Skiing with covid and rule bending

[img]1009982[/img] [img]1009983[/img] think i can justify Ã¢ÂÂhiking the easy slope and potentially casually skiing downÃ¢ÂÂ as a way to go build some jumps at my local [img]1009985[/img] this was earlier today

The whole point is to not use emergency airlift resources so is there a chance that those will have to be used? If not and the trail you’re climbing looks easy to the average person then I think you’ll get a pass.

Nothing really embodies the essence of freeskiing like doing what the government tells you to do

Everyone in the states should keep a close eye on NZ an AUS, same thing is knocking on our doorstep here in the states. Comply or go to jail. Gradually then Suddenly the mandates will continue to rain down.

If the covid precautions stop me from skiing even though most people are vaccinated then fucking throw me in jail. People in support of outdoor lockdowns are massive pussies. you have a chance of dying every day no matter what.

That looks like Whakapapa so depends if you’ll be allowed up Bruce Road. Down in here in Wanaka all the access roads are closed to the public. There’s also some essential workers up at Whakapapa I think so you may get in the shit if they see you, or they might not care. Cops may be keeping an eye out too.

I agree these guidelines are stupid because doing pretty much anything “may expose you to danger”. The government introduced them last year to not stretch the emergency services because of the pandemic, but we know they’re not busy because there’s no COVID outside of Auckland or Welly. Basically sums up this government’s approach to risk.

Anyway best of luck to you if you head up for a mish!

we need to stop people from recreating outside so that they will be safe and socialize indoors in small spaces. That will stop covid for sure.
