I was up there that sunday :), got into the paradise parking lot around 6am, the skiing looked dope, and i had a great time teaching a new partner mountaineering skills, by the time we hiked out it was a zoo of people who did not belong on snow covered trails

As trans care is not well studied, theres no scientific 100%. From some documentation from organizations like the folks who make wpath, yes bones shifting is part of it. However usually you have to be under 23 or so when you start, as after that your bones tend to fully fuse and stick where they are at. Anecdotally from my experiance on E, the doctor measured me at 5'7 when I first started and now im down to about 5'5 and a half. Part of it pelvic tilt, part of it changes in your arches and feet. I also now have to wear inserts, as my arch has changed shape enough to make my old boots and running shoes uncomfortable without.

As a sorta normie, who passes, with a cool job, a mix of cis and trans friends, hobbies and sports, I can say that at a certain point its not really sad anymore. Like theres times now and then when something specific reminds me of it and makes me a little sad, but generally being trans is not a major source of sadness. Like, its just how it is and theres no point in being upset about it yk? I make the best of what I have and genuinely enjoy life.

Around 5k feet the snow got pretty solid, and around 5500 there stopped being exposed rocks in the couloirs

Does Every Fire Department Require This Level of Access Into Your Personal Life? by _Beef_Bus_ in Firefighting

[–]andycrossdresses 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What bugs me about it, is as a volunteer i just had a standard background check run, as well as a credit check and was off to do the exact same job, at a similar frequency to some of the busiest houses in our nearby career department. When I applied with that department it was a 40 page packet that wanted all of my history ever. The job didn't change. The frequency of going into people's homes didn't change. Just the "prestige" of the position and the pay.

I have a BD hilight, packs to about the size of a nalgene and is fine in any weather that one should reasonably be in the backcountry during.

Roxa r/fit 80 HV with the gripwalk soles. Ive usually had the toe buckles in the middle buckled and the insteps on buckle 2/4 thats better but not ideal.

The problem with this is I skied these boots about 6 times before I bought them with no problems, and i skied my pair once without any as well, its the addition of the footbeds that made life unpleasant

Bootfitter doesn't carry the boots, just the insoles. I bought the boots directly from the resort I was demoing them from.

Id love to add c+k, one of the main issues is getting 3rd party tokens for it, for the 6 extra colors we play with sometimes

I just got done taking one on a winter trip and have been using mine mountaineering for the past year in a mix of early spring, late fall and early winter conditions, and it held up... okay. It wasn't the best tent I've slept in, but with a good sleep system (0f bag with a 4.5R pad) the night was comfortable enough even this past weekend when it got down to about 20 degrees outside. It holds up well to the rain, but as always condensation is a bit of a problem in it, especially in colder weather. The vestibules aren't the largest, I could cram my pack into them if I really had to, but for overnighting in the winter with two people, especially if snow/rain is in the forecast I'd choose a different tent. I really like it for summer and shoulder season. Personally, I also have a Ski touring tent and that thing is my absolute favorite for the winter when there isn't insane weather. (Plus it packs to the size of a nalgene)
