

First world dilemma?

 

[DouglasR]

First world dilemma?

The bitch of it is I didn’t drink during the week the past 2 weeks and I’ve been taking 500mg of vitamin c and a multi vitamin everyday since I left home.

 

[DouglasR]

Nobody leaves this game unscathed.
I’ll be back.

 

[mountainlaurel3]

Heal up.

Need FOMO-inducing photos to power you through fixing the rig and getting back out here?

 

[elkduds]

How are you feeling, @DouglasR ?

 

[DouglasR]

How are you feeling, @DouglasR ?

Much better.
Just tested negative on an at home test.
Still got a pretty good hack, but not terrible.
Still can’t hear though and that’s super annoying

Copper’s Alpine Lot could charge for parking next season following a land use change by Summit County officials

The days of free parking at Copper Mountain Resort’s Alpine Lot could be numbered after Summit County officials agreed to a land use amendment for the site. During a Summit Board of County Commissioners meeting...

Half of your unwanted overnight guests are your employees because you’re not paying a livable wage...

When the boomer manager of operations wants to take a pic with your orientation class because he’s so proud that none of you are living in employees housing but he doesn’t realize that literally 50% of the class is living in their cars.

The overnight thing for your average skier in most large resorts is just a non-starter these days In CO. I certainly sympathize with your scenario and your co-workers, but it’s just not feasible at the big joints to allow camping.

From the article:

“Scott said the goals would be to reduce the number of “single-occupancy vehicles” and promote the use of the Summit Stage, the county’s free bus system.”

Seriously?! All the summit county resorts are heavily utilized by day-Skiiers, how is summit Stage an option If you’re not already living or staying nearby?

Whatever capacity you need to park cars at the resort would just need to be shifted to a need for the same capacity at multiple park and ride lots in Frisco/Silverthorne/Dillon. Which don’t currently exist. And those city planners (and residents) aren’t likely to support that. Plus you’d need all the current electronic signs on the freeway (and likely more) providing real time parking info as they fill up.

But all that being said, charging for parking is probably the right move, OTC skiing at popular places is going about as well with crowding as OTC bull tags In popular units. Preference points will be next

Will they cuck themselves out to the level of vail?

I realize I'm part of the problem, and I don't believe I'm long for the ski world. It gets less and less appealing every season. I've had a pretty good 35 year run of chasing powder when work allowed to being an instructor in highschool. Having said that, heading to Mammoth for a 4 day weekend...

 

[elkduds]

Any other instructor types on HT? I did it full time through the 80s, then weekends after that.

I just don’t understand how they have these long loft lines when they’ve got all these single occupancy vehicles taking up spots in the parking lot

Blow up those shuttle busses.
Never again

 

[Wildabeest]

Another 2+ft yesterday puts us over 800 inches for the season.
