The plus side to being forced to stay home, is all the time I’ve had to help the new dog adjust to her surroundings. She’s not the first rescue dog I’ve had but she has definitely adapted the fastest and seems to like her new living arrangements

Abasin is toying at the idea of opening later this spring. They’ve been grooming to preserve snowpack http://arapahoebasin.blogspot.com/2020/03/grooming.html?m=1

Doug, you spend zero time doing anything outside. When is the last time you were in a state park?

Grocery shopping

Your a nurse?! Stay safe and thank you!

Looks like they’re gonna get a clue and close Tuckerman’s because of all the idiots... https://snowbrains.com/tuckerman-ravine-nh-will-likely-close-to-all-backcountry-access-tomorrow-due-to-overcrowding/

Who is that?

Ok, Doug.

Which allows Health care workers to keep rocking. Cool beans all around

I can't watch him anymore....or the media.....There are a couple of good interviews with Dr. Fauci floating around You Tube..I feel he pretty much tells it like it is.....

We try to keep them out of the PASR row except for Root

No, it means I’m aware of what coded language is

Colorado too. News showed tons of cars again at Berthoud Pass yesterday. For the love of God, just stop and take a pause. Heard there was a sheriff at East Portal TH turning skiers away. I really don’t get the, “Everyone else is stuck inside but I am gonna get out and ski because I am special” mentality. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It's absolutely infuriating. Instead of locking down counties after it expands. PROACTIVELY lock down the whole state. I'm getting really fucking frustrated with Pennsylvania's lack of a response.

I can't believe how many people are not taking it seriously. It really is sad.

Pa State parks should seriously consider charging a small entry fee for out of state vehicles.

I haven’t been in a store in about a week and a half. Went today. They seem to really be spacing people out in line, however, didn’t limit number of people in the store. I was surprised how many people had masks on... that weren’t covering their noses. I didn’t wear gloves or a mask, just washed my hands when I got home, which I always did anyway.

Well, I'm working on joining the touring crew. Deals have too good to pass up. Picked up some Lange XT Free 130 LVs which are considerably lighter than my RS130s, have a tour mode (more cuff movement), and have tech inserts. Also, picked up Atomic (Salomon) Shift bindings which are a tech pin binding on the way up, and a true alpine toe/heel on the way down. They're going to be mounted on some Kastle FX96HPs in 180cm. It's not the lightest setup in the world, but all 3 pieces are compromises towards increase downhill performance. It will certainly be the lightest ski/binding/boot combo by far in my quiver. I'll get some skins sometime between now and next year. Also need to get them mounted.

I wasn’t worried about this initially, I’m not one to panic immediately. And I’m very distrustful of the media. Mainstream and otherwise. But I did take all the recommendations seriously, hand washing, stay away from crowds- but I practice social distancing when there isn’t a pandemic 🙂. I’m hoping 30+ years of people coughing in my face has given me a great immune system.

Yes, we got an email saying to use the N95 mask for multiple patients and several days, unless visibly soiled. We are to put it in our brown paper bag when we’re not using it. We have 4 dedicated covid rooms, expectation is one nurse can care for all 4! I’m like WTF, if all 4 are seriously ill, how can one person do that. I said something, but was ignored.

He does. It’s nice having an adult in the room

It is infuriating that he is accusing healthcare providers of stealing supplies when they are forced to use the same mask for an entire shift or even longer. But enough bitching about him. Stay home and with as few people as possible.

My mom is sending me a mask she made. This is what a hospital CEO said. Stupid. Scary is she has 78,000 followers.

No, white flight from Queens and the Bronx seems to be most of the transplants. In my case flight from Bloomfield, NJ. Listening to Donnie and my blood pressure is skyrocketing. Head of St Luke’s gave a press conference earlier, and said that half the Covid patients in his hospitals in Monroe county are from out of state and they are not counted in the county totals (135 today).

Cramming into cars. Assholes.

Guy on the right.

Got it! I will let him know.

So, when someone mentions “new yorkers” you assume they mean blacks, browns, and puerto ricans? asking for a friend.

Front platers.... wow that’s a new one.

I’m aware NYCers fucked up pocono country place. I’ve done my googles. It’s just funny to me that everyone blames nyc for pocono crime when in reality it’s mainly white trash. It’s just easier to blame the black and brown people. Those aren’t Puerto Rican’s up in green town and gouldsboro. Don’t recall seeing any black folks around wallenpaupack either.

Assholes

I know you are the expert on pocono crime and drugs, And new york for that matter, but new yorkers fucked up APCP. Look it up. Nobody said new yorkers fucked up all of the poconos.

Evidently the people in the Poconos can't stay away from one another... https://www.mcall.com/coronavirus/mc-nws-coronavirus-stluke-poconos-20200329-zjj2oxbqvbcafeu27qartqezv4-story.html

I always found it funny that New Yorkers get blamed for the Poconos crime when a vast majority of the crime is from locals born and raised in the Poconos. The amount of heroin up there is amazing. Lake Ariel and green town are like Kensington jr’s

Probably not a financially viable solution to crowds. They have to the have the facilities and personnel to monitor and collect all those fees. Some state parks have so many access points that it would be almost impossible.

I ride past there all the time. I’m always surprised how busy the boat launch parking lot is...filled with non-PA plates. They do have a nice restroom, though 😃

My roommate is a cop so for the time being we’ve set up what is essentially a “decontamination” station in our garage (detatched) for when he comes home from work, shoes, belt, kevlar vest, etc stay in the garage and get sprayed, everything else gets put into a bag and hand washed immediately, inside of the car gets Lysol wiped down, all computer keys get cleaned, door handles cleaned, etc. it’s about an hour and a half worth of work AFTER someone comes home from a minimum 12 hour shift... and yet people still aren’t taking social distancing seriously

pretty much the same exact photo location now:

Mid to late 60s based on the cars? I believe the trestle came down in 68 so probably just before then.

Im about to start making sanitizer from our pressure washing bleach. Got plenty of that.

That’s why I shop at Trader Joe’s these days. They only allow a few people in the store at a time. Line is 20-30 min but everyone 10’ + apart and my local TJs sells booze to (win!) Be safe all. By the way, I’m completely hammered now ... [emoji1782][emoji89][emoji1783]

Maybe we'll have to do some touring in your familiar zones before Telluride next year

The year we got no other snow except for one random dump in October. Great stuff! I've finally uploaded the full walk around:

i have about another 3 weeks before i need to get worried about this, but its my understanding "landscapers" are essential, which makes 0 sense to me. I saw guys mulching in the development down the street. Essential my ass.

Trumps finance secretary has a hot wife and David Geffen is flexing at the wrong time.

And the Darwin Award goes to... https://www.barstoolsports.com/blog/2181307/youtuber-who-licked-a-toilet-seat-for-the-coronaviruschallenge-tests-positive-for-corona-virus

Head of Saint Luke’s also took the attitude is that we welcome people from NY, NJ and Philadelphia for their contribution to the Pocono economy and we need to take care of them now.

Wow https://www.westernjournal.com/kathy-griffin-tried-cut-line-covid-test-turns-diarrhea-mexico-trip/?fbclid=IwAR1pqIJGOjdljeRIywgTVdUEZd2lSXHn2diYrnunnzdETEZeZeibDVDXsqI

No worries, it took one month to go from the first COVID death to the 1000th and 48 hours to go from 1000 to 2000. It’s alllll under control.
