Ski Resorts Panicking About Cold Weather

It would be cool if snow fall was spreading like a virus across the north east. That said I don't like how "spreading like a virus" is now a part of the popular lexicon. I prefer things spread like peanut butter, or perhaps nutella, I've actually found a website that annotates six things that spread positivity,

1. Laughter
2. Encouraging Words
3. Purpose
4. Optimism
5. Recognition
6. Helpfulness

Perhaps you should try spreading some of the above in your personal life.

Does anybody remember Laughter?
 
These new lifts are really sensitive and have a lot of problems. Our Chondola is closed a lot.

I can understand management not wanting to load them during extreme weather events.

With ski lifts and off road vehicles I think less is much more. Simplicity is often a beautiful thing.
 
Might be a good time to try some cross country or just go for a nice walk in the woods.
The rippin skinner at Song Wednesday said he was a Clarksonite. Just had on his Dad’s lightweight Asics shell for an outer layer.
When I talked to him he was under the snowgun at the top probably trying to cool off. I had on 4-5 layers counting the winter coat.
It was in the teens and a little breezy at the top.

The reality is people
like sno whose ass will be chapped about this will continue skiing, probably at places that closed today, albeit with a chip on his shoulder.

Some low info lower intermediate who had pre bought and wound up actually going might never go again. Especially if they have to get evac-ed, or even any experience any number of other more minor annoyances.

And situations can compound on days like today…..as a patroller on a day like this I was part of an accident response that took almost an hour from the person’s crash to their entry into the first aid room….due to bad intial info, miscommunication (this is pre cell phone saturation), complicated extraction, and skiing a remote pod where we needed a snowmachine ride back to main mountain. Patient was basically hypothermic at that point and several patrollers close behind.
