And that was the year he gave it up.

Anyone going to be around Colorado this weekend? ABasin partnered with Summit County Public Health and is offering walk-in vaccinations for a few hours on Sunday, May 16. There are 200 doses of 1-shot J&J available., first-come, first-served. Additional incentive is a free drink from ABasin.

Everyone who gets the vaccine at the free clinic will also get a free Bloody Mary, draft beer or soda.

In case anyone wasn't following, Killington no longer requires masks for vaccinated people. An important step towards a normal season next year.

Here's the latest about mask usage for ABasin as of May 16. Colorado vaccination rate is around 75% for Summit County and at least 60% around Denver, Boulder, and Colorado Springs. Eagle and Pitkin counties are around 70%, which is where Vail and Aspen are located.

The answer is 59M. Same as 18/19.

In looking at the health and safety rules at various ski resorts heading into summer, I believe the ORDA mountains are the only ones still requiring that vaccinated people wear masks outdoors. It was last updated after the state lifted the mandate, so this is intentional. I think this is absolutely absurd. It's far more restrictive than anything else I've found that is currently in effect. Are they trying to cater to hypochondriacs, or are they simply behind the times?

2018-19 was pretty good for snowfall, right? Is there any breakdown available? What would be interesting to see would be by Region and by Size. I think there were smaller ski areas/resorts that did very well with the increased midweek interest. Destination resorts that depend on travelers who fly may have been hit harder, at least in the first couple months of the season. For example Big Sky or Jackson Hole.
