Are the s. PA ski hills really packed on Mondays?

Yes. You are supposed to test within 3 days of coming I think. Why people who take Covid seriously think it is fine to disregard this is beyond me (for those lax on Covid I am not surprised).

If you arrive at 9:30 you should be fine.

If you go to Jack Frost, there is a ski rental place a mile before the slopes. Prices are lower, lines much shorter.

Nobody cares about those rules, Karen.

And if you are already not masking and going about your life normally then fine - I’m not going to try to argue with you. But some of the same people on here that are zealous about masking and Covid are the same ones flouting PA’s effort to keep their numbers more in check by blowing off the testing rule. It’s just incredibly selfish.
Why do I care? I have a ton of relatives in PA so people ignoring their rules makes the state more dangerous for my family that live there.

Rent at a local ski shop before you go.

This makes no sense. I wear a mask and am all for wearing masks, work from home and don't do anything crazy risky in terms of COVID. I also break the testing rule every weekend to ski in PA. The 3 day testing rule is useless and not protecting anyone. Just a a false sense of security. A test 3 days before entering is just 15 min covid free snapshot and stupid.

If out of state skiers are such a risk, Pennsylvania should shut down its ski resorts. But they won’t, since the businesses want the revenue and the governments want their taxes.

Pennsylvania can’t have it both ways.

It's not a risk. Me driving 7 miles into PA to ski and not interacting with anyone from PA because literally everyone who skis and works there is from DC, MD and VA is not driving the covid rates in PA.
Karen just loves to complain

Enough with the theater. If it was more than theater, PA would enforce it.

FWIW - Whitetail was packed today.

I mean, we're going up to Elicotville to ski with friends from Ohio over Presidents' day. Our friends have a house there, and they just laughed when asked if we need to worry about NY's quarantine rules. The Sheriff told them he's not going to enforce the rules, because if he did he'd lose the next election. The area depends heavily on ski tourism.

It's all just theatre. The only states that have meaningful, enforceable quarantine rules are Hawaii and Alaska, for obvious reasons.

Ah it's you again. You have been gathering indoors with several families for months. That's not what's being discussed here.

My guess is because there aren't hot spot and cold spot states anymore. All states are in the "unchecked community spread" category now, so the state mandates are either going away or a bit illogical.

Right. What difference do State borders make, in the current situation? The virus is everywhere, more or less equally.
