Snowmaking on Burma to which I was surprised to see

I have a research scientist friend who is developing a therapeutic treatment to eliminate the spread of the virus in a person's body, once infected. Essentially attacking the disease on the molecular level. His process effectively constructs a wall around the diseased cells not allowing them to infect any other cells within the body. His process focus was originally designed to attack cancer cells, but since March his team has turned their attention to fighting Covid 19. Last week they began limited clinical trials in Singapore, his main research center. This man is a genius and I fully expect him to win a Nobel prize someday. His company name is Hummingbird Bioscience and was featured on CNBC last weekend.

I’ll text barb green and let her know you’re free.

I can't imagine being a skier on this board who is stoked to get on snow and then declining to go skiing because it is only vista.

It could depend. If you are at a BLM protest or a Trump rally and its outside with the wind blowing and the sun's UV rays shining, I feel okay about that compared to being across the dinner table from a spit talker in an unventilated room. Edit: of course wearing a mask in the protest/rally scenario.

I hate to the the nihilist in the room, but come on. None of this matters. We can slow it with restrictions but we can't stop it. We can lock down, drop the numbers, feel good about it and then they will spike again. We are talking about something that went from one small area in China to the entire world in the span of a few months. If this virus had a motto it would be "Can't stop won't stop". A vaccine will take years to get this under control and there is nothing we can do. We are just animals stuck to a big spinning ball we can't really get off of and sometimes things kill off a bunch of us for no real good reason. Once you kick back and realize we are all just along for the ride it starts to feel less bumpy.

This is nothing but hearsay. Consider the source.

It's snowing at Elk. The guns are in position and the West Slope chair is running......

Both sides are equally as guilty. /thread

I think this round of restaurant shutdowns will actually be useful from a data perspective. We will get a chance to see if cases drop due to the restrictions or not. I would hypothesize that most of the transmission is happening at private gatherings and not public spaces. The thing that really sucks is that we don't have enough data on what's going on to make decisions. The smart and "follow the science" thing to do is to run a multiple regression analysis with the independent variable being number of cases and find the coefficients and statistical significance of all of the dependent variables, which are the things that you want to implement and/or shut down. In the absence of that we are taking educated guesses and shooting into the wind with policy choices.

Damn, we’re going to miss you!

Open with whatever they have on Easy Out/Vista for Saturday. Show Vail who is king 😂

They laid down a fairy decent amount so far. No whales yet but a nice bit of white covering the grass. Not ironically I was in a really good mood when I was there.

it must suck to suck @GrilledSteezeSandwich

Ya, because the crap guns on EO/Vista are exactly that ... crap.

Depends what they are talking about, but yes sometimes I do.

Would be a major flex opening Easy Out / Vista this weekend. They could if they lined both sides of EO/Vista with real guns, not those budget fan guns.

I'll never understand why they only have ~10 guns on homestretch. That is THE trail they need to get open before anything else and they usually have less production there than anywhere else with those crappy yellow guns. Line that trail on both sides and get that shit open with the vista lift asap.

I think Burma will open earlier than normal this year, possibly with the first pod to open. I conjecture that they know it’s a shit show when people show up for the open and get over their heads in Midway/Main because Vista isn’t enough, and they wanted a green Root to the doubledouble from jump street. The upgraded guns are supposed to be able produce in more marginal conditions, use less resources and be fully automated, right? I know an earlier Burma isn’t super exciting to us, but if it keep the Jerry mass off Midway/Main I’m all for it.

you can put me on the vaccine list as well. When it comes right down to it though, i will take my guidance on the vaccine from the people i know in the medical field, not Google, or Yahoo.

I went to the doctor the other day. He said son...you have reggaemylitis.

Have you watched Letterkenny? That shit’s hilarious. It’s on Hulu. Or pirated. I watched it one of those two ways.

I already have. As I said, there is nothing left cool to see, I have seen all the internet has to offer

Yes but it's a different league and they play on Tuesdays and Fridays so no conflict with skiing.

Belle blowing as of yesterday.

Lol it spreads at home with a small group of family but not in crowds of tens of thousands lol. Don’t pee on my leg and tell me it’s raining

Yeah, I didn't see many wearing masks during the last round of peaceful protests in Philadelphia either. All the yelling and spitting into each others faces. Definitely deserves a big wall around the entire city. NJ was rather relaxed during summer time, no doubts about it, but then again PA wasn't too far behind. I remember July or August at Dutch Springs. There were some stupid rules instituted like spraying tanks with soapy water, but people lived their lives, half didn't wear masks, though all were clearly distancing from each other as much as possible.

If the law is enforced, absolutely. Otherwise I'll see on the mountain. I don't have other local passes or even the usual PA card this year, but I've got the ORDA card, so if things really go south, will stick to Belleayre or night skiing at MC. This is getting old however, and the lawmakers got way out of hand. There has to be a limit to this insanity.

🚨🚨 Guns on! 🚨 🚨

Thanks for the reminder. Don't forget to call @toast21602 on the telly-phone to tell him too.

Maybe the magical faries will sprinkle pixie dust on the snow guns to magically put out enough snow in order to make that happen.

I am available to ski Saturday if they care to open

I’d be in a better mood if the forecast was good but I’m in a pretty good mood..

+++++VIBES+++++

Im not to concerned. Just sucks that its happened. I have maybe 2 brief conversations with him a day, he is good about wearing a mask, and pretty much keeps to himself, he isnt a big social butterfly, just kinda does his job, and really works alone. there are 3 more guys getting tested tomorrow. Fun days ahead. i am getting tested friday to be on the safeside.

That’s hearsay!!!!!!!!!!

Nice pictures Ridge!!!!

If I'm not mistaken, those EZ pass readers on highways are how they are able to put the information on the digital signs that say the time to certain points.

Our transporters have informed us that New Jersey and Delaware are keeping a database of out of state plates coming in. If the government decides you’ve entered nj or de too many times, they will be in contact

Try angrysnowboarder on You Tube Some good info any he's mildly entertaining....

Even with authoritarian measures they can't really stop anything. If the looting and stuff has shown us anything lately its that the grasp that the police have on the populace is tenuous at best.

the majority of those 100,00 are not near you though.....

Believe me I get that and I'm not at all saying the rioting and looting was immune to it. What I'm saying is there's no way that is the only reason its surging in the US. Its probably one of many many reasons why.

The most important calls are about Kurt's ties, the dog, and the train. Woo woo.

People are dumb. A few weeks after thanks giving hospitals will be more than overflowing.

This gets me excited even though it will all melt this weekend.

Snow flurries outside
