Dont forget about Toast and his magical vocal chords. If Toast sings, i would show up.

Yeah, give the guy in the red pants like a triangle, kazoo, or slide whistle he can play.

This is kinda where im at now. Thanksgiving was good, we actually ate outside, but the likelyhood of that being the case when santa comes around, is unlikely. My Brother and SIL are really working from home, and now my Nephew has moved to all online for school, so, nobody in that household making too much contact these days. I'm kinda looking like the bad guy here since i do go to work. I just dont want to be the guy spreading shit around. The numbers as of late are just down right frightning. I feel like there is a light at the end of this unbelievable shitty tunnel, so no reason to possibly make matters worse.

Gone now.

More back on topic, how are you guys feeling about Christmas with the fam? I for one aint feeling real good about it.

Definitely blowing down by the 6, and top of homestretch. Doesnt make sense to me unless they are working on Paradise? could it be?

decent amount of guns on now. i think they could be blowing on whatever is right of the six, lower park or something? hard to tell, but maybe a better view with more light. looks like something on at the top of homestretch.

Probably a step in the right direction for sure. 6 comments on their FB post and of course there is the “when are you opening” comment.

Strapped to a random tree? well anybody can strap ken and barbie to a tree and...........oh, wait, thats already been done at Blue. I live in an area that has had exponential housing growth over the past decade or so, to the point where i have to go around the town i live in, rather than go through it to get home at 4-5 pm. I doubt that traffic is really get less congested anywhere, so i just deal with it. i like where i live, i really like my house, and from my house i dont see anything but other houses, a barn and some trees.

i have gotten in my own truck wearing a mask, kinda realized it like halfway home, or been outside totally alone wearing a mask, so, apparently i have gotten used to wearing one.

These are my thoughts as well. I'm less concerned about getting it, than i am giving it to someone. Especially my parents. Being at work puts me (at least i think) at a touch higher risk, just because i am around some people during the course of the day, i work mostly in an office space with 4 other residents, and a bunch of visitors in the morning. One of the managers here here hasnt been on board with just using common sense since day one, and openly admits he is "over it, and its BS anyways". And i think most of his information on the topic comes from his daughter, who is a nurse. I am under the impression she got some type of nursing certificate out of a box of cereal, based on the dumb stuff that comes out of his mouth, which usually starts with "my daughter said........" Anyways.....i think we can all see the light at the end of the tunnel at this point. Might be a rough month or so, but i think in the next few months, we should start seeing improvements. The odd thing is, nobody in my family has mentioned Christmas at all, which is usually a topic at Thanksgiving. Just not sure how that one is gonna play out.

I find that to be pretty across the boards with skiers in general. Car guys? kinda couldnt give a fuck. I went to a car show and people wearing masks properly were definitely the minority, by lots. People protecting their chin with a mask? lots.

Yeah, i would have to agree. I dont see much happening temp wise until Monday at this point.

And people wonder why you do "no heat November"

If you are referring to paying $130 to ski Snowbird, and adding the $50 Alta upgrade for the same day, yeah i dont get that either. But in some cases, the right day out west can be life altering for the better, which makes the price of a lift ticket pretty insignificant. Most people here dont pay window price either. Multi day lift tix, ski shop tix, etc.......but who knows how thats gonna work this year. Most tix for Utah can be had at a local ski shop for a decent savings, with direct access.

There used to be a one day Alta/Bird pass, which, i never really understood, unless you were staying at Alta, and wanted to go to Snowbird, or vise versa. Unlike the mountains local to us, it would hard to say by noon you have seen all there is at Alta/Bird, and want to go to the other one.

STOP

I know you didnt. Basically, i was saying next week is a long ways away, and the forecast is just that. a Forecast. None taken. I cant bring in the audience that he can. You might be able to with your outstanding karaoke skillz.

Yeah, but that was supposed to happen this week. Hope it does, but not canceling plans on my busy social calendar for skiing on the 12th. (i mean, if they care to open)

Stop.

Saltyann doesnt drink.

Huntah opens wednesday.

this is a wonderful idea. https://www.yahoo.com/finance/news/nyc-restaurant-city-winery-is-requiring-a-50-onsite-covid-19-test-before-you-dine-130249020.html Its a Covid test before you dine in their restaurant. Its $50. Not that i would normally pay 50 bucks before being able to eat somewhere, but the test i took last week cost $100.

Applauding their efforts, it was a gamble as everyone knows, but its not looking like a return to snowmaking until monday the 30th. Looks like they will have some good overnight temps to work with, but days might be a little warm. It will be interesting to see if anything sticks around until then. Its reassuring to know that Blue is committed to making this season happen for us.
