Assuming no tele-learning classes, I suggest going skiing midweek!  No crowds, etc.  And at Snowshoe at least, snowy slopes thanks to aggressive snowmaking!!!  Should be some great deals!

Maybe ok if you avoid the lodge, shuttles, bathrooms, food service, etc.

Vail Resorts shutting down for 8 days starting tomorrow. Wouldn't be surprised if Alterra follows. http://news.vailresorts.com/corporate/update-on-coronavirus-from-vail-resorts.htm

Alterra closed until further notice. Frankly, this makes sense.

Wow. Up until a couple days ago my son and I were planning on a trip to Snowshoe this Sunday. We had already decided not to go but we know several people who are out there for the weekend.
