  1. Got a bunch of sleds in the barn. Thinking of hauling some out this summer to prep for winter. Maybe recruit some bored city folk to haul me up the hill with a long social distancing rope. Local bump not very good at planning how to run things when times are good have no faith they will handle this situation any better. Over the last few years they have removed 5 Tbars (the perfect social distancing lift in my opinion) My other option is to groom some trails on the farm with my Skidozer and charge for private outings. That would mean i'd have to build an outdoor loo that could be cleaned without imperiling my health . Sorry lurch no slide through. Not in a hurry to purchase. It will be nice to see resorts having to woo me rather than screw me for a change !
  2. Latest hope is that things are opening up but realistically it seems the first wave isn't over and talk that the latest spikes in states unmentioned is a second wave i think is very naive. To me it seems that it's really their first wave. God help them when the second actually comes. I am quite remote from any real threat but my routine is different because of this "P" ( I'm sick of calling it Covid 19) the reality is i have found some things stressful that before "P" never were. Nursing homes here are recruiting new residents but in reality don't have the staff to look after the ones they have. To entice new staff they have bumped up the pay $4.00 an hour. That paramedic was right on by saying workers are undervalued. Everyone is undervalued by the person one rung above them on the ladder. I'm trying to be a better person during all this but it's hard when most of the injustice continues. The son of one of our former Prime Ministers Ben Mulroney a media personality here in Canada has resigned his position with the hopes he will be replaced by someone less white and privileged. Since he comes from a privileged environment and a political one to boot i'm skeptical but i'll give him the benefit of the doubt till he announces he's running for political office. I don't know the words to thank the people who are making a big difference in the world today but when the time comes we better let them all know what they are really worth ! Stay Safe everyone.
  3. Excellent article ! Sitting out one season doesn't seem like real hardship considering the alternative. Thanks for posting.
  4. The ultimate fix is an autonomous sled that won't run you over when traveling down slope to pick you up. Dr. Fauci or WHO usually don't factor in to my daily routine so i will continue to treat them more like entertainment. I'm still sitting on the fence with respect to next years membership but MCC is not in the plans for next year. I think the best option for now is to watch what the members of Yellowstone are planing for next season since their entry cost is significantly greater than mine.
  5. Man your an optimist "Ski Resorts giving pass holders an advantage." I'm giving serious consideration to putting up the T bar I bought a few years back and just staying home. The cable tow I have is hard to use riding the Skwal.
  6. Everyone seems to try to bait me with politics i'm not biting. Very happy for you and the prospects of a very nice holiday. Covid 19 abruptly ended our plans this spring for a return to the Kootenays so i look forward to some pics of your snow fields. Numbers here are up and down so prospects for some kind of plan are not looking hopeful. Beaches are being fenced off and signs warning people away are a new reality never seen before and we don't have sharks ! I'm more a Cabernet Sauvignon person in the chance a case showed up at the door. Play Safe !
  7. I'm worried for your wife. SunSurfer needs a honeydew list this is getting out of hand ! Remember Red Rum Red Rum ? Back to the garage. No one rides a bare board . Put some bindings on and re-do your experiment .
  8. Chat might be over golf is on in Ontario, Fore !
  9. Strap a club on the bike and come drive some balls. Pasture is still low enough they won't get lost. Bring a few spare helmets for the horses !
  10. What kind of subtle invite is that ? Can I come too !
  11. What exactly was the political content ? The words "political content" or " I'm the new mind police" ? If your response to my response of Lurches' post is intended as satire or irony it is at a level i cannot compete with I will leave it to a professional wordsmith like Lurch.
  12. I just found out my jokes aren't appreciated and now the Governor of Montana doesn't want any visitors in Montana a social distance of thousands of miles might do the trick to supress Covid 19. Hope it works. A lot of good riding to be had in Montana these truly are unprecedented times.
  13. 44 places if my memory is correct and hopefully more to come. Majority was tickets for 5 ouch !
  14. Political Content ! Political Content ! I'm the new Thought Police.
  15. Surprised the graphics weren't hacked by Bruce and you ended up with a board that looked like a bag of clubs !
  16. Wasn't aware that it's confirmed that exposure provides any immunity to repeat exposure. Antibodies or not no guarantees.
  17. dredman do you give out candy one piece at a time for kids on Halloween ?
  18. Ok it's April 26th hows the video coming ?
  19. John is this another teaser for your Future magazine ? Get on it man non of us are getting off this planet alive and were not getting any younger. You have the most captive audience the world has ever known.
  20. Sorry if i offended you wasn't my intent .
  21. Don't think stepped away would be accurate perhaps customers have stepped away from Donek Sean is still supporting us at least with wax scrapers @MCC. You could contact Sean today for a new alpine board and you could try to order one from Burton and while you at it order some bindings from Catek !
  22. Very interesting approach please let us know how it works .I hope it does without danger to patrons.I'm sure it would be easier to just close for the season.
  23. Shall i send your post to the Stratton office so they can apply the Jack M. premium to your membership ? I understand your enthusiasm but saying it in public ouch. Are you running a fever ?
  24. Lordmetroland and Beckmans posts are pure evidence that the political split we witness in the real world has now infiltrated another Alpine post. No science to back it up nor reference to CDC or health officials. Will this never end ? Who to trust who's side do i take ?
