as VT looked a less and less likely option over past months, i was thankful for the berkshires. turned out i was dreaming.
but the snow will come and in-state skiing will be all the rage
can't wait.
+1 on mtbiker's words above.
and to paraphrase his motto :
distanced but not apart.
Dealing with the lack of snow.

Massachusetts Travel Restrictions: Vermont Removed From Exempt List
msn.com - 4 hours ago
BOSTON (CBS) — Vermont is no longer considered a “COVID lower-risk state” by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health. Beginning Saturday, Massachusetts will require people traveling from Vermont to fill out a travel form and then quarantine for 14 days upon arrival in the state.
States qualify as lower-risk when their daily cases per 100,000 are below 10 and the positive test rate below 5%, both measured as a 7-day rolling average.
The only state remaining on the travel order exempt list is Hawaii, which has been deemed as lower-risk.
Outside of Hawaii, anyone coming into Massachusetts from a different state needs to fill out a travel form and quarantine or provide a negative COVID-19 test from within 72 hours of your arrival. Failure to comply could result in a fine up to $500.

•$750,000 Canadian peso fine
•6 months in jail
•evicted from Canukastain for 1 year
FIFY
Strong work C!Quote:

i took advantage of the balmy night and rode about 26miles on first ride in 17 days. legs felt surprisingly great after too long a stretch. 9th consecutive month biking. the new ski season-length pursuit. hope to bike AND ski in bike month 10.
You’ve been preaching walling off Vermont with quarantines and you are now complaining about this? What did you expect man?Quote:

Skiing-wise worst Thanksgiving in many years. Revenge of stick season.
It’s a horrid piece of perhaps well deserved humble pie.Quote:

Nope, was going to try to get to Tremblant until I saw the penalties. I figured someone needed some medical/humanitarian help at Tremblant :)Quote:

After all the outrage a month ago?Quote:

even more to the point, canada has kept the border to its largest trading partner, bff nation closed for a good reason. to keep the 'vid OUT. it i'm guessing most canadians know by now how to appeal to those who won't stay out ;0]Quote:

Surprising number of weekend seasonal folks around this weekend. Maybe they're here for the long haul and sheltering for Thursdays opening.
I think part of the border closing is Quebecs desire to clear out teh Anglophones from its midst. ;)

Bromley got a frosting this afternoon (observed from a distance); east side trails looked somewhat covered about 2/3 of the way down.
Made an epic reservation at Mt. Snow tomorrow. Last I looked, Freefall on the North Face was open. I'll do 10 laps and then get the fuck outta there. If anybody else is going, PM me.
