Mt baldy, CA, is reopening

[MXmx]

Have you been to baldy? Often times you are the only person in a run, sometimes the entire mountain.

If it wasn’t for concessions they would be loosing money with how dead it is there and $200 season passes.

Grocery shopping is far more hazardous.

Their entire system is flawed but whatever you say. They claim to be running it like a golf course only allowing 4 people to start skiing every 10 minutes but they don’t say anything about time limits. So in reality if you aren’t limiting the length of time one is allowed to ski then you really aren’t controlling numbers at all. It’s all just a bullshit game.

 

[MXmx]

Exactly.

People bitching about Baldy open have never been there.

I love Baldy and ski there most of the weekends when I don't go to Mammoth.

Baldy is a very unique place. I would read all the social distancing guidelines they have. Baldy is one of the few places where they CAN practice social distancing effectively. I am not saying I support them opening, but it is the kind of area where as long as people where masks and stay 10+ feet apart this COULD work. For those of you that have not been there, the analogy of a gold course is pretty accurate.

They are not selling tickets at the window or anything like that. It is not a standard opening. I would urge all of you to do some research on exactly what they are doing. The approach they are taking would simply not work at most ski areas.

Here is a link explaining their social distancing guidelines:
https://mailchi.mp/mtbaldyresort.com/mtn-report-march-437936?e=6d2aa5aef9

From what I have heard from people who have been up there it has gone quite well. People are wearing masks and staying away from each other. Folks buying tickets online have to make reservations, similar to a tee time in golf.

Like I said, Baldy is one of the few places that COULD pull this off. That being said, I don't know that I support it. I would really love to go again, but I don't know that I can do this with what is going on.

For those of you that have not skied it, Baldy does not get very crowded unless it is a powder day. They have made it quite clear that they are not grooming anything and the mountain is not for anyone who is not advanced or expert. I don't know if we are going to see huge crowds, so far things have been good. And yes, you have to wear a mask while skiing.

I am more worried going to the grocery store and seeing idiots who don't have masks on. I really can't fathom why people are not always wearing them with what is going on.

The jetty at 56th street is crowded with people not practicing social distancing. I would be much more worried about surfing there than I would about skiing Baldy, with what I have heard about how the mountain has been the last couple of days.

I'm still not going to go, and I don't know that I support it, but if one fully understands the situation it is not as reckless as one might think. Baldy can do things that larger resorts simply can't.

They jacked up ticket prices from $20 Groupon deals to 4x more $100 full price tickets for a tiny mountain with 3 50s fixed grip lifts. They are making money now.

Places like Walmart, Costco and Target are hardly selling just essential items.

Even grocery stores are selling more then just necessities. Who gets to decide what’s a necessary item? Are Oreos, Red Bull, Doritos, coconut water and iTunes gift cards all sold at a necessary grocery store essential just because they are at a grocery store?

You are getting worked up about nothing.

I don’t care what baldy is like, it’s not a necessity. Grocery shopping is a necessity. If they don’t have concessions open right now then according to you they’re losing money. So if that’s the case then why open and put your employees and or any guests at risk? Seems asinine to me. You won’t convince me otherwise so don’t even both trying.

Walmart, Costco, Target have a majority of all essential items.

Pharmacys, large quantities of food, and toiletries. All of those are "essential items". LOL "hardly selling just essential items".

At the end of the day skiing is just recreation, same as golfing. Really don't need it right now. Be a man and suck it up.

 

[theabortionator]

The people over at Mt. Baldy seem to be doing a damn good job with the social distancing restrictions.

They are eliminating large amounts of people in many ways. You have to park your car 20’ away from any other vehicle (very limited parking), you have to have a 1 day pass reserved ticket or season pass, they check you in from your vehicle, you sit alone on lifts, must be wearing a mask, no rentals, cafes are closed, bathrooms are rigorously maintained.

