California/Nevada '19-'20 SoCal Thread, Baldy to Big Bear, Wrightwood to Waterman

[Pat AKA mustski]

Welcome home @Pat AKA mustski ! I see you brought snow with you this time!

Yup. I told you my curse was broken! Trois Vallées got dumped on while I was there! We are now home an in self isolation mode! I am glad there is so much to do outdoors around here. At least I won't go stir crazy.

Big Bear has it's first confirmed case of Covid 19. The mayor test positive and is in home quarantine. We are on Day 6 of our self imposed quarantine and so far, so healthy. Today's adventure was trying a new walking trail. Nothing big or exciting, but the dogs are living the best life ever. We are home 24/7 and trying a new walking trail every day. Here is today's adventure:

My yard today. Two days ago, there was zero snow on the ground.

@Pat AKA mustski that makes me want to visit
Its hard when there is "no uphill" allowed per the mountain yet clearly someone is getting in some good turns.

I plead innocent on the first charge and nolo contendere on the second. I didn't hit Widowmaker until 5pm.

With this heat wave, it may not last much more than the weekend. I have heard that Valley has been grooming since the closure.

Hopefully, Mammoth will reopen too this year

They stated that was their plan. They were hoping to reopen. It will be crazy anywhere that opens.

I can't seem to find a working webcam to view the madness.

It does seem ironic given the weather.

Crap, no rentals. I sent off my boots for warranty service the week after everything shutdown.

I wonder if next season resorts will have a similar policy, because as it is I'm doubting there will be a next season at all.

I pulled this off FB - Baldy yesterday. Looks like some decent corn.

I'm sure there will be a next season. As for rentals? There will be additional precautions taken for sure.

I don't know about SoCal places, but around here, rental areas are cramped and crowded. They're going to have to really be re-thought if any kind of distancing is going to need to be maintained.
