No Skiing More Skiing In Ontario

I think the primary issue here is that people will travel to ski. Golf courses, hockey rinks, etc. are all fairly localized and often don’t require much inter-jurisdictional travel. The trouble then is not really the people at the hill being safe - it’s the amalgamation of people coming from all over the place to ski.

Sorry to play devils advocate, but that could be how they are seeing it.
 
Man, try a season in Ontario if you think its not that much better in Quebec. Moved out to Sherbrooke for school and i now have 4 actual mountains in an hour drive, rather than 2 tiny hills.

Never thought it was that flat in Ontario. But to be fair, Quebec isn’t that much better. Every ski hill thats open is flooded with people, so snow conditions are always shitty anyway. In the laurentians, everything was still open about 2 weeks ago because there was very few covid cases, but with the tourists coming in since the season started, everything had to close... hope ski hills aren’t next!

For those who wants to follow what's going on in Quebec. Lobbying seems kinda strong... They were having some long lift lines issues since it was 1 household or a single for 4 seaters.

From Sommet Saint-Sauveur' facebook

"They said yes ! It is now possible to be 2 different household in the chairlift. Here are the new rules.

4 seater chairs : occupancy of 1 household OR 2 single person seated at each end

6 seater chairs : occupancy of 1 household OR 2 single person seated at each end and 1 in the middle"

I agree that traveling is a big part of the problem. I do think that if they closed hotels and other resort attractions at places like blue it would help a lot to reduce people traveling to ski.
 
Dude that runs Calabogie told CBC that even late last week, someone in the provincial government was telling him to expect good news on Monday. Since I can't imagine that this is the good news he was promised, something must have changed last minute over the weekend.

The good news being that you get an extended "winter vacation" and you don't have to worry about the snow you didn't make in the last week being lost to the upcoming rainstorm.
 
Resorts and Ontario Public Health met today, hopefully we get some good news in a few days. If no good news, I wanna try and hijack a lift at some place with shit security and run it at night. Anybody in? Fuck Ford.