I hope other resorts take example and follow suit. Limiting numbers is important, I like how they compared their “traffic” with how much traffic a golf course is getting since those have started opening nationwide. I’m feeling some hope

No way. People will travel. Fuck opening up ski resorts right now. Every dbag that doesnt even ski in april is going to travel just because they can't, or to get some shitty #corona hashtag on the hill.

If it was just locals even semi regional it might be differrnt but it's not. And the biggest psychos about the closures are the people who live in cities nowhere near the resorts.

It's the end of April. Almost every resort would be closed now anyway. If you live close to a patch of snow you can ski go send it, if you don't deal with it and move on.

People need to stop complainging about this shit. Stop beating the dead horse. We get it you wanna ski and you're bored. It's practically fucking summer though, move on.

I feel like they won’t be letting in an absurd amount of people from what I’ve heard from people who have actually skied Baldy but what do I know

The people that are going to buy tickets to ski will be a decent if not majority percentage traveling.

The outside aspect would be chill. Fuck I live right by several resorts but I know the way people are. Every time we got a crumb of snow every asshole from the bay has been in town for it disregarding even shelter in place orders there. There's no way it's going to be just locals and a lot of the people coming will give 0 fucks when they go to gas stations and do shopping along the way.

People are entitled and it's those entitled people that are going to be making up a large percentage of the skiers. "Fuck you. Nobody tells me what to do" types.

Shits wildly selfish and entitled regardless of how you feel about corona the economy or who you voted for. The same dbags lashing out at ski areas for closing will be all over this.

Fuck that. At least I don't live near there. Hoping nothing opens in tahoe any time soon. Id love to get some turns in but keeping the douche bags away seems more important right now.

 

[theabortionator]

Exactly.

People bitching about Baldy open have never been there.

People were talking about driving from san diego to Utah and other long drives to places that were still open. It's not about how many people you come into contact with in a ski run, or riding with less than full chairs.

PEOPLE WILL TRAVEL. Some people will travel far. I don't get what people don't grasp about this. It's warm and sunny out get a new hobby. It's especially fucked when it's the only place open. They're just being greedy fucks and capitalizing on a shit time. Fuck them

 

[Jpurd]

This. Literally 50K people dead and we are concerned with skiing. Our country is a joke. We are the most entitled country on Earth.

I’m far from worked up.

And I also can’t help what people buy when they shop but places that sell food are essential yes. Every item that people go to buy? No, definitely not essential.

But that all adds to my point that we lived in a country full of entitled and spoiled people.

Golf courses in the area and in Minnesota among other states are open. How can golf be open and not skiing? The manager of Baldy made this point on their webpage.

[MXmx]

I used to work for Target corporate. Their model is not selling commodity “essential” items but private labels and non essential fashion/ design products. Take a look at the inside of a store, even one with a real grocery department is greatly overshadowed by non essential high margin items.

People in San Diego drive long distances to ski all the time. Them driving to Utah is nothing new.

People in socal drive 6 hours to Mammoth to ski and think nothing of it.

In socal people drive long distances to ski regardless of a virus. You can’t have 70F year round and beaches along with skiing.

[MXmx]

Coincidentally, Monday my work is providing free virus tests. I’m going to follow the laws San Bernardino county set for the virus along with the strict rules the ski area has and report the finding of my virus test Monday.

 

[black]

It’s great to see the resorts getting open again, shows a lot of heart and dedication to keeping the sport alive in these trying times. I don’t have much hope out here in the east. Sugarloaf has the base to reopen and more snow is on the way but our stay at home order ends may 13th I think and it’s late and not worth it for them. Hike seen has been phenomenal though with the late season snow. As far as safety skiing can easily Be done distanced socially .

...a lot of fucking "heart and dedication"? It shows a lot of selfishness and stupidity that you fucks continue to advocate to ski during a goddamn pandemic. We just passed 50k deaths in the USA, wake tf up. Unless you can literally hike out your front door to ski a patch of low risk snow then theres no real argument for it not being the selfish choice rn. Where has this "phenomenal" hike season been for you, do you have to drive to get to it?

If I’m practicing social distancing at Target and Costco, I can easily do so ripping runs at Baldy.

