Only place that's really on my bucket list at this point is Big Snow American Dream. Where else am I gonna ski, get barreled, and buy a cinnabon all in the same place on my birthday in august?

Going to try and make it to Blue Mountain in Palmerton PA next year, hopefully I can make it at least one time.

Unless you and Salty adopt, you aren't going to have kids.

So i went out for a drive yesterday to curb some boredom. Lots of traffic. I also saw people "visiting" for mothers day in my neighborhood, where as i didnt see this on Easter. There is some pretty crazy shit being circulated on the interweb, and i think that is playing a significant role in changing peoples minds on this thing. I dont think the stay at home order until June is going to be something most people are going to be willing to do. I saw something about Bucks County where they were saying the local PD would do nothing to stop anybody from opening their business, and they would be relying on the PSP to take care of that. So, i think if you read between the lines some, they were kinda saying, go ahead, open up, we wont be bothering you. Sadly, i dont think most people will be upholding social distancing or wearing a mask either. This ride could get pretty bumpy. Im gonna be a mask wearing, staying away from other people, doing curbside delivery kinda guy for the foreseeable future.

So are you saying we can't fit 7 again? 😀

the idea of forced isolation, not having to feel obligated to go to events or places i really don't want to go to, the complete social acceptance of drinking at any hour of any day and still being able to work is a dream come true. i don't care how long it goes on.

My plan was to pay all you fuckers back at the end of season party, but that didnt work out so well. just keep reminding me about it, ok? Dont let me forget.

Pukin in the notch, 4-6" by tomorrow AM.

'Monday'

I’m at 29, excluding backcountry adventures. I’ve had mostly the Epic and Ikon pass, so most of my mountain experience is with those. And, since I lived in Colorado .. I’ve hit up a lot of the Colorado mountains but my rankings is a mix of experience, crowds, distance, etc. I kind of love the ability to hop around to different resorts in places like Colorado and Utah. I’m a grad student for about 1 more week and was able to snag a student discount Ikon pass. Woot woot. So, ironically, I made a rough ski plan. Before I switch to Epic again, I want to hit up some of the other Ikon resorts. I plan to take 2’ish road trips, fly 1-2x to Colorado/Utah, and make 1 trip to somewhere new. ROAD TRIP to NEW resorts in 20/21 (if skiing is a thing) I want to hit the top 3 at least 1. Windham 2. Killington 3. Stratton 4. Loon 5. Sunday River 6.

Don’t eat the bat, please.

Some white ground cover today...in the form of hail.

True, I'd rather ski than not ski tho. Maybe open up an hour early for season pass holders? I don't know. Hopefully we can all do our part and we won't have to worry about any of it.

But then everyone in the line would be fuk’ed because we all know how that goes. Interesting, I’d never though Bo would be an essential worker but there ya go

that's child's play. start working from home and you'll end up forgetting when you showered last.

It's only recycling if there is a market for it. Unfortunately in certain situations the recyclables get tossed in a landfill because it's either much more expensive to recycle it or there is no recycling capacity at the time. I met a guy who worked for one of the big trash firms and I was shocked to learn that.

Wow you can just throw your stuff in the dumpster at my hotel house.

Always.

Right, thanks for taking the time to clarifying that. Its sort of why i didnt list whistler with Telluride and Taos. Next time i will make it super clear for you.

I like that tp4 knows what impatiens are.

Did social distancing Mother’s Day today. I was at a table outside with my parents, my aunt was 6 ft away At a separate table, and then my grandparents were on the screened in porch at a third table

lol Karen just had to get her new fucking blouse.

Great weekend to get out for a ride! Anything planned yet?

The winter of Moe continues.

Saves water and shampoo.

I’m glad I’m not the only one who likes to get drunk in the morning.

I’ve been wearing the same shirt two days in a row.

There will never be testing like that, and testing is still incredibly limited. There still are not enough tests. Edit: I realize you weren't asking me but I answered anyway. Carry on.

Speaking of which, here are today’s numbers (albeit Monday #’s). Good trends but means squat without universal testing

Yeah, it should be self-sort and dispose to limit anybody being exposed to others. I'm glad recycling is still continuing here. We produce a lot more recycling than garbage. I could have garbage pick-up once a month and still have plenty of room in the can.

one thing truly pissing me off about all of this is that the trash/recycling center won't take my damn recyclables. i had to start taking full trash bags to my garage a while ago since the shed was no longer big enough. then i'll prob have to make multiple trips with them when they do open. then i'll have to wait behind 20 boomers who will hand sort their recyclables in front of me, rather than doing it at home. damn it.

@tarponhead I wanna drink tonight what’s the magic word??

Vote

pretty much everyone is taking it more seriously than here.

stay classy PA https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2020/05/10/pennsylvania-rep-jones-held-meeting-150-defying-covid-19-orders/3105755001/?fbclid=IwAR1k1nJMcsglnUudtYZ8ErNXKZB0HZROv565hQJrtLtLQ8B6H0XsUEmuCEQ

Places will be open...that’s many months away...but I think next ski season will be herky jerky..Blue might even close certain days due to a chance of rain.

Props! Most people dont. Cross contamination is a whole section in our handbook.

I just don't get the hypocrisy of all these politicians, etc. They tell everyone to wear masks, social distance, quarantine for 14 days, yet hardly any were wearing masks before this, and now "modified quarantine". Where's Trump's and the chiefs of staff's masks? Mandated to come in to work?

That’s awesome, I try to get a pint glass and / or stemless wine glass from everywhere I go- was bummed this past winter when jay didn’t have either.

What's high on my list? Revelstoke and Silverton. Ski resorts have to offer something unique and interesting on or off the hill to make me want to come/return. Silverton certainly checks the on hill box.

Planes AND trains. Pretty neat information here about the LVRR that ran under runways.

Tadpoles on the pool cover

I see what you did there

My facemask blew out of my pocket today on a bike ride. So I just held a paper towel to my face when I stopped in Staples.

They opened up Sandy Hook! Fished 6AM to 1 pm. Got bupkis but not the point. First time out this year! Temps were 37F when I started and 64f when I knocked it off. Winds were crazy.

Yes ... A tradition we started on our first trip out West. 37 years ago. Our goal was to ski the "top 30" ski resorts in the West, as voted on by the readers of Ski Magazine. Our trip to Whitefish completed the goal. We also tried to ski many of the lesser known areas too. A few didn't have coffee mugs either so we would include their maps in resorts from the same trip.... Cooper for example. Also in that image is our "log book" which is filled with most of our trips to TLCITW as well as our many trips out West...

The month of June is going to be really bad across the country.

You all need some serious aluminum foil hats.
