Coronavirus and Skiing

[MC2]

All these people taking care of their own are blowing up the economy again. Seems like if you won't get vaccinated you should stay out of public places. These people itn TV that didn't get vaccinated and are advocating for it now in their hospital beds annoy me.

Britain's Chief Scientific Adviser Patrick Vallance said that 60% of people being admitted to hospital with COVID-19 are unvaccinated, correcting an earlier statement he made on Monday.

??? So 40% have???
Having been vaccinated this doesn’t exactly inspire a lot of confidence. Variant or not

Obviously I’m not. I don’t want that crap coming here last thing the politicians need is an excuse to lock down again.

$15/hour is looking like the new normal for pay at destination ski resorts. Pretty sure that's the amount Vail Resorts announced a month ago. Sugarbush is owned by Alterra and announced that as the base rate going forward.

That doesn't send a good message regarding this coming winter. How am I supposed to think that they will load the lifts normally now?

Ya must have heard of new normal.
With Togg being closed hopefully Pete spins more lifts at the other 2 to make up for it.

You must not have heard of the majority of resorts who now have no mention of covid anywhere on their websites. If "new normal" means restricted lift capacity and forced masking, then I'm not willing to accept that. I'm not surprised ORDA is going that route as they seem to never miss an opportunity to make the experience less fun. I'll just ski somewhere else.

Checked SKICNY and Greekpeak and they both mention the vid, so there’s that.
No need to check Togg as they ain’t opening.
Most likely not gonna go anywhere else, unless there’s place(s) & day(s) I can’t refuse.