I doubt I’ll ever be closer then 30 feet to someone else on a run.

nobodies stupid enough to think that you can't socially distance while actually skiing, I really hope thats not what you think we're arguing here...

unless you can literally teleport to the top of the hill from your house and back, than everything involving skiing makes it unnecessary and selfish to do so rn, and people are either too stupid to comprehend that, or too selfish to accept it and do it anyway. You stop at a gas station to pump gas cuz you're driving uphill and burnin up the rest of your tank? Touch the gas pump and cc slot and potentially spread. You're on the lift and you sneeze and it covers the saftey bar and potentially spread. You heading back down from skiing and more hungry than you thought so you stop for takeout instead of eating home, get a little too close when making your order and potentially spread while speaking. Suddenly have to take a shit so you just go into the restaurant bathroom and touch all kinds of stuff, potentially spreading...you get the point. None of those choices would be made if you didn't ski, not a hard concept to understand

I hope other resorts take example and follow suit. Limiting numbers is important, I like how they compared their “traffic” with how much traffic a golf course is getting since those have started opening nationwide. I’m feeling some hope

no no no no no, fuck off. Golf courses are equally as unnecessary rn especially when carts are still allowed at a lot of them...wtf??? Resorts should absolutely not follow suit. The "hope" you feel will dwindle when all these stupid unnecessary businesses open/stay open and further add to the infection spread, and further set back the time until "normal", you can't have your cake and eat it too

Who gets to decide what’s a necessary item? Are Oreos, Red Bull, Doritos, coconut water and iTunes gift cards all sold at a necessary grocery store essential just because they are at a grocery store?

ok now you're just further proving you're retarded thinking coconut water is in any way junk food like the rest of the shit you listed, not even remotely close....smh

goddamn thank you for being voices of reason in here, feel like I'm taking crazy pills reading some of the horseshit posted in here. Totally agree with all you two are saying. It's obvious the second a place like A Basin opens up (which they're hoping to) all of Denver/SLC/anywhere remotely close will all travel to come ski, that shit is beyond unacceptable and most obviously unnecessary. There is nothing necessary about skiing, thats the cold hard truth.

Before you click that downvote button take a second to ponder how necessary skiing really is as a vaccine is currently ~18 months out and the federal government is literally seizing PPE shipments from states that are desperately running out, healthcare workers putting their fucking lives on the line with shit for protection so your entitled ass can ski again in late April. If you still disagree go fuck yourselves you selfish fucking assholes

I don't understand people putting themselves on a 'saving lives' pedestal thinking that invalidates all the other problems associated with the virus, especially when it is expected that everyone will contract the virus and the social distancing measures were just to take the load off the healthcare system.

Edit: Also, who the hell do people think they are thinking they get to choose what's essential and what isn't. That's sounds like some nazi shit to me.

this is so fucking irrelevant its disgusting. "all the time"...... this is a pandemic, how hard is that to understand....?

Here maybe this will help you since you don't seem to be grasping this concept:

pandemic noun

pan·​dem·​ic | \ pan-ˈde-mik \

: an outbreak of a disease that occurs over a wide geographic area and affects an exceptionally high proportion of the population : a pandemic outbreak of a disease

golf shouldn't fucking be happening either! Traveling long distances shouldn't be happening either! Citing either of those examples doesn't add to your argument in any meaningful way

I have nothing against it. The ski resorts and businesses in Tahoe count on everyone driving 3 or 4 hours from the bay. The thing is, this situation is different. When businesses are closing, implementing all kinds of restrictions, and people are told to stay the fuck at home, driving 10 hours to ski really isn't chill.

The people from the cities(especially in CA) that lacked logging days because it wasn't snowing missed out. It's not my fault they missed all the bluebird groomer and park laps because it wasn't #powday taggable on the gram. There were plenty of awesome days this season, im sad about spring because i ride the most in spring but fuck all these doucher city folk that don't ride, april, bitching at every mountain for being closed, and are the exact clientele that places like baldy are trying to attract.

