2 resorts on the east coast (Berkshire East and Catamount) are shutting down for the season. Both of these resorts are in Berkshire county MA where there's been a crazy outbreak so this kind of seems appropriate.

But do you think we'll see larger resorts start to do the same? This seems like this could have a pretty big financial impact on the ski industry.

BST_PoliceThis is complete and utter bullshit. Just close down the facilities and run the chairs with two people per chair, or 1 if a double. Ski resorts, outside of the facilities are probably one of the lowest likely places of transmission. The people skiing will likely be the core skiers only as all the jerries will be staying at home on their mounds of toilet paper. Sent a message to places asking about uphill travel; unlikely yes but worth a shot to ask.

Fuck vail. All they had to do was announce and then alterra followed suit. It's like all the ski resorts are giant fucking sheep. This federal stimulus bill didn't help either. All it did was provide the green light on places to close cuz they know now that they are getting funding.

Also gotta love seeing IKON and Epic ads online still. Fuck.


Vail made the responsible decision. If I lived near any major ski resort I wouldn't want people traveling from all over to my area. Just because this will have little affect on your body doesn't mean you shouldn't give a fuck about possibly spreading it.
If ia resort is on public land dont they have to allow uphill travel?

Trump said we could be living like this until July or August.

People will be lucky if they get to ski at Hood this summer.
