saltyant Posted February 5, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2021 (edited) @eaf I did my patriotic duty to try and reduce the line for the greater good, and offered a single ski patroller to sit >6 feet away from me on the wiiiiide 4 person lift; he said he couldn't but was very polite about it. So we both rode our own chairs and made everyone wait an extra 15 seconds. Edited February 5, 2021 by saltyant 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not as hardcore as you so just did Upper Mackenzie instead which was challenging enough for me.

rgrwilco Posted February 5, 2021 Report Share Posted February 5, 2021 I’m jealous. I’ve never had a bad day at whiteface. Either powder or spring conditions. Tied for favorite in the east right now with smugglers notch. Whiteface might win due to lake placid area being awesome.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might look into doing the Notch tomorrow, though I have no idea if it gets crazy busy on a weekend. From what I understand it's off the beaten path and more people go to Stowe...?

So we both rode our own chairs and made everyone wait an extra 15 seconds. Nice try with 15 seconds. Think of it this way. If all were riding quads by themselves instead of in pairs 'cause they feel like it, you'd be standing 20 mins in line instead of 10. Ha, yesterday on my last way up I twice tried joining a pair on the six-pack. One said they'd let me in only if the liftie told them so. Grandma from the other one was even more resolute saying point blank they'd rather ride by themselves. Take your immunocompromised body to a nice XC trip in the woods, but don't play a selfish ass when the lines behind you are out of control! 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet growing up in the USSR you had to wait way longer for a loaf of bread than for the six pack...now I have this song stuck in my Herman.

saltyant Posted February 5, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2021 (edited) @eaf I have a grate idea. designate chairlifts as restaurants, then you can sit close by other people without masks! Restaurants create invisible barriers did ja know? Just dont sit in one place for 31 minutes or you might cost everyone their season Edited February 5, 2021 by saltyant 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just dont sit in one place for 31 minutes or you might cost everyone their season my understanding was that time limits give more people access to sit down and eat, not because you magically get sick at the 31 minute mark, regardless of what that sign might say or imply 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