I would have gone out in the bc more this spring if every doucher and their family wasn't coming up to kook it up with no gear and no fucks given.

The people driving up to the mtns from so cal and the bay to the mountains to ski high avy days solo with no gear just to post some shitty fucking selfie pic or video? Fuck that. Some of them were the same people saying horrible things to small ski areas for closing because they were salty they didn't ski enough. Fuck them. When anything came up about closures people went all defensive an entitled. "Fuck you localism sucks" what part of stay the fuck home don't people understand.

These people didn't give a fuck about the restrictions at the beginning and they def don't now. Fuck them and any ski resort that opens right now to turn a quick profit. It's not even coming down to politics. It's pretty simple and obvious douchery.

People need to drink less coffee, get a fucking hobby, drink more, smoke some weed, and chill out.

Im not trying ti be aggressive but this is beating the same dead horse as a month and a half ago and a good chunk of people on the front lines of the argument are total assholes. I'd love to be skiing right now, but if the resorts being closed keeps these douchebags away Im all for it.

Sorry if this comes across as cunty but it's April 24th. Why are we even still arguing about this. If this shutdown started in december I'd get it but the resorts closed the 14th-20th ish. Sure there was some time legt but most of the season was done. People are too bired and too high strung. People need to meditate, do yoga, eat drugs, yell at their neighbors, i don't fucking know. Do something other than this. I'm not even mad but it seems hard to really care about not offending people with the obvious at this point.

I posted too much in this thread already. Im out.

thats a huge middle finger to health care workers on the front lines. SARs-CoV-2 viral load is a huge factor in determining if you are on the asymptomatic side or the near death on a ventilator side of things. By being around it significantly more than pretty much anybody else simply puts them at a way higher viral load risk. Are you really saying saving their lives isn't important rn? Keeping doctors healthy and safe seems pretty fucking important IMO

The viral load affecting symptoms is interesting, I'm seeing conflicting things about whether or not that's even true, if you have sources I'd love to check them out. My point still stands, everyone's lives are important, but fact of the matter is everyone will likely contract it at some point and it seems that underlying factors and age are still the major determining factors to the death rates.

People golf locally. Everyone has golf course. Not everyone has mtns with snow and people absolutely travel to ski. Highlands is gonna reopen too and I'm guess it's more regarding the lawsuit or pr than anything else considering they usually close around the 13th.

Ah yes, saying that grocery shopping is essential but skiing/going to concerts and bars isn't essential is some nazi shit!! Were you even able to graduate high school?

The vast majority of virus deaths are from the elderly in hospice/ assisted/ nursing facilities, not exactly the clientele that will be skiing ungroomed black diamond ski runs.

Yes, lots of people have died from the virus, but you need to look deeper in the numbers. Same goes for Italy, yes they a high number of deaths, however, that’s not from a poor quality health system of people being careless. That’s from having one of the oldest population in the world which also means its population has a weaker immune system.

I have a new pair of Full Tilts mondo size 27.5 if someone can prove to me that someone who skied at Baldy recently caught the virus while following county and ski resort distancing/ mask rules.

Excuse me, I need to go get some essential items at Target since everything at Target is essential. Frosty paws, a GoPro, a SD card, external hard drive, frozen pizza, shaving cream, boba tea, playing cards with pictures of famous playas, a WuTang CD, jello and Finlandia vodka are so far on my essential items list.

 

[MXmx]

I think you are thinking of mini golf. Yes, that clientele typically doesn’t travel far to get their mini golf fix on.

If we are talking big boy golf, then why do I constantly see tons of golf clubs at John Wayne airport oversized pickup when I get my skis? I’ll see about 1 dozen golf clubs and 1-2 skis. People travel all the time for golf.

This goes into pretty good detail, tldr: social distancing measures can contain the virus if they're extreme enough to beat the reproductive rate, else herd immunity through infection or a vaccine are the only options.

