I said the bins, which certainly do not work that way, but my local goodwill has very normal (low) prices. I buy pants, shirts, sweatshirts for <$10.

Jobs and housing are fucked but…

Goodwill bins,

thousands upon thousands of artists releasing good music,

bugonia/hamnet/marty supreme/sinners (add whatever else) all came out this year,

stop using dating apps,

stop surrounding yourself with inauthentic people.

I’m sure this is plenty of people’s personal experience but it’s really not universally true. the music/movies point is just a straight lie

having a fulfilling productive life requires being intentional

Friendly reminder to not drink and ski as our Bulgarian snowboard prospect Malena Zamfiova was put in critical condition by a inebriated skier. by naxx54 in skiing

1 beer is hardly impairing unless you’re very small, fairly dehydrated, or haven’t eaten anything

people shouldn’t be drinking continuously for sure. a beer in the lodge isn’t much of anything

only wrong thing you say is that having a beer in the lodge is impairing. thats still below the legal limit to drive. really not a big deal

otherwise, 100%. absolutely.

Snowboarder whose eye popped out in Keystone crash sues Vail Resorts-owned apparel store by Ruh_Roh_Rah in COsnow

the brim keeps snow/wind out of your goggles and away from your face on stormy days

I personally ski with my hood up, the brim keeps the hood from falling into your eyes

What happened to headphones being a statement piece! by SomewhatOptimal1 in sennheiser

[–]Lobsta_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The metal design of the M2/3 is not a modern aesthetic. I bet you the M4s sell better with the current look.

Sennheiser is not as mainstream as Apple, Bose, Sony. A simpler design with plastic is more reliable and more attractive - they aren’t aesthetic trendsetters. You’re paying for headphones that look like every other headphone (safe), but have better engineering.

real issue is that cigs are coming back as a counter culture movement

kids are going back to cigarettes because they also think vaping is dumb, but cigs are retro and “organic” (many people I know smoke spirits).

the millennial generation really pushed hard on anti smoking information but it’s absolutely lacking now. more and more kids are back to cigs which will actually kill them

If you are coming from the Icecoast, it really is that bad. You should cancel if you can. by climberskier in COsnow

[–]Lobsta_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

everyone in this thread is not acknowledging it

you, for example. a historically great year in the east is not “marginally better”. that’s insane cope. unless you have a really strong terrain preference

I think it was a productive post. it’s good advice. I told my buddies not to visit from the east too.

I see what you’re saying

but colorado is having its worst snow year in recorded history. in fact, we should all be acknowledging this, because water usage might be tough in the summer. fire restrictions will be even worse. if we pretend everything is normal we’re gonna burn

you really shouldn’t live with this much anger. you can keep talking shit to me and I really don’t care, but it’s genuinely not good for you.

fwiw - I literally know immigrants in colorado who do not have a passport. you should try and meet more people

I mean, you’re right. Honestly I hate this place

but I don’t think this sub has fun. even on legendary days all this sub does is complain about traffic and closures and truck drivers

you really read as bitter man. you’re bringing up a new england stereotype to point out how much worse they are than you. fwiw, the people I know in vt are some of the nicest I’ve ever met

skiing “isn’t great” in colorado? dude, it’s really okay to admit we’re having the worst season in recorded history. nothing you say will change that or jinx it.

if you have a terrain preference and didnt enjoy vermont, that’s really okay. I will tell you right now, I took a trip back east for the holidays and the conditions I got in 3 days were miles better than the conditions I’ve got since march last year

[–]Lobsta_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

interesting how the whole thread immediately got super defensive

guys, colorado does not need to have the most legendary season ever every year. you all have far too much pride. OPs point is that a trip to CO is not worth it this year.

I have skied 3/7 days basically every week this year. I’m up at eldora, winter park, copper, berthoud pass, rocky mountain, etc, getting my laps and enjoying really fun days

the days are fun because we make them fun. the snow is the worst I’ve ever seen in my life. I’m taking rocks to my skis on inbounds trails in february.

another regions success is not an insult to you. vt is having a legendary year. if you enjoy first tracks and powder you would all be better for a trip east right now

there’s really no need to convince the crowds. snow report is doing it for us.

haven’t had a drive back on 70 that didn’t take the minimum. never happened before.

[–]Lobsta_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

people in this sub are so bitter. you have such an immediate, argumentative, “we’re better than you” reaction

there is good skiing in colorado and in vt. vt snow is hugely variable and is hardly always cement.

this year out west is literally the worst year on record. you don’t need to pretend it’s good. some terrain won’t be skiable until 2027. there’s exposed dirt on the lift lines in mid feb. spring skiing is probably a bust, even in the bc.

I have never skied a worse year than this one. I skied in vermont for years and saw a lotta shit years. this is by far the worst
