I specifically asked Loveland about how they're going to handle single skiers with their lifts. I was told that they will be loading chairs with a seat between members outside of your party. So 2 singles on a triple, a couple and a single on a quad, etc. This seems to fly in the face of the state guidelines though...
I called Loveland to ask about this Friday, but with all that was going on, decided to wait to post this.
The man I talked to told me they would never force or pressure us to go up on any lift with anyone, and I could always go up single for distancing reasons. Always.
Whew. A relief.
Hooray for Loveland, eh,
@jmeb?
His voice was really slow and kind. He said they'd been humbled by all that was happening, so much change so quickly. The weather. Covid. A fire just over the ridge. The problem of how to tell hikers the area was closed to the public. The problem of getting a variance to continue to prep for ski season.
(Probably no longer a problem now, given all this snow, and cold.)
Pretty weird, we both agreed.
I told him I would probably avoid weekends and peak days out of consideration for families and young folk who could only ski then.
He told me that it was okay if I came then, that young people could always learn a bit of patience, if there was more of a line. (He was obviously a young person himself.)
