This thread would be funny if it didn’t highlight how sad & desperate these “lawsuits” have become.

So I see emperor Mills has made it a class E Felony and a $1000 fine for violating her quarantine orders. Absolutely nuts, if they start charging folks with that, will absolutely kill SR and SL. Poor Saddleback, might kill them before they get themselves off the bench.

So for the time being, NH is the only "skiing state" not requiring people from New England to quarantine.
Looks like The Cat may be busier than usual

If you are that upset stick in NH.

From another thread, but apropos here. We live in a Mass. town that is currently in the green category for covid. We're probably less likely to bring covid to western Maine than someone from Portland. Are these resorts going to be economically sustainable this year with no out of state patrons? SR with only Mainers? Killington with only Vermont residents? Jay with only Vermonters and no Canadians? Maybe smaller places like Black and Abram might be better off. We can and do go to Loon midweek with our bronze pass. But with many others doing the same this year, weekdays might look like weekends. Might be time to look at places like Berkshire east, Catamount or Jiminy.
Maybe Maine will come to its senses when the snow begins to fly. Note that they relented on the Mass. ban just in time for the foliage season. I'm not too optimistic, though, as I see Thanksgiving and Christmas being major problems. I'm pissed because this is the year on our schedule at the Summit where we have the 2 consecutive weeks over Christmas. Usually we get enough rent those weeks to pay all our expenses for the year. Doesn't look like that will happen now. Happy holidays.

Ill add my two cents to this. I believe the ban will be lifted after Christmas. If not I expect several Mountains to close for good. There is no way they can survive with losing all last March and April then this year all season.
Also ski resorts will be forced to give out refunds if the ban is still in place. How the hell with SR do that with their non existing computer system? For those arguing no refund, i am being banned from going to Maine, alot different from last year. My heart goes out to business owners across NE, not many around any mountain will survive.
Just my 2 cents

I tested negative 3 weeks ago before my surgery. We'd be happy to take a test if you can find a place to get results back in 3 days.

Not giving you a hard time, it will take effort but it can be done. No one has banned (DMs) words, one up w negative test results or 14 day quarantine. It’s a balance. www.maine.gov/dhhs/mecdc/infectious-disease/epi/airborne/coronavirus/travel.shtml

Can't you also pull into a place in Scarborough and get a test "on the way" Seem to recall that was an option over the summer.

Adding a $140 fee for every weekend won’t work for many people. Not to mention the PIA. Tests aren’t free for leisure travel.

That depends on insurance. My test via UHC was free. I am not sure what to say but keeping Maine safe w precautions trumps skiing. Didn’t say I agree but there are ways to come to Maine. Not sure wheee you are getting $140 from but would like to know. We might all not agree but skiing is a non essential activity. I wonder how the snow brap crowd feels.
