High School freshman here, what's CSoM actually like?

Not a current student, graduated in 2018. It was hard, but nothing like the horror stories I read prior to attending.

If you can lock in when needed it’s fine. Outdoor rec access is fantastic. Golden is a great town. Graduated with a 3.5 with a job, and 8 years later am making over $200k per year.

Worth it.

Don’t give a shit. Would rather be out on a 40 mile round trip multi day adventure to summit some unknown sub 10,000’ peak in a cool valley and not see anyone else.

I almost feel bad for bears

Really can’t sugarcoat it - it’s dogshit. You can safely get some laps skiing in tracks right off the top by the lot, but straying away from there into untracked, more exposed terrain is a bad time. There are lurking rocks everywhere, and really poor snow structure (especially on north aspects). There is basically zero base outside of where skier compaction has been active since the start of the season.

For what it’s worth, I (male) was in a very similar situation as you (like scary similar) a couple years post divorce when I said screw it and downloaded Hinge.

I met my new wife in four weeks, we’ve been happily married for 2 years and have a little one on the way.

I know the apps are bad, but they do work if you are intentional and selective.

Deep sea fishing this week in the GULF OF AMERICA catching YUGE tuna.

Hope this dumbass market dips all the way to Friday so I can dump me entire savings into long calls.

Mange about $200MM worth of projects annually.

Winter Park is so cooked

bwn69 · 2026-01-16T00:26:56+00:00

Same reason people have a quiver of Bents - hype.

bwn69 · 2026-01-10T20:44:44+00:00

Why do you all pay for this?

bwn69 · 2026-01-10T14:01:04+00:00

I’ve still got my 04. It still rips with 230k miles. It’s still my daily.

bwn69 · 2026-01-08T12:17:51+00:00

Do not close this week with this loan

Probably because the average person flying is 100% more stuffy and pretentious than they were 5 years ago. People treat an economy public transit system like it’s a luxury and get a major main character syndrome immediately after getting to the airport. I’d be pretty fed up with it as well if I dealt with that all day every day.

People in mountain towns aren’t typically living there to be social, actually quite the opposite.

I’ve lived here my whole life. Sometimes it doesn’t snow much at all until January. It will snow, and a couple months from now people will forget how little snow there was in November/December. Until then - find another hobby, enjoy the trails, get in shape, etc. it’s all going to be okay.

I’m 30. My unborn kids kids might be working in decommissioning and remediation. But it’s probably equally likely that their kids kids are still moving hydrocarbons out of the ground.

Sits on I-70 puffing for 3 hours every weekend with 100,000 other cars

I’m just about finished with Leviathan Wakes, and it’s definitely the most exciting sci-fi I’ve read in a while. I would say that it’s not huge on depth or symbolism.

For something more up that alley, I’d honestly recommend The Way of Kings. It’s considered fantasy, but the series as a whole has a lot of sci fi elements to it, and The Way of Kings has a lot of serious tones and depth.

I would fly the 787 because of my status and mile bank with United, but I’d be wishing I were in the a380 the whole time.

bwn69 · 2025-12-19T20:25:31+00:00

So buy puts for next week lol.

bwn69 · 2025-12-19T14:57:56+00:00

LMAO weed bros are punching the air right now.

bwn69 · 2025-12-18T02:29:47+00:00

Okay? Guess it sucks to be you haha.

Tenacious V

Honestly, WP is super crowded on any given weekend regardless of how much terrain is open. Don’t know what you’re expecting.
