    Is EasternSierraForum.com archived?

    No archive or workaround AFAIK. OTOH I have a photographic memory -- we can always get a thread or two going, or Q&A threads if something's worth recalling. If we can get some other alums to show up, I'll write a couple stories that had nothing to do with me but were actually magical in...

    Mountain Collective/Ikon/Epic 20/21.

    Exactly. That's why you wouldn't wanna pick one that woulda been long-since closed anyway by April 11 like Snowshoe. And if there's a Vermont drought a place like Stratton mighta been closed anyway much more likely than Sugarbush, so even if ya tended to go to Stratton you'd be smarter to have...

    Mountain Collective/Ikon/Epic 20/21.

    I picked S***w Valley Alpine Meadows re Adventure Assurance. How bout all y'all? One of the things I looked at was historical closing dates. This site tho not totally accurate seemed to consolidate the data well enough to help with the guess... https://www.snowpak.com/opening-and-closing-dates...

    The big Corona Virus Shutdown

    111 days after this quote... I wish the wishful thinking in this disaster of a thread were true, but the current US Case Fatality Rate is 4.5%. https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/data/mortality" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; On another note, you people and your conspiracy theories are...

    Mt. Baldy Reopens April 22, 2020

    If it really is no grooming, that's the best social distancing ever. Kooks'll show up, do 3 or 4 runs, and bail for lack of skills (shoulda taken lessons when they were offered)...

    The big Corona Virus Shutdown

    Folks, it's just common sense... If you isolate too soon you can always re-assess. If you isolate too late you can't undo the decision. There's examples of both in other parts of the world, already.

    The big Corona Virus Shutdown

    I hope you're right re 0.6% and there's lotsa good points in that article from Stanford. I've always liked cooking so I sure ain't gonna go out for restaurant food. Restaurant workers are some of the poorest and least benefit-compensated (like paid sick time).

    The big Corona Virus Shutdown

    That's the complete opposite of what I wrote. No, I'm advocating that the Case Fatality Rate is a simple equation. You want it to be different for Covid, than any other disease, or mishap, or whatever can have a CFR. Mrs. Trudeau Kevin Durant the other 2 NBA ballers Tom Hanks Miami Mayor...

    The big Corona Virus Shutdown

    vanhanbr, somehow what I wrote was confusing. I'm not saying car crash statistics don't exist. I'm saying the mortality percentage of car crashes is a simple formula... # of car crashes with a fatality / # of car crashes Do you see the denominator there? It wouldn't include car crashes that...

    The big Corona Virus Shutdown

    To add, it's almost like taking really bad news (lack of test capability) and deciding that that's good news. Reminds me of the arsehole I know who had the flu on Monday (2+ weeks ago) and went to work on Wednesday. Then discovered it progressed to pneumonia the next Monday and inexplicably...

    The big Corona Virus Shutdown

    LOL if that were true I'd expect to see it re cancer or car crashes in some study. Carry on.

    The big Corona Virus Shutdown

    It's hard to believe this illogic keeps getting repeated. Mortality rate is a statistic with a simple formula. Covid, cancer, car crash, whatever -- the deniminator would NEVER include unreported, holy cow...

    Mountain High, Jan. 23, 2020

    I need to get to Mountain High, it definitely looks fun! To ski these surfaces too slow wouldn't work at all, otherwise it's like a railroad track and the liftriders all enjoy the show. Every time in January there's at least one good sunny ungroomed run and several in the shade. P.S. Which...

    Mountain High, End of Liz' Ski Season?, Jan. 8, 2020

    Oh no, get well soon Liz! What's the deal with filling prescriptions? When I open up the bottle all I see is somebody had to count out 28 pills, yet it takes longer than if they had to milk cobra venom or something. Can you imagine if you pay the pharmacist in cash, and now he has to count out...
