lift queues and social distancing just can't work, hell this was Vail in Feb:
If there's a concern then they realistically need to dramatically reduce slope capacity, which will mean a massive bump to ski passes. (and it's probably too late already as I'm guessing some resorts have already sold their share of season passes based on last year's capacity)
No idea what to think/plan this winter. A lot of people are fearing a wave of the virus in autumn when colds/flu typically go around, and what that will do to flights, travel-restrictions, isolation-requirements and accommodation options, who knows?!? The only (likely) guarantee is that insurance companies will refuse to pay out for cancellations due to the virus.
A mate is trying to put together a trip to Japan, in the way he has for the last 2 years, and I'd love to head back there. But with virus concerns and being on furlough, I feel I need to wait and hopefully deadline it (after I've returned to work and I'm hopefully not looking at redundancy).