You really gonna cunt up this thread over beef huh

I'm not the one calling the government Nazis because grocery stores are open and bars/ski resorts are closed. You really going to say something super stupid like that and then expect no one to comment on that? You have to be the dumbest person i've ever had the displeasure of talking to.

At least biff doesn't just hurl playground insults at everyone he disagrees with while providing nothing to the conversation at hand.

You can get scratch offs and mountain dew at your local kwikemart

The marshmellow peep factory was in full swing for easter, and the shelves were happily stocked nationwide

All the dispensarys are open, same with liquor stores

But I can't get an optometrist appointment

My mom can't get the screws in her back removed

College kids are graduating without capstone projects

Etc etc etc.

To pick and choose what is essential, when nobody will agree what is and what isn't, is completely horseshit. But you didn't think of that. You want your own opinion echoed back and forth to you to ease your mind and validate your feelings in your black and white world.

Fuck you, shitsipper.

I think you are thinking of mini golf. Yes, that clientele typically doesn’t travel far to get their mini golf fix on.

If we are talking big boy golf, then why do I constantly see tons of golf clubs at John Wayne airport oversized pickup when I get my skis? I’ll see about 1 dozen golf clubs and 1-2 skis. People travel all the time for golf.

No shit. A lot of the time people play local though. Hell people go to other countries with their golf bags. You can play golf around LA, the Bay area, etc. You sure as hell can't snowboard there.

All this comes down to is "I wanna ski, I wanna ski now, i don't care if it's the end of the season I'm bored and I wanna ski. Fuck you I won't do what tell me."

Sweet. Do whatever. Travel a bunch, lick some groceries, have large gatherings, go rent a vacation home somewhere. You're going to do whatever you want anyway. Just don't pretend that people traveling all over to ski is the same as getting a take out sandwhich down the street. It doesn't matter your political affiliation, your view on corona etc. This kind of travel goes against everything people have been told to do, any restrictions on travel etc.

So spend it and send it with the jerrs for some overpriced slush laps you were probably going to skip anyway had the season kept going. At least you can get a hashtag in to show your friend that you were on a real mtn with real snow.

I’m far from worked up.

And I also can’t help what people buy when they shop but places that sell food are essential yes. Every item that people go to buy? No, definitely not essential.

But that all adds to my point that we lived in a country full of entitled and spoiled people.

What it’s ok for TGR Tom to take his touring rig out but some guy who lost his job and can’t afford that gear and only skis a handful of days a year to begin with cant go ride groomers and take a nice long car ride to Baldy to keep from going insane?

You don’t trust him to piss in the woods and not use the lodge?

Come on now.

 

[PeppermillReno]

keep pretending that going skiing rn makes that number lower, not higher

50k is low you absolute clown when you consider most are elderly who didn’t have long to live. Consider everyone’s life regardless of age has pretty much been ruined by this.

It’s probably under 1000 totally healthy people with no pre existing conditions that have died.

Someone needs to slap the shit out of you.

If "TGR Tom" can tour low risk terrain from his house without entering a car, sure, go ahead if you insist #nocarnognarnotfar

of course people can social distance while skiing, piss in the woods, etc. if you read my other posts you'd see its not the actual downhill skiing thats the issue here, its the entire support network around what it takes for a day of skiing (or more than a day since you know people are going to be traveling far and wide for it). Unless you can teleport from your house to the top of the ski hill then back to your house again, skiing is selfish rn

haha ok funny stuff coming from the one who is a clown here. An ignorant, selfish clown. Tell this to all the healthcare workers on the front lines who've died from COVID-19

I'm sure they'll give you the thumbs up to ski!

Ok you win the health care workers I feel for. Hospitals will see all of the most sick folks who were going to die regardless. Fuck I worry about anyone not getting side effects from breathing through a mask 24/7.

Responsible outdoor recreation needs to make a return ASAP. Influenza was beaten by telling folks to go outside and spread out. A few weeks ago it was fine for someone in the sticks to want a city dweller to stay away but this summer that won’t fly. Everyone should be encouraged to grab their tent and pitch up wherever. Dig a hole and bury your tp.
