I was pretty shocked at how much snow actually stuck to the roads since it was 80 yesterday. It was gone as soon as the snow let up at all, but still.

Razzled posted:As a non co native I didn’t enjoy it. It was icy and windy and I’m told it’s usually like that. This was on a day when summit county resorts were getting 6+ inches. Yeah, Eldora isn't great. I end up there a lot though since it's only an hour drive for me versus the 2 it takes to get to anywhere else provided the road conditions are good.

I think I'm finally gonna make it out tomorrow. I was hoping to have a better winter wheel set for my car, but the roads already look doable and what I have should work. Of course I had some friends come out and go to keystone this year when I only grabbed the ikon pass. At least I can use a buddy pass to knock the price down a little.

I looked at traffic at like 10 o'clock last night and 70 was just solid red all the way to the tunnel. As always, I'm glad I work weekends.

Didn't wait more than 3 min at breck for a lift today. I think we're at the point where it's just too loving expensive for even remotely regular people to do. Prices on everything are going up while wages aren't and eventually you have to stop buying ski passes to feed your kids.

ironlung posted:Some of these pics coming out of Vail are loving ridiculous. If I worked normal days/hours and had to even somewhat regularly sit in I-70 traffic for 4+ hours and then sit in 2+ hour lift lines I'd stop snowboarding. Hell, I don't go enough as it is because it's already a 2 hour drive to any of the I-70 resorts if the road conditions are good

Plank Walker posted:How worried should I be about altitude sickness? Flying from east coast into Denver and staying in Winter Park for 4 nights and googling "altitude sickness" has me convinced I'm going to get 0 hours of sleep and my heart is going to explode. It hits everyone differently but I wouldn't be too worried. Take it easy and drink a shitload of water like the other person said. Think you've had enough water? Wrong, drink more.

KoRMaK posted:I'm at copper all this week, Monday to Friday. If a goon wanna get at me, please, just post and lemme know. I got dms too If I make it out I'll hit you up. I have to deal with a speeding ticket and my car will be in the shop getting the rear bumper replaced this week so I'm not sure if I do. It partially depends on what I get as a rental. I guess almost anything would be technically better than my car in snow, but it does more than fine with good winter tires.

 This goes out after people have been fleeing like rats on a sinking ship for the last 2 days. There have been flights pumping out of Aspen and Eagle all day. Colorado is going to be a huge vector for the spread of it.

spwrozek posted:I saw that earlier today and instantly thought of you. It was just stupidly predictable. I wonder if the flights still going in and out of Aspen and Eagle actually have people on them taking it back wherever they're going? Flights are obviously significantly down but there are still private jets and airliners doing their thing.

ironlung posted:Sounds like they have some pretty strict rules in place and with a few simple tweaks to normal operations it would be very easy to stay 6ft apart while skiing. Do you think we should just stay inside forever? I have zero expectation of people following the rules and less than high expectations of them actually being enforced. You can already find a million videos of people asses to elbows in areas where social distancing is theoretically still being enforced, it won't be any different here.

Eejit posted:Aspen is going to hit 50% lodging occupancy this week if all the current bookings check in. I reckon travel is going to be on the table sooner than later. Whether or not that travel is responsible is a whole other question. I'm sure looking forward to a few new viral clusters popping up near me! Air traffic into Aspen and eagle has been up significantly too. Still not normal amounts but a lot more private jets than there were my last work days.

Can't you push this years ikon pass back to the following year? I'm pretty sure that's what finally sold me on grabbing mine. I'll just wait a while to see how things pan out before using it.

spwrozek posted:Don't worry. Next week they will add level 2.875, then 2.9375, then 2.96875... Yup. There's no stomach to actually do anything beyond shutting down indoor dining and putting ineffectual restrictions on gathering sizes, especially since there's not going to be any sort of government stimulus getting thrown around any time soon. Thanksgiving and Christmas haven't even happened yet either and those are just going to make everything worse.
