Seems to have gone into moderator purgatory (from which some threads seemingly never emerge).
Clearly this one isn’t about to reemerge. All reference to it evaporated, puff.
I haven’t been on the site long enough to know that’s a regular occurrence. Now I do.
I was a little surprised when, after a week away from the site, that thread had grown something like 10 pages in that time! (The Covid thread grew quite fast, that’s why I looked at the ski related thread first) Now I’m forced to look at that thread, which while having plenty of Covid information, actually has relatively little relevant information for skiers specifically. (Partly because those information went to the thread that vanished)
I Know what you mean about political. The course of the pandemic itself is highly political in this country. Science got buried by political rhetorics. So it’s next to impossible to ban political posts in a ... political thread! (Even though it’s SUPPOSED to be related to a disease)
That said, it’s another nail on the coffin. If there’s no ski related pandemic discussion, there goes my motivation to visit.
I’m not a gear junkie. I’m not after the perfect turn. I typically don’t think of skiing in the summer, except this year on the subject of passes.
Having just more or less decided to not buy a pass for next season, skiing recedes from consciousness. Until there’s any positive movement to jog my memory, that is. But I may not see any of such positive movement if I’m not looking! Vicious cycles, I know.
(The Covid thread is entertaining. But not really informational because useful information tend to get totally buried)
