Instead, this is a story about the week leading up to my 100th day and what has happened since.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">The quest for 100 days and subsequently the coveted pin that goes with that achievement is something that many avid skiers and snowboarders in the Roaring Fork Valley prioritize in their winter season goals.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">In The Aspen Times office there were four or five of us gunning to hit the 100-day mark (if not more than, by the time the season was suppposed to end). Some days we held each other accountable, encouraging a work break to get on the mountain, while other days we took solo excursions to get out of the office and onto the lifts, enjoying solo shred sessions and the mental break that skiing and snowboarding brings.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">March in the mountains started off relatively normal as stories of coronavirus in America and Colorado didn\u2019t begin dominating local news networks until March 5 or so.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">On March 1, Aspen Times Editor David Krause and I met up at the Silver Queen Gondola at Aspen Mountain to document locals getting their 100-day pins on the 100th day of the Aspen-Snowmass season. While neither of us were a part of that elite group, we did discover that it was his 67th day on the mountain and my 88th day, the year that each of us, respectively, were born. We celebrated this fun coincidence in numbers with pancakes and hot wine at Bonnie\u2019s.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">Life on the mountain seemed to go on as normal for the first few days of March; there were parties at Buckhorn Cabin to attend, light crowds in the morning that swelled to larger crowds as visitors woke up and stumbled to the lifts and apr\u00e8s scenes at which to be seen.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">Then, after the first case of coronavirus with ties to Aspen \u2014 an Australian who was vacationing in Aspen had returned home and tested positive for coronavirus \u2014 was reported March 8 on aspentimes.com, some things started to change.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">Monday, March 9, was noticeably quieter than other early mornings despite the fresh 2 or 3 inches of snow. I chalked up the low skier attendance to spring conditions that made the snow early in the day hard and crunchy, and assumed people were waiting until the snow softened to come out. I even noted this in \u201cThe Drop-In\u201d I filmed that morning (I\u2019m also one of the hosts of The Aspen Times\u2019 on-mountain video series, \u201cThe Drop-In\u201d).<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">One quick note of my ski routine: Since The Aspen Times is located in downtown Aspen, I typically ski Aspen Mountain on the weekdays because it\u2019s the most convenient for office ski breaks. On a normal day I get to the gondola around 8:45 or 9 a.m. to make some early tracks before things get too crowded.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">The next day, after news broke that some of the Australian woman\u2019s travel companions were in self-quarantine in Aspen and were being tested for COVID-19, mountain attendance seemed even more sparse in the morning, but spirits were still high. The mountain felt similar to how it does prior to the holidays: where just locals are out but there is underlying anticipation that everything is about to get hectic.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">On Wednesday, March 11, I was at Snowmass helping film a \u201cDrop-In.\u201d Crowds seemed to be normal for a mid-week ski day as evidenced by the fact the Village Express line was steady and my coworkers and I were loaded onto the six-pack lift with three strangers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">I was pulled from filming duty midway through our video shoot with the Aspen Divas synchro skiing team to help deal with breaking news about positive test results of COVID-19 in Aspen.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">One of the ski instructors working with the group asked about the results and expressed concern about having to cancel the synchro skiing competition on Aspen Mountain in April if things continued to get worse, but otherwise, it was just another day on the mountain.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">By Thursday, March 12, Aspen Skiing Co. had dug out the Little Nell ski lift at the base of Aspen Mountain to give skiers and snowboarders the option to avoid the gondolas, although not many people were taking them up on this offer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">When I noticed Little Nell running, I asked one of my co-workers heading to the mountain for the afternoon to inquire why they were running it, since at the time Skico had not made an official statement.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">The lifties response was that it was a nice day out so they were running the lift, no mention of coronavirus.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">Other noticeable changes were lifties had stopped taking people\u2019s skis or offering assistance loading and unloading from the gondola, or if they were helping, they were wearing latex gloves for protection. Riders were giving more space in line and not as quick to jump into gondolas with people they didn\u2019t know.