Harvey gets the "brevity is the soul of wit" award for the mask summary...well done! It seems that everyone has one grievance or another these days.
Moving back on topic, how do you all think the upcoming ski season will be affected by the current state of the covid situation? I am looking at two weeks in VT (Jan 24 - Feb 5) as a reward for never ending 60+ hours/week of work and expected AirBNB prices to be way down but it seems that they are actually higher this year. Was planning on one week for family (wife, kids, grand kids, etc.) and one week for just the guys...not sure if my budget can handle it now that I've seen the prices. Clearly there is already a high demand despite the predicted worker shortages at the resorts.
On a darker note, I'm afraid that cases/deaths will spike to astronomical record levels this Winter so it may be a mostly X-C season for the second year in a row. I do love X-C and it's a great workout but it's not downhill. Fortunately I'm wrong at least 1/2 of the time so it's easily a 50-50 bet.
