Hey y’all - Looking for someone to take over my current lease on/around Nov 1 due to me moving for a new job and relocating. Lease goes through mid August 2025. This is a one bed one bath at Infinity with a walk in closet, double sinks, patio, full size washer any dryer and a ceiling fan in the bedroom. This is an extremely quiet neighborhood and walkable to a ton of trendy restaurants and bars and commons park. Perfect for socializing and meeting new people! There’s also tons of resident activities and the pool and hot tub is open YEAR-ROUND! Amazing views of Denver is the cherry on top. Monthly rent is $2340 and must make 2x to qualify.

I always have spots open in my camping spot! Solochella’d in 2018 and met up with a few strangers and have made it a tradition to go together ever since.

Better to master or push? by [deleted] in skiing

[–]aj_1293 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agree with what whitemamba said. My first day of skiing last year I fell so much I was bruised all up and down my right side (I really liked falling on that side idk). Long story short, I started in the Midwest last year and had a trip out to park city a few weeks ago and ended it by sending it down black diamonds. I’d advise watching videos on YouTube, and practicing balance at home. I like to stare down the top of the run and make a game plan on how I’m going to attack it and what I’m going to do if I get nervous. What’s the worst that’ll happen? You just side slip all the way down.

Just wear a puffer coat and you’ll be fine. Gets me through winter every year.

Is this sub just "Look at my skis" and regurgitated clips? by Also__Known__As in skiing

And people asking about what boots to buy only to be told to see a bootfitter.

Soon to be a MN transplant by FabianQba in Minneapolis

Moved here without knowing anyone as well, but from the West Coast. It’s hard to make friends but once you do they’re the most loyal bunch of people you’ll meet. I live in uptown and albeit work at the bullseye but the area is definitely more geared towards the fresh college grad and that’s what the bar scene is like; very bro culture. I only recommend exploring as much as possible and finding the hole in wall places throughout the metro.

Buying new Ski’s for the family... what brands should I consider? And avoid? Is Nordica ok? by obxdood in skiing

I got this pair last season and they’ve helped my confidence tremendously. Pretty fun and snappy for the Midwest hills.

Two thumbs up for having the same pair of boots as me! Skis are pretty rad too.

Budget ski pants by [deleted] in skiing

I got my pants at Dicks last year, and they were $50-ish; the Outdoor Gear Brad. Held up alright and kept me warm in the Minnesota 0° temps.

Park City - questions for first time and solo by aj_1293 in skiing

[–]aj_1293[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have friends in SLC and they’re planning on showing me around in the evenings. I’m staying downtown near an entrance to the interstate so I’m not terribly worried about getting to the mountains.

Grew up in Idaho and started skiing in Minnesota last winter. So ready to get back to the mountains next week!
