As an american, my first reaction to restrictions is: "how can I skirt those because obviously I'm special"

And fortunately there are millions just like me.

See you soon canada! *cough*cough*

I'm sure Whistler social distancing lift lines would be short...

CO ski resort(s?) opened.

I realize that has little to do with Whistler.

Only A-Basin and you need a reservation, I think only 600 people per day - plus they're running out of snow rapidly.

I need to cancel Whistler flights and condo this week. United is allowing cancellation of flights to the end of May or something and the remaining balance on my condo reservation will be due next week

I'm sure that will be fine.

They must be betting on the province relaxing the rules even more by then. If you look around Vancouver now, you'd think Covid was never a thing.

some regions aren't impacted nearly as bad. here in pennsyltucky there are still 7 counties with fewer than 10 cases (there is one county that still only has 2). then again these counties are predominantly covered in forest.

That is true, I was at my cabin in Potter county over the past weekend and you would never know anything is even going on. Business as usual.

 

[manhattanprjkt83]

The only issues may be no border crossing and/or 2 week quarantine. Makes a 10 day trip sorta tricky. Might need to hire a coyote to smuggle me and my family to the promiseland.

That's my concern as well. Still planning on an early September trip at this point, hope we can make it happen.

at the beginning of May we still had counties that had no cases at all.

then again, the county i live in has more confirmed cases than some counties have people (my county has almost 6800 cases, second highest county by cases in the state). my township alone has 419 cases, which is more cases than 45 counties in PA (PA has 67 counties total.)

Same. Had a family trip planned for early July. Cancelled that. Have a trip planned with the boys in Sept. Still hoping to hit that if it works out.

 

[6thElement]

Just cancelled my condo and flights for early July. No Whistler, Sun Peaks and Silver Star trip for us this summer

 

[Bikael Molton]

Santas near Big Bear is now open too.

 

[shirk007]

I am hoping for open bike park and closed borders. Short lift lines and no braking bumps please.

 

[ChrisRobin]

I dunno... We'll see. If social distancing is still on, the lift line up will stretch down to the highway.

Lol no kidding. Prolly gettin 3 runs a day.

 

[Bikael Molton]

I’ve been waiting on a few very long distanced lines here. They move way quicker than they look...

 

[ChrisRobin]

Sounds like Whistler is opening up slowly...not necessarily the bike park, but the hotels and restaurants. Anyone local hear anything?

@FlipFantasia you live there, no?

/me has a hazy memory.

 

[ChrisRobin]

I'm in Van, which is still a world away... I thought there were some guys here that lived in Whistler or Squamish.

 

[Toshi]

Sorry, the "you" was for FlipFantasia. @Da Peach lives in Van as well, and Fraser, whatever his username is, is in Squamish iirc.

 

[kidwoo]

Just fyi if I can figure out a way to get into canada this summer, I'm not coming back.....and it has nothing to do with the stupid bike park and everything to do with finding the asylum application.

[FlipFantasia]

I'm not hearing anything much other than sometime around canada day, but those rumours have been around for the past month or so...I'm still not interested in standing in lift lines even if they do somehow manage to do it.

 

[Da Peach]

I've not been to the park in about 3 years, so I haven't paid much attention.

If it were open, I'd likely avoid it anyway.

I am considering heading up with the family to doddle around the lost lake trails on bikes and support some of the local businesses though. Perhaps a long weekend or something.

 

[kazlx]

Santas near Big Bear is now open too.

Santa's doesn't have a lift, so a bit different situation. Summit is opening Friday, so it will be interesting to see how all that goes.

 

[Bikael Molton]

True. The new place is open with lifts already.

The small bike park near Toronto, which opened two weeks ago, has already had the police show up to tell "them" (not sure if the park itself or the patrons) to respect physical distancing. They've also had at least two broken collarbones, a punctured lung and one guy who concussed himself pretty good.

Great start.

 

[ZHendo]

I'm wondering what trails Whistler will actually open this year. That ER has more traffic than I've ever seen, never been myself but have taken a few buddies and its truly a shitshow even on a week day. They have to be talking about how to mitigate risk, opening everything and just hoping for the best won't fly...

 

[FlipFantasia]

sorry not sorry, yanks

Exclusive: Canada, U.S. set to extend border closure to end-July - sources

Canada and the United States are set to extend a ban on non-essential travel to late July as both countries seek to control the spread of the coronavirus, according to three sources familiar with the matter.

[djjohnr]

I wouldn't let us in either.

 

[xy9ine]

i don't spend much time in the park these days, but the thought of (potentially) non-mobbed lift lines is enticing. that said, i've never seen the local trails so busy, so even without the help of our southern friends, i'd expect things will still be swarming (esp. with some sort of social distancing protocols in place).

 

[kidwoo]

Watch how much I deserve naturalization: "I hope you guys have fun in the absence of our American mob scene. I understand your concerns and won't insert myself out of pure selfishness and entitlement"


See? Is that the most canadian/unamerican thing you've heard or what? Somebody marry me so I can get out of here.

Oh yeah: sorry

How's Canada feel about polygamy? I want in.

I wish @MMike still posted here so I could make creepy jokes about his available family members.


Actually......@Da Peach, how YOU doin?? Wanna see a size 2 megatrail in person? Like every day in your garage?

Throw a few moar "eh?" in there and I'm sure you'll qualify for something like the Olympics basketball team.

BC is all about polygamy, like Utah 'bout it.

Mah MAN!

Let me come on up and you can tell me all bout them magic plates! I plan on snowmobiling a lot so I'll even put on the underwear!

 

[boylagz]

Big Bear/Snow Summit opened yesterday. Couple of buds rode, its a small hill and not too many trails, its good enough, will check back in on how the lift lines were shlt, or not shlt...
