No, photo lifted from a Powder Mag article a few years ago. Although I have spent time camping out of a 900 Turbo Hatch in the early 90's... "Who are the Grateful Dead and why do they keep following me?" Great road trip cars!

Count me in - currently lookin for a new truck to sleep in the bed of this season, hit me up if you guys hear of any sweet deals or have any tips on building out a camper.

Here's to staying positive and testing negative! Cheers, and pray for snow.

Be careful what you hope for. Do you think Vermont hills can survive on just the meager amount of people in Vermont who ski, doing day trips? At a certain point, they'll just shut it all down to save capital, if the governor doesnt do a mercy killing and do it first.
Dont expect too much snowmaking and grooming this season. That shit costs money.

Careful there -- you might sign up to take on someone else's problem child!

Also, I was too focused on the complete pdf file.
Lodging establishments also have the option of incorporating a check box for this statement (with no other documentation, reading, signing, etc.) into their own on-line forms:
"I certify that I have reviewed the State of Vermont out-of-state traveler guidelines and travel map and comply with current health and safety requirements for traveling to, from, and within the State of Vermont. I further certify that I understand all travelers should stay home if ill (with any symptoms); maintain physical distance of at least 6’ from anyone outside their household; wear a cloth mask when in public spaces; and wash or sanitize hands often."

Honestly yes. And the lack of grooming and snowmaking is welcome as long as we have a decent winter. It’ll keep the Jerry’s off the hill after the first time they realize what real skiing is.

Indy Pass is cool. You only get 2 days and their reimbursement model is very friendly to the ski areas. And they are all independents. I may get one as an add-on to my Magic pass just so I can get in a coupla days at Cannon and Pat's Peak is only 40 minutes from my telework office.

Would have been a real slow season for Jay; this will at least help them out with some extra revenue.

It is currently on the honor system who is allowed to visit the state. Lots of dishonorable people around all summer, not likely to change this winter. Problem is it seems most of the spread is from people gathering and hanging out in close proximity without masks with someone in their group infected. Sounds a lot like ski houses and the typical apres/dinner crowd, which will be more prevalent this season without bars at the resort being open, "hey lets all go to my condo for brews and hors d'oeuvres".

We'll see how it pans out over the next two months.

If you read the current Vt guidance on outside activity, it specifically states no tailgating & that a "arrive, play and leave" mentality is required.

If you could just drop the cash you would have normally spent in the coffee can at the state line visitor center, that would be great.

This gives me a great idea to buy an old state cruiser fix it up and charge everyone a $50 entrance fee at the border.

slashing their property tax assessment ought to help 'em out a little as well... not such a great thing for the Town of Jay if it means losing out on that income tho

We’re in the red in Essex county NY ( Lake Placid, Whiteface, Etc ) there was a big outbreak in a nursing home of something around 40-50 cases, other than that i think there is 5 in lake placid and 1 in my town. I rarely stay in Vermont, and have no horse in this race either way, but sometimes the numbers can be skewed quickly .
