Expand I don't know if there is really a bad time to go. Some times are just less desirable than others. It is what you make of it. That being said, I would not turn down a mid-March trip. A few of us were out there for the first week of March last year and had a great time and great conditions. See here: 1 Quote

I believe JH has a three year agreement with Alterra so there’s a possibility they are off the Ikon pass the following season. The vocal locals have been kicking and screaming the last two seasons due to increased on mountain crowds and full parking lots. Quote

I never saw so many people washing their hands for so long on our trip to Utah! Try not to think too much about it, just wash your hands more often and thoroughly. Have a great trip! Quote
RidgeRacer Posted March 9, 2020 Report Posted March 9, 2020 Flying this week too...picked up a couple of packs of hand wipes for when I can't wash. I hate to get sucked into the hype but better to be safe. Airlines are scrubbing their planes down overnight to from what I'm reading so first flights out will likely be squeaky clean. Quote

The rustlers are probably the better call, but I just put the LIbertys in the bag.... Quote