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">The conversations at the base of the mountain had shifted, as well. More talks about the virus, speculation about what would happen, and less light-hearted talk about the weather and snow conditions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">It was around this point I wondered if shutting down the mountain was a distinct possibility. We joked in the office about how it would be funny if the mountains shuttered after my 99th day, leaving me one shy, while somewhere in the back of my mind I was convinced this would happen.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">Once Friday morning rolled around, Day 99 for me, full protocols were in place on the mountains.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">The gondolas were being deep cleaned every night, a practice that had begun earlier in the week.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">A sign at the Silver Queen Gondola load station (a sign of the times, if you will) read \u201cCabin Preference? Let the lift operator know.\u201d This gave riders the opportunity to request a private cabin, something I know many Aspenites have wanted to be able to officially do for years.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">A women near me in line told her husband that she wanted to wait for an empty gondola, even if it meant a longer wait, because of the virus.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">The same was true for the chairlifts. For the most part, no unaffiliated parties were riding together and many chairs were loaded with just one rider.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">Hindsight is 20\/20, but there was an uneasy feeling in the air, that while we were all going through the motions and acting like things were normal, everything was about to come to a head.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">To address the virus in the room, in Friday\u2019s \u201cDrop-In\u201d video, my co-host Kelsey and I discussed social distancing and the precautions that Skico was taking in light of the coronavirus, and I think we honestly thought that the new rules were good enough to keep us skiing until the end of the season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">Day 100 came and went in a blur. I enjoyed a ride up the gondola with two friends and coworkers, grabbed breakfast at Bonnie\u2019s and skied some surprisingly awesome snow.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">Everybody seemed cautiously optimistic, stoked on good snow conditions and the start of the weekend but all around conversations inevitably turned to the coronavirus topic.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">People in line at the Ajax Express chairlift noted how the lines were made up of more than 50 people, in defiance of new social distancing rules. Someone even jokingly yelled out, \u201cSomeone call (Colorado Gov. Jared) Polis, there are more than 50 people in this line,\u201d to which one of his friends replied, \u201cGood luck trying to shut us down, Polis.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">The mountain was crowded, it was almost like we all knew this was the end. Or perhaps in a time when things were out of our control, everybody flocked to the mountains, the one thing that seemed stable.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">That evening, when the lifts stopped, Skico announced mountain operations were suspended due to an order from Polis.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">On Friday, March 20, one day after Polis extended the ski mountain closures until April 6, Skico officially called it and announced the season was over at Aspen Mountain and Snowmass.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">\u201cWith the extension of statewide closures, we are officially calling it a season at Aspen Mountain and Snowmass,\u201d said Jeff Hanle, Skico vice president of communications.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">While Hanle said there is a chance Aspen Highlands could reopen, \u201cif we are given advice that we can reopen sometime late in April by state and local health agencies, we would evaluate conditions for a limited opening,\u201d it\u2019s hard to put much stock into that happening.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">So assuming the official ski season is over, 142 people earned their 100-day pin this year, according to Skico. Nineteen of those people, myself being one of them, ended with exactly 100 days.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">Although the lifts may be shut down, many in town, myself included, can still be found trudging up the mountain on an uphill setup or splitboard, taking advantage of the snow that remains. Some are still gunning to 100 days and counting their uphill sessions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">We won\u2019t get pins highlighting our accolades for all the extra days we earned our turns, but we will get a feeling of personal accomplishment, a moment of mental clarity and a reprieve from the uncertain state of things we now find ourselves living in and the crazy town below the mountains that we\u2019ve all chosen to ride it out in. \u2022<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aspentimes.com\/magazines\/aspen-times-weekly\/skiing-in-the-time-of-coronavirus\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: The Aspen Times<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A man skis down on the closed Buttermilk resort on Friday, March 20, 2020.
