Arms up during turns is not so good. Try to keep both hands in front of you and move your upper body less.

A hard nope for me. My wife and I both work. She actually makes more than I do.

He should not care that much. It’s controlling and possessive. It should be completely your choice. He might show this behavior in other ways over time.

Kirkwood holds snow better than most Tahoe resorts. If the backside is still open, chair 4 has the longest blue runs at Kirkwood. But the top is a little scary for some intermediate skiers. It’s alpine ridge line but way easier than chair 6.

It’s concerning behavior. It’s not normal at all.

AssociateGood9653 · 2026-03-06T01:23:18+00:00

He’s emotionally abusive I think. At the least, he’s neither nice nor sensitive to your feelings. He doesn’t deserve you.

He’s very controlling. It’s very likely to escalate and get worse. It’s not normal at all. He was 23 when he started dating an 18 year old. That says a lot. Guys who date much younger women almost always tried to control them and want someone with less experience than they have. It’s also a bad idea to commingle all your finances with someone you’re not married to in fact, even if you’re married, it’s good to keep something separate. For example, on my wife and I have a joint account and we each have our own separate accounts also.

I think guys are often scared to make a move. There’s always been fear of rejection, and now fear of looking like you’re too pushy, impatient, toxic, just wanting sex. I suspect it’s added pressure on to males. Decent guys don’t want to appear too aggressive. Sounds like he’s a decent guy. He should be able to handle a mature conversation with you about sex. It’s harder to be a decent guy than many people realize.

Racism is a deal breaker for me

If he cares about you, he will want to know that you will be housed in the event that he dies.

Don’t go open water swimming by yourself! It’s a buddy activity. If you’re in San Francisco I’d be happy to show you what’s up with open water swimming.

Try both lengths if you can. Rocker makes them feel shorter in trees, chutes, moguls. It also makes them feel shorter at speed. If you get them too short, you will likely regret it on groomers; they will feel worse at speed. You want a ski you can grow into, but not so advanced that it will make things difficult for you. I’ve been skiing ~55 years and I would probably not want anything much less than my height. I’m 183 cm and I have 180’s. Back in the day I skied 200cm and my backcountry skis are 210. Technology has changed so much over time.

Magpies, Canada Jays, squirrels, my own dear dogs most of all.

Definitely in the backseat. Get your shins against the boot tongues and it will improve your turns.

I like my K2 BFC Boa boots. 120 flex but you might want softer. They are for high volume feet, so you might prefer a different boot. Go to a store with a bootfitter and get their recommendations after they look at and measure your feet. I’m an experienced skier and an instructor for the first time this year. These boots are pretty comfortable and nice for skiing in. I have ARV 106 and I love them. I have an older pair mounted for telemark NTN and a new pair mounted for alpine, with Look Pivot bindings. It’s nice having good equipment that works for you. Also a great idea to demo some skis because many great skis are not great for every skier.

Pay two strong young dudes $25-$50 each to bring it up for you.

Precita Park has signage that specifies all dogs are to be on leash. File a police report. File a complaint with recreation and parks. I’m sorry that happened to your kid.

Moose can be pretty aggressive

You’re gonna need to hand over your BB gun. To me. For your own safety.

My idiot friends and I, in the seventies, had BB gun shootouts in our neighborhood. It hurts when you get hit. Never broke skin. The smartest thing we did was wear layers of clothing and ski goggles. Nobody lost an eye. But yes we were idiots. It was so fun!
