whats good. i was wondering if you guys had any insider knowledge on any ski resorts plans for the covid season. i can tell you that at my local hill which is called Bogus Basin there are 2 main outcomes of this season. 1. not open at all :( 2. open to pass holders with reservations for 1,500 - 3,000 people everyday. either way this seems pretty bad. i get it covid 19 bad and all but seriously how can a ski lodge not observe the restaurant standards of social distancing? of course this means less seating but realistically there are at least two lodges on most hills with outdoor seating as well. it seems pretty silly to not open a resort, especially one like mine which is a non-profit. which means they really need the money.

anyways, do you guys have any updates about the actions bigger resorts are taking?

I hope you're info on bogus is wrong. Hoping to go out to Boise to visit some friends and take some laps. Is Idaho still adding hundreds of cases a day or something?

I think most ski resorts reopen because a lot of city’s make a lot of money from ski resorts. My hill I go to needs 350,000 dollars to reopen😁

is there a reason you believe those are the two outcomes? or just assuming based on what people are generally saying?

I hope I'm wrong as well. Idaho's cases are very low so I was pretty surprised by this response.

Oh word. lol I’m from Boise and was thinking about getting a pass to go with friends when I’m in town to visit, but idk then. I picked up a pass for Grand Targhee and they don’t seem to give 2 shits about covid so it seems they’ll be open unless the governor orders a shutdown again but idk.

I'm sure Bogus will be opening. They need money since they are a non-profit, which is why they have extended their summer operations a few times. If I were to guess they will stretch out any restrictions that are placed on them. At least I hope so.
