Is that how you respond constructively during a meeting at work? I know I don’t talk to people that way, and people that talk to me that way don’t get my respect.
You are quite right regarding the tone of my response. Let me apologize and re-phrase. It is also widely reported that this is absolute nonsense. How can you not know this? And yes I am highly biased towards objective science rather than climate change promoters' junk science.

Some trails are open now with limited use. I'll try to head to Conestoga Lake and go for a spin.

Was at Glen Eden hiking around today. Noticed they’re making snow and we’re moving fire wood and outdoor fireplaces around the parking lot near the warm up huts. Found it odd so much activity was happening. Was their news on ski reopening? I didn’t see anything.

To our Tremblant community,
Following the government's announcement made on February 2nd, some services and activities will resume as of February 8.The boutiques located in the pedestrian village can reopen and organized outdoor activities will again be permitted with certain restrictions. Ski lessons will be offered to a maximum of 4 participants from different households plus the instructor, keeping the 2-meter physical distance. Private and semi-private ski lessons will also be permitted. Details are available in the Snow School section.Those are the changes impacting our operations. The rules for boarding the lifts remain unchanged as well as restaurants, which remain closed, with the exception of takeout and delivery service.

^ Booked. But likely canceling as we just got back last night from a last minute trip, hard to justify two weekends in a row. Conditions were some of the best in years.

Ugh, that sucks.

Per the news today, It looks like Blue is going to open back up on the 16th. Fingers crossed.

And for the ski lessons. if your trying to get a kid into lessons. They may have to be self-loading, or at an age and size that they don’t need help. Otherwise you may be required to ski with them. Both my kids are instructors, they need to social distance, house bubbles on the chairs, or singles on the lift. Fingers crossed for Ontario hills opening next week.
