The various mountains are talking about opening the lifts for skiing, but not any of the facilities in order to preserve social distancing
Which does prompt me to wonder how you manage having several hundred people on a hill with no potential shelter if the weather turns
Our mountains here are planning on kind of building an incline out of snow that goes from the mountain all the way out into the parking lot and having people ski to their cars, and use them as personalized warming huts, a place to eat, etc.

Interesting idea
I'm not sure that's doable here. Most of the larger areas (Glenshee, Glencoe, Cairngorm) pretty much require you to base yourself at a mid station quite a distance from the car park to access most of the pistes
The funicular railway at Cairngorm that would usually take people from one to the other isn't running at the moment
Plus, Glenshee and Cairngorm are distributed over multiple valleys some of which you can't get out of by just descending, you need to take a lift up and over into the next valley to access a route back to the base station
All of which is why I'm kind of worried. There's a long standing issue with the access at Cairngorm that means in heavy weather you can actually strand yourself in one of the adjacent gullies fairly easily if the lift that takes you out is suspended, which usually involves waiting it out in the cafe, but if that's closed...

This is the arrangement of smaller new england ski mountains, with the parking lot, then the base lodge, then all the lifts starting in a central area.

I've been wondering about a thing.
There's street parking around here where we live and most areas there's one day of the week you can't park there because they sweep the street. So like just outside here it's mondays you can't park there during work hours. Then as a master rule, you can't park anywhere in the area for more than 7 days in a row.
There are a few prime-real-estate spots where there is no street sweeping and so you can park there for the full 7 day period.
How do they keep track though? Like is it feasible I could get fined if I park in one of those for 8 days? I know for a fact that they do not check daily and I am within my full right to go out for an errand and then luck upon the same spot again. Maybe I parked somewhere else for a day they didn't check, but then when they come around I'm in the same spot again. They don't know.
Right?

No court would convict if I got fined and contested?
Maybe this is a dumb question, but do ski resorts usually have their main lodging facilities up high or down low?

JFC there was apparently an incident a few weeks back where two guys blew up due to a completely random explosion. That city has now concluded it was a "blast coffin" which they say is a concrete thing where they used to discard explosives.
And now after going through records they've identified a couple of other ones, one under a recycling center and a couple that were buried along a running path. Just random forgotten coffins filled with explosives and dynamite that nobody remember having put there.

I’m sure in most cases it’s -just- poisonous and carcinogenic as stuff decomposes but with bad luck I guess it explodes like in this case.
I understand random bombs in Europe what with the wars but maybe here they didn’t need to manually create bombs to catch up.

I'm watching Kitchen Nightmares and my favorite aspect, be it the UK version or US version, is how business owners ask Ramsay for help, then when he starts to give them help they get defensive and insist that they're "okay actually."
Right as I was thinking that sentiment, the chef on this episode started yelling at his friend (the business owner) with exactly what I said.

Like, you could write something like that into a cyberpunk/dystopian novel
Or use it as a plot device in an RPG set in the real world like Shadowrun or one of the Noun: the Verbening games

Lady Raven got me some stuff off the Steam sale as an early Xmas gift and because I'm generally a great husband, I assume.
Boneworks is my first VR game to control like a regular FPS instead of that weird teleport "blink" movement solution that HL: Alyx employs and uh... now I understand why Alyx does that. Holy shit is it disorienting to have your body move around while you don't actually move! Think I'm gonna be playing it sat down...

Even as someone who doesn't experience motion sickness at all in reality? Yeah, VR FPS movement is basically a nightmare.
I assume it's something I could probably eventually adjust to via repeated exposure but I don't think it'd be worth it.
It's 2020, the real question I have these days is why aren't powered exoskeleton's being sold at local hardware stores. I feel like there should be some moderately expensive thing you plug like, 8 of some brand's lithium-ion batteries into that lets you lift heavier weights.

The last time I looked into it? Fitting.
You really don't want something that's really powerful putting pressure on on joints in the wrong way. Especially not repeatedly.

But yeah if you have a situation where you have multiple isolated bases and lifts can close, that's an issue.
