pennsyltucky man. PLCB closed the liquor stores (they're all state run). they run a website for online sales, but access was restricted as well (along with shut down of physical stores) and has been randomized. i managed to get on yesterday morning so got an order placed. delivery tomorrow.
Ever try pedaling uphill ?Just got an e-mail from the bike park - Looks like my seasons pass for DH is done. They just cancelled the entire year.
I have options. I can get a refund or I can apply this years amount paid against next years pass. Nothing like a bit of a free loan eh Blue?
So no big bike unless we find an open hill and road trip. @canadmos what are yer plans - lol, nevermind, you no have a big bike.
Wonder if Bromont will have a partial season...
So far nothing transpired about an opening. Even "pedal" trails are shutdown.
I thought the DH bike was for the downs and the trailbike was for the ups and downs? Am I doing it wrong? Fuck after 50 years you would think I would be able to get it right. Sorry.
Hey now, my bike is 160mm so thats a big, maybe even hoooooooge, bike for Ontario.Just got an e-mail from the bike park - Looks like my seasons pass for DH is done. They just cancelled the entire year.

Chatter is that Whistler may not open either. I'm not sure what's gonna happen for smaller mountains here on the east coast but I'm not trying to get my hopes up.Just got an e-mail from the bike park - Looks like my seasons pass for DH is done. They just cancelled the entire year.

I thought it was 100% confirmed that they would not open?
hadn't heard it was 100%.
They said that it's to big of a machine to open it up in short notice.
Highland was end of may last I heard.
well yes but that's not an explicit confirmation that it isn't.
Pretty sure I've read a complete story about why it was not opening this season and it even talked about not opening for the winter season as well. Will try to find the article.
post the link if you do, there's a thread in the DH forum
I think this went ok, although I don't have that "I fuckin' killed it!" feeling like I had after my first interview with this company. I was a little nervous and couldn't really get into a good groove. They guy seemed to like me but I did not bring my A-game. Interview #3 with this place tomorrow, and I'll be ready.4:00 interview.
damn, looked all over, can't find shit. After re-reading the thread in the DH forum, it might have been that. So it might still happen after all, but they are pretty silent about it.
yea, it makes perfect sense. you need a large staff to run summer ops at a mountain that size, but at this point its still rumor.

Is that a cough I hear ? You might have a fever. For the benefit of your esteemed coworkers you should take a sick month or three. Get @Toshi to write you a note, in all math symbols with a chart of course.
I don't even have to be sick. It's "voluntary time off". Eligible for CO unemployment+trump bucks, airline continues to cover medical and dental, keep my flight benefits and seniority. I feel like I can't possibly be understanding this correctly because man it sounds too good to be true.
Can you elaborate?
You're in CO yes?
Ill have to check that out. Sounds better than still going to work just to be accounted for. Id rather do that over trying to find "busy work" to fill my day
As an unemployed person in Colorado who has been receiving unemployment insurance since December, and just got his first extra dollars deposits from the CARES act, I can confirm that your math is 100% correct. I'm now getting $1161/week being unemployed, which is more than enough to cover my monthly expenses actually. I got lucky when I bought my place so my mortgage is really tolerable, my truck is paid off, and I have no other debt asides from student loans.
The CARES Act approved an additional $600/week benefit to anyone who qualifies for unemployment, funded by the federal gov't and administered/distributed by the states alongside the normal state-funded benefits.
If you're able to qualify for unemployment, it's not terrible. I'm ready to go back to work though... I don't have health insurance or anything right now. Plus, I'll make more in my new chosen profession than UI nets me... though I am currently making more through UI than I made at my last job... about 16% more.
You don't pay any of this back in taxes. UI (unemployment Insurance) benefits are something that businesses pay into if I understand it correctly. Specifically businesses that lay off or fire people who then qualify for the benefit. Individuals pay into Social Security for themselves at a later date, businesses pay into UI. They're used for different scenarios of course, but no there's no paying anything back. This is the second time I've had to use UI.
Sounds like socialism to me
