DIRTYBUBBLENeither countries’ hospitals are overloaded and they’re going to achieve herd immunity in weeks. And they’re not fucking over their populace. We are going to have to deal with multiple waves of infections because we’re never going to build up immunity.

Define herd immunity, since you're such an expert.

ScaryDumpTruckI hope it doesn't rain

Yea that would suck. Still gonna fuckin hike tho I ain't (too) scared of no rain

ScootSkiLyfePretty sure most would go under at that point.

Thats just not true buddy

skiindianaHerd immunity is defined as an R0 less than or equal to 1 (an infected person only infects 1 person or fewer). At that point an infection cannot grow exponentially. That is somewhere between 20-80% depending on the source.

If you believe the optimistic number we're already at herd immunity in a lot of places.

We need at least 70%, more likely 90% with something like this. So no, we aren't at herd immunity anywhere. Or even close.

It’s official, they’re opening Friday. Stoked to get on a lift again and just rip some turns, any sort of park is bonus at this point.

really really hoping people can play by the rules and not ruin it for everyone, I could see them being forced to close if people are careless/selfish

If you see people not following the rules, please say something to them. This goes for everyone. We want to keep skiing.

Really hoping it all works out and I can move back out to OR.

Yea I rly hope ppl are smart and respectful and don’t overcrowd the resort on the first day. It’d be so ass if they were forced to shut down again

It's gonna be a reservation system :(

brett_fisherIt's gonna be a reservation system :(

Kinda wack that pass holders need a reservation but it’s for the greater good. I’m sure there are a TON of pass holders especially spring pass holders since it’s like $150.

Hopefully they can find a good balance of a safe amount of people on the mountain

No parks yet😭

Damn straight. If someone isn't following the guidlines I am going to be ticked off. Everyone has cameras and Timberline has the right to revoke your privleges so Fing behave if you go. I for one will be masked and goggled up all day and giving people a good 10 ft just to be safe. Also plan to drive solo with no stops on the way there or back. Be good my friends we got this!

OregonDeadAlso plan to drive solo with no stops on the way there or back

this is the most important aspect IMO. I also plan on going up with zero stops but thats incredibly easy cuz its just 6 miles from Govy, I recognize not many have that option and theres def gonna be people crossing multiple state lines to ski. Obviously its not hard to socially distance when you're actually on hill, but the travel to get to Hood will inevitably cause covid spread with people gassing up/stopping at restaurants/bathrooms etc...if people cut out all stops unless absolutely necessary, and take proper precautions when doing so, we can lessen the impact that Timberline re-opening will cause with its ripple

So almost a month in. How does everyone on the mountain feel about the precautions being taken by Timberline? I feel like the country in general has gotten a bit more relaxed but I'm curious, as someone who would have to travel by plane to go skiing, what the general vibes are like up there.

Also are reservations still going quick?

Reservations no longer needed, I’ll be up later this week hopefully

This is the current park setup. Also 2 jumps on 1 knuckle after it, 30 and 15 feet. The vibes were so good up there yesterday. It was warm and sunny and everyone from the wy’east academy kids to Alex Hackle was up there hiking or lapping the park. The lift ticket was a pain though at 75$

The summer pass price is just fucked 900 just not worth it eitherway

Obama_careThe summer pass price is just fucked 900 just not worth it eitherway

it's been $900 since at least 2015 was the first time I checked, probably years before that too, so they didn't do any covid price gauging. From Timberline's perspective: where else are you going to ski in June-September?

I feel like if they sold them for 450 or something they would get over double the sales meaning more money

Yea dude I’d be all over the summer pass if it was 450

Normal summer it is already way too crowded though. Unfortunate but I think they are maximizing it already

Anyone know if the rope tow park is actually opening on Monday like it says on the timberline website?

abar.Anyone know if the rope tow park is actually opening on Monday like it says on the timberline website?

My homie that works for T-line was posting videos of them getting the rope going so I’d assume yes

Is anyone gonna be posted up in Govy at the airstrip this summer?

the park is unreal, felt so good to get out skiing the other day

It was super crowded yesterday, lots of people in the old windells lane (More than the most crowded sessions of previous summers), but the pro park had very few people. The jumps are super fun and the rail setups are getting better. There are many teams and camps packed into the beginner and intermediate area, so I can't wait to watch Hargrave fail just like he did at We Are Camp. He ruined that place (Windells and HCSC) and he is sure to ruin Bimberline.

I don’t have the summer pass but I’ve heard people saying it’s $25 extra per day to ride the pro park? Like fuck that, I’m sure most people just ski in and the rope workers are chill with it but damn

anyone know the camp schedules? does anyone do like a day off on Sunday or anything?

google elasticity of price/demand

considering going for the weekend but worried crowds will be absurd

big vibes to the homie who broke his leg on the jump today, that looked so gnarly and seemed like a very unfortunate gust of tailwind

I think I saw that. Dub 14 to the bottom of the big jump ?

It seemed packed today even

Hoping to get out next week to ski but can't afford/don't want to buy day tickets.

Are they checking at Palmer if I hiked up there and just lapped the lift?

How chill 0-10 would it be to hike Public Park? #publicparkarmy

In the same position brother. I hiked up yesterday along the climbers trail trying my best to avoid being spotted by lift ops. Got to Palmer at like 1:45pm so pretty much last chair. People had been telling me that they werent checking for passes at Palmer but this guy instantly asked for my pass. I tried to keep my cool and explain I had left it on my vest in the park or sum but he wasn’t having it, luckily the homie working next to him vouched for me, but I have no clue who the guy was that said i was cool to go up. Shouts to that kid. But that kinda bummed me out for the rest of the day.

I’d say your best bet is to just hike all the way up to the pro park, rumor has it they don’t check for passes after 1:30 but I was tweaking about the lift op so I just hiked the rails. Pretty much everyone is hiking anyways since it’s mad crowded

If you are going to hike up, make sure to hike to the Pro park or old windells lane and get on the handle tow. They have been watching people hike uptown palmer and know when you don't have a pass (Duncan Pollard, EP's uncle knows every time when one the homies does not have a ticket and will call you out/ call the clacksamas sheriffs). The FTC opens to the public at 1:30, so you don't have to upgrade but you only get an hour an a half of riding the tow. In addition, you can ski right around the park entrance and no one will say a world to you unless its Tyler or Weasel.
