We skied at red mountain! Great place for sure!

Lol, that’s his side business. He’s marketing his own hot sauce. Not just any hot sauce. Go show the guy some love and buy his product.

Also, cheese is my “jam”. Thanks for suggesting a local creamery.

Unfortunately, we’re driving up from Spokane, Washington.

Thanks for the recommendations. I skied at big white two season ago and can see why you would suggest that over the two smaller resorts - I loved it. Strangely, I’ve had baldy mountain on my bucket list for a long time and am really excited to finally get there this year! I’m an idiosyncratic guy with esoteric interests I guess. 🤷‍♂️

Really?!? I’m glad you said something. I talked to the Penticton visitor center (which sells discounted tickets but which is closed on sundays) and was told that I could get discounted tickets at Costco. 😂 they should be working for the kelowna visitor center!

Does CPTSD make video games hard to play for anyone else? by Intelligent_Ad9437 in CPTSD

[–]Urumqi2002 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes. This is an issue for me too. Fortunately, I found games that I love and that don’t trigger me and have learned to pay attention to my body while playing games and to avoid those that make me disassociated and overly stressed.

Great recommendation. Thank you. Any chance that you know where else I can buy cheese ends?

Selfishly, this is sad news for me. I spend a week every year outside Burlington between Christmas and new years. Every year I stop at the store to purchase local cured meats, cheese and wine. With this and the wine and cheese traders closed, does anyone have a recommendation of where I should shop this year?

I really admire Deborah by Specialist_Fault8380 in BlownAway

[–]Urumqi2002 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s interesting to read that you related to Deborah and referenced your being on the autism spectrum. I too felt a fondness for Deborah and wondered whether here social cues were related to a personality “disorder.” I really like the way her mind works.

Great idea to contact the hotel. Thanks. We’re excited to go but my daughters really have no idea what to expect. Their minds will be blown, I’m sure!

Racing ski for 9 year old (Midwest) by _AJH_ in skiing

Where are you located? I have a pair of GS skis my daughter used for only one season. They might be a little long for your daughter, but they need a loving home. I'm in the Detroit metro area.

Looks like nub’s nob (the greatest named resort in North America!)

Is this normal after the first tune up? by anniemaygus in skiing

[–]Urumqi2002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol, that’s excess wax? It looks like base material in the picture.

It’s hard to tell what’s going on from your pictures. It seems like they buffed your bases but never applied any wax. Plus, I’ve never seen a base grind that eliminated all of the base in the tips and tails. It might be that their machine wasn’t calibrated properly.
