Have there been any changes to the Resorts since the virus is beginning to spread here in the States? Haven’t been up in about 10 days or so.

would be surprised, cutting the season short 2-3 weeks probably doesnt hurt them too bad, tourist season is over.

aspen has had a few cases and are responding accordingly. disinfecting the gondola and only permitting groups who are together to ride, relaxing cancellation policies, and opening other lifts to allow for better access sans gondi.

Good thing my man Trump will figure this out and save the world once again. Hold tight people, if there is one man who can solve this. It is him.

JH aren't laoding their tram to full capacity now. Crossing my fingers they don't shut it down because I'll be there in a few days.

bro he already has COVID-19, mark my words. This vid is so ironic, he's holding back coughs and sounds/looks sick, and his baseline is already incredibly unhealthy so this is about to get even more interesting

My resort just closed. Maryland has mandated no group events over 250+ and that includes recreational activities. Such a terrible winter as far as weather goes and my resort did amazing keeping us on snow every day all for the coronavirus to shut us down early.
