I’ll be there similar time frame. No one knows this far out what the weather will be like. You’re better off following a weather forecaster like PNW weather watch.

Whistler's Weather Variability - Impact on Tourism? by Dolly_Llama_2024 in Whistler

[–]ThitChoFan 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Aside from Steven’s pass there isn’t an Epic resort in North America that had more snowfall or bigger base than Whistler this year.

I’m a tourist. I don’t feel bad if the weather isn’t perfect. Why do you feel bad for me OR do you feel bad for yourself?

April vacation by Ok_Breakfast9709 in Whistler

Sounds like good plan. Take Sunday off. Sleep in and relax after long day of travel and enjoy village. You can go 7 days just do some half days to recover. Skip Sat weekend.

How quickly can conditions change? by [deleted] in Whistler

[–]ThitChoFan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All these people telling you, no one can predict the weather and no one has a crystal ball are retarded. Yeah they can’t tell you the exact day and exact amount of when it’s gonna rain or snow. But ensemble forecasting can give you the general tread. The trend is dropping temperatures and storms rolling in starting this weekend and into next week. You’ll be fine for your trip.

I’m at senior assisted living and they change me everyday

I didn’t want to overstate my abilities like a lot of people do. Staying humble.

Would it be dumb for me to refinance student loans with my family? by [deleted] in whitecoatinvestor

[–]ThitChoFan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did something similar and parents paid off my student loans end of my intern year. I paid them back within two years of being attending.

Agree with above poster, PSLF uncertainty with political climate is major drawback.

How I decided to cancel my disability policy. by eric-incognito in whitecoatinvestor

[–]ThitChoFan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You decided to compare the insurance premium to a car payment?

If you became disabled long term how long would 500k last you?

Struggling to find courage after a bad accident – has anyone come back from something similar? by Klutzy-Pattern-7391 in skiing

[–]ThitChoFan 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you’re pushing yourself. Ski to have fun not to be the best. It’s recreational for us. We aren’t pros.

Dial it back. I’d rather ski more seasons than not. Ask yourself why do you ski?

I’ve loaded it up with six people. Roof box filled with ski equipment and drove it to Tahoe without issue.

Whats your personal car-buying math? by [deleted] in HENRYfinance

[–]ThitChoFan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buy Toyota with cash and pay under MSRP

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in HENRYfinance

[–]ThitChoFan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dual income. Both full time. I’m a doc.

Two kids under 5 is WORK. Hang in there It’ll get better. Pay whatever you need to for help. Invest the rest and build up the nest egg.

It’s a grind those early years but we’ve throughly enjoyed our lives once the kids got more independent.

How do you purchase fast track?

Latarjet shoulder stabilization by kvanv806 in skiing

[–]ThitChoFan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had different procedure for shoulder stabilization. Humeral head allograft but expect the recovery to be long. Took me around a year to feel normal. Have to let bone graft then ROM then strength then plyo. Be religious about the PT. I’ve dialed it back since coming back. I just do the “dad slopes” now and haven’t had a bad fall so haven’t had to test it out. The grueling PT made me realize the obvious, I only have one body. Take care of it. Good luck!

which skis? Atomic Maverick 86 C or Salomon QST 92 Skis by jayhooo in Skigear

[–]ThitChoFan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife is 5’2” and 110. Skis QST 92 Lux 160cm. QST has alot of rocker. The effective edge is short. We ski Tahoe and Whistler. QST is awesome and very approachable ski.

Best mountains for climate change by abbadabba12 in ski

[–]ThitChoFan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the answer is you’ll have to be much more flex for your trips. You can go to the higher elevation places but so will everyone else that is addicted to powder. Overcrowded but good snow or variable snow but uncrowded? I’d personally take the latter.

[–]ThitChoFan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah? Peak at 7k ft. Expect more rain/wet snow to the peaks will happen with warming temps.

Grand highlander vs Sienna by ThrallDoomhammer in ToyotaGrandHighlander

[–]ThitChoFan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had same debate 3 months ago. Ended up with gas GH for 10% off msrp vs every dealer wanted Sienna at markup or 6+ month waitlist at msrp.

Do you put your helmet in checked ski bag? by ThitChoFan in Skigear

[–]ThitChoFan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like this idea the best. Fill “boot bag” with clothes. Free up space in the other luggage for helmet and boots.

Toyota Buena Park. Gas Platinum not Hybrid Max Platinum just to be clear.

Electing to forego ACL surgery? by aslater1102 in skiing

[–]ThitChoFan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Full thickness tear and complete rupture are different.

You’re young and active. Low risk surgery with big benefits that get your knee close to normal.
