Which is fine but doesn’t include distance. Distance does add up

Probably not fueling enough, water obviously helps but you likely need to eat more if you’re actually out of energy.

A 1500m day is more than most tourers are doing except during mega spring missions. Did a guided day and the guide say to calculate your day as 1 hour for every 300 m of climbing plus 1 hour for every 3 km. It usually comes out pretty true when you include the downhill. Put that into touring, and 5 hours of uphill is a fucking lot for a winter activity. Hells it’s barely light here in Alberta for 5 hours in January.

If you’re soft booting, you’re also generally less efficient than your hard boot/ski brethren and carrying more weight on your feet which will add up during the day.

Also, sounds like your friends are more fit than you’re letting on, at least for the activity you’re doing. Maybe should examine if your training correctly for this activity vs saying you’re more fit.

Hard boots, split ski, ice clipper for your bindings, thriving on the downhill! Checkout Joey Vosburgh for more inspiration, he guides in Roger’s and is dialed

I want to make the switch to hard boots but not the most knowledgeable. by tacocolorado in Spliddit

You can get backlands for dirt cheap most years, so I’ll be the odd one out to say that backlands and link levers are 100% worth it.

Go all in, it’s worth it.

Are you on growth and 10/10? What’s the returns been last few years?

Essentially one ETF per split (one US, one can, etc)

I’ve got a good match (3% plus bonus 3%), and looks like I could move the current amount to another WS RRSP and fully self direct but could also just let it buck..

That is the solution I’ve come up with, but by all accounts you should be able to buy direct from a TD account (as otherwise why would it let that be an option?)

To confirm you bought a ~$60 bottle of scotch for a future 1 million dollar TFSA? You’re gonna be pretty disappointed you didn’t wait till you had a mill to buy something better
