Not if it's by reservation and the skiers are given appointment times for arrival. That has actually worked really well for Baldy and it's fed by Los Angeles, San Diego, the OC, the Inland Empire. Overall, a much higher population than the front range.
This is a pretty high number to allow for good social distancing in the parking area. Do they have a giant parking area? Do they have multiple lifts in the base area. Even if they only allow so many to arrive per hour - figuring 8-noon as the starting times, that's a lot of people in the base area at one time. Baldy has only been allowing 4 appointments for each 10 minute period -so 24 an hour.
The health risk would be to the employees. If there is no lodging available in the area, it will be just day trippers so no overload to the local medical units.
Exactly! Mt Baldy is also MUCH closer to the major population centers than WC is. It's a 3 hour drive from Pueblo.
