Ikon: Here's a 7 to 10% extra discount on our non-refundable non-essential pass product if you buy now, while all ski resorts are closed early with no guarantee they will re-open next season, during the worst pandemic in a century resulting in travel being either banned or severely restricted (not to mention very risky to your health and life). We know you are all most concerned about staying alive and healthy right now, and worried about how you will pay your bills in the face of the largest economic uncertainty in your lifetime, at a time when ~10-20% of you may have already lost your jobs with possibly many more to come, but please give us your discretionary income now just in case we are able to have a normal season next year (but if we can't, we will keep your money anyway).

it's still a fairly small scale compared to cancer, heart disease, etc.
While it is very nice to have had conversations with 2 local doctors, I can assure you there is nothing ‘slow’ right now in the hospital system. Adjustments have been made to divert resources and protect community: i.e. non-emergent procedures have been postponed. Less work for Ortho or GI docs... but Pulmonologists, ICU Intensivists, and the morgue are certainly not ‘slow’ at the moment.I've had 2 conversations with local Dr's who were voicing their frustration about their hospitals having to furlough employees because it was so slow and I'm seeing increasing social media posts from people across the political and financial spectrum who are starting to say enough is enough.
@Monique Thank you for the digression, and thank you for being a voice of reason.Sorry for the digression.

In the past week I've had 2 conversations with local Dr's who were voicing their frustration about their hospitals having to furlough employees because it was so slow and I'm seeing increasing social media posts from people across the political and financial spectrum who are starting to say enough is enough.
No doubt, my heart especially goes out to those hard hit areas!I am glad your doctor friends are bored silly like a good chunk of people hanging out on their couches.
Other medical professionals have had slightly different experiences.
Be careful what you wish for... They are just a bit further removed from the fan. It will get there.
Better yet, have them c;mon up to NYC and help out. I promise they will not be bored.
If we are not cautious and judicious, all of us will be living in hard hit areas.No doubt, my heart especially goes out to those hard hit areas!
Better yet, they could go volunteer in the hot zone, to relieve the medical professionals there.I am glad your doctor friends are bored silly like a good chunk of people hanging out on their couches.

Ski resorts/companies are trying to survive, just like all of us, as well as all of the businesses that are not taking in revenue right now. We all have to try to make the best decision for our individual circumstance and I applaud those that elect to put necessities ahead of recreation. If we are lucky, we will have a good ski season next year - predictions are cheap but have a 50/50 chance of open ski resorts next year.Ikon: Here's a 7 to 10% extra discount on our non-refundable non-essential pass product if you buy now, while all ski resorts are closed early with no guarantee they will re-open next season, during the worst pandemic in a century resulting in travel being either banned or severely restricted (not to mention very risky to your health and life).

Skiing public: uhh... no thanks.
"New York state had allowed medical professionals licensed in other states to work here for the duration. "
And morticians licensed in other states.
Same here.I'm pretty sure I've said this elsewhere ... but, I will buy the pass no matter the outcome.
