County by county map. Pittsburgh area is doing better.

Only 100 more days until Root Friday.  Blue has safety procedures in place...They are requiring 48 hours in advance ticket purchasing.  I imagine some who show up without an advanced ticket will be disappointed...wont affect us.

Sounds like a weird sex move involving zinc.

On The Lifts

• 6 ft distancing must be maintained between cohort groups.
• Skiers and riders will be required to wear masks and gloves while in lift lines and while riding the lift. 

 

Is PASR a registered cohort group?

Then Blue will probably sell them at 3 times markup. Best thing is just keep it in your car.

I wear a mask for like 75% of my day, its just not that hard. I mean, For most people i guess. 
i will gladly wear a mask for less crowded slopes and lift lines. To me it seems like a decent trade off. 
props to Blue for the pre season outline. We think this is all gonna suck for us, but its gonna suck for them worse.

Small price to pay if there are less crowds...I wear a mask all day...it's almost like second nature now.....If it plays out like they say it will be nice having a season pass....

WNEP had an article about how they’re telling kids at Bloomsburg to keep gatherings to 25 or less and more and they could be cited for disorderly conduct.

I was happy to see. A little reassurance goes a long way.  Last night I was actually hanging out at an outdoor golf course bar and restaurant and they have special Covid-19 rules printed on signs in large letters.  TP4 how good is it gonna feel to be on your snowboard again?
