JRAZZ Posted April 12, 2020 Report Share Posted April 12, 2020 Podcast from a ski industry person. Very sobering.

slopestar Posted April 13, 2020 Report Share Posted April 13, 2020 I don't speculate. I think its a waste of time. I do hope that many feel the financial hardship and go backcountry on splitboards in lieu of buying passes. season pass deals and empty slopes!

TVR Posted April 13, 2020 Report Share Posted April 13, 2020 Unless there is a huge mutation, I am positive a huge number of the humans whom go to the slopes will have already been exposed by next year. Due to this, and with the numbers being less deaths than expected (less than 1/3 the number that die from opiod drug deaths), I see next year being affected, but not cancelled. I will put my money where my mouth is by buying my next years season passes by May, as usual, and booking next years Nationals, by June, as usual.

This is from the 1918 flu pandemic. Notice that the first wave was minuscule in comparison to what followed the next fall. I am not at all sure that we have a significant majority of the population exposed (and immune too, who knows). Even if we do manage to get back to some semblance of normal life by October there are still significant hurdles ("John" scenario from the podcast) that can inhibit next season. That podcast is not about making predictions. It's about taking a sober look of what next season might look like and what the hurdles might be.

It will help me keep track of the upcoming trends, how to prepare for the next season...look where not taking a serious look forward got us! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
