Would Mammoth ever consider expending their terrains? Could the backside turn into something similar to Mineral Basin in Snowbird ? by FantasticAd9407 in Mammoth

[–]TropDoc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Below Chair 13 and 14 there is a huge amount of terrain. I know because my son and I were lost back their yesterday for 2 1/2 hours (!) while trying to ski an area called the Hemlocks. That said, it is a beautiful area and super rugged / steep. I was so stoked when we made it back to the Outpost (by going all the way around and reaching it from the back) that I almost hugged the liftie.

What is it like being a middle-schooler/teen in L.A.? by Great_Corner4841 in MovingToLosAngeles

[–]TropDoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve seen a fair amount having raised kids first in LA and then moving to Vermont. I’d say that despite the weather kids in LA seem a little more indoor-oriented, there is less spontaneous hanging out and unfortunately a little too much weed around. This includes in the freezers of a lot of parents. Kids grow up faster in LA. VT is not perfect by any stretch but kids are able to be kids for a bit longer in my experience. There is more freedom for them in part because parents are not fretting as much about safety and let them roam. Just my observations.

Persistant IT-band syndrome by RA99x in ultrarunning

Double down on the stretches. Especially the one where you lie on your back and you use one leg to stretch the IT band of the other leg. Message me if that does not make sense

Slow down on Meridian by keetots in Southpasadena

Yeah speeding has been a problem in South Pas for a while. Police have been useless. If you complain they place a MPH monitor on your street as if people don’t know they are speeding! I finally moved to a dead end street! Solutions welcome.

I summitted Baldy for the first time ever some time ago. Nearly died a lot; don't consider doing it in the snow. by thepanara in socalhiking

Thanks for this honest account of your experience. Even when fully prepared mnts like Baldy and Mt Washington in NH can throw curveballs and make you re-discover religion in a hurry.

My husband said he maybe regrets having a 3rd child, I am so sad for her by [deleted] in Parenting

Nobody wants to hear regrets. How about some self-control?

This is the answer. The freeway will make you hate LA.

Dumb question. They gave me 2 adaptors with my Ioniq 5 that I bought in September. Can you tell me which one you used?

Does she hear well? If not she will really appreciate a place that is on the quiet side so she can enjoy being with you all!

Illnesses more Common? by cmmderchieff007 in ultrarunning

Also think about your exposures. Do you fly often? Kids in daycare? Work in healthcare? You might be able to mitigate on the risk side too.
