Having to end skiing early this year was bad. Driving into St Maries this AM gave me a good look at the Mt's and the snow on them. I am already in August mode , GOD help me, bye the time Fall actually gets here I will be a basket case.
That's why you have the support of all of us.Having to end skiing early this year was bad. Driving into St Maries this AM gave me a good look at the Mt's and the snow on them. I am already in August mode , GOD help me, bye the time Fall actually gets here I will be a basket case.
There are no bad conditions, just wrong equipment for the conditions . I do admit that I still haven't found the right goggles for freezing rain.A season like this will give you perspective on what you are willing to ski. I have fallen into a "it should be a good condition day" before I jump into my boots. Now I have to admit some of the days that I have passed on are now missed opportunity. Next season is going to be different.
BTW good luck finding those goggles for freezing rain. Not sure if they exist.There are no bad conditions, just wrong equipment for the conditions . I do admit that I still haven't found the right goggles for freezing rain.
We drove from Reno west on I80 yesterday to Boca and Stampede Reservoirs. I was blown away by how many people were parked and fishing in the Truckee River. At least that's what I think they were doing. A lot of bikers on the trail that follows the river too.Might just pick up the fly rod again for lack of anything better to do, golf courses are all closed. About the only things open around here are grocery stores, places that sell liquor and pot shops; keep the herd tranquilized.
Oh wait, fishing is CLOSED TOO!
I get cha...Time to forget there is a webcam, well 4 webcams...damn, it looked really good this morning...
In order to be fully operational Sun Peaks relies heavily on out of towners both for staff and skiers, so I am concerned what next season will look like.
It will be interesting to watch the southern hemisphere ski seaon and which of those three scenarios play out. And whether or not that can provide some learning for the 20/21 northern hemisphere season.The Australian/NZ ski season will either be delayed, curtailed or won't go ahead.
Singapore suffered an uptick in infections from immigrant workers living in dormitory style accommodation. Be interesting (and telling) to find out what type of accomm most of the seasonal workers at ski resorts are being housed in. I know the mountain I was on (not far from yours) had workers vacate staff accomm shortly after shutdown. Lack of ability for effective social distancing.
The Australian/NZ ski season will either be delayed, curtailed or won't go ahead. Going to make it a long time without a ski and no guarantee that international travel will resume for next northern winter.
Its a bit up in the air at the moment regarding what our ski season will consist of of in NZIt will be interesting to watch the southern hemisphere ski seaon and which of those three scenarios play out. And whether or not that can provide some learning for the 20/21 northern hemisphere season.

I'm watching this until the ski areas re-open or my civil liberties are restored..... which ever comes first.
