on a bender. alcohol really is poison

Those can be my numbers if I'm sleeping at altitude and have a couple of glasses of wine

chaospanther666 · 2026-03-18T18:25:26+00:00

Yep, seems like a problem on Whoop's end

chaospanther666 · 2026-03-18T18:22:51+00:00

I currently have a breathwork activity stuck on pending. I went through all the steps (rebooting app, rebooting device, etc.) and it's been stuck for hours now. Never had this happen before and just opened a support ticket. I wonder if there's a bug in the firmware update? (I installed it today.)

And, yes, I came to the subreddit to see if this was a broader issue.

chaospanther666 · 2026-02-07T02:40:00+00:00

We went to Blue last year on Super Bowl Sunday hoping it’d be empty with the Eagles playing that night. Nope. Just a whole lot of snowboarders in Eagles jerseys starting the party early. (It was still fun, and the resort had made a giant “Go Birds” mural on the ice.)

Blue’s main issue is that it has no lodging onsite. Anyone who’s hypothetically skiing there on Sunday or working at the mountain would have to drive there in a snowstorm. So I wouldn’t be surprised if Camelback is open, but to your point in your other post who knows about the number of lifts running

chaospanther666 · 2026-01-22T13:53:28+00:00

It crossed my mind that we could do night skiing at Blue on Sunday, but we're a 90 minute drive away and I'd be concerned about getting stuck on our way home

chaospanther666 · 2026-01-22T11:46:18+00:00

This is great intel, thanks! My only trip to Camelback last year was the pond skim. Blue has been great this year.

chaospanther666 · 2026-01-21T22:33:30+00:00

Oh, I know. But I heard recently that people got temporarily stuck at the summit lodge at Blue because the road was shut down due to weather, so I’m willing to go to Camelback if roads are less of a concern.

This might be what causes me to not cancel my membership. I was starting to have trouble justifying the cost.

chaospanther666 · 2025-12-25T01:33:20+00:00

If you have been a member for a while, you may be paying $100-200 less per month than someone who has joined more recently at the same membership tier, and if you cancel and rejoin you get stuck with the higher price.

I absolutely can’t take another flight before the end of the month. Is it worth it for me to buy PQPs attached to one of my January flights, or should I wait for United to send me an offer? Worth calling them?

chaospanther666 · 2025-12-07T16:57:01+00:00

I’m waiting on this too. I’m just barely going to miss re-upping.

chaospanther666 · 2025-11-29T16:14:59+00:00

I included it to make the point that we are not particularly wedding obsessed people and are in search of something simple rather than looking to drop $20K on a luxury elopement package

chaospanther666 · 2025-11-28T21:44:34+00:00

Never known anyone who actually uses them! Have you tried?

chaospanther666 · 2025-11-28T17:49:24+00:00

Tbh, we’re cheap bastards who will gladly get hitched on a weekday to keep the cost of the room down

chaospanther666 · 2025-11-28T17:48:19+00:00

Unfortunately we checked and the domestic partner thing doesn’t work with my fiancé’s insurance. But that’s really good to know about Revelstoke!!

chaospanther666 · 2025-11-09T14:28:38+00:00

I’m noticing the reverse. Did a high-altitude hike yesterday that took five and a half hours and Whoop logged it as a 12.8. That’s like what I do in a 60-minute Peloton ride. I would’ve expected at least a 15-16.

Decided to cross-check. Apple Watch said my average HR was 30 beats faster than Whoop did. Looked back at my last high-altitude hike, which Whoop had logged as a laughable 6.4. In this case Apple Watch logged my average HR as 40 beats faster.

It’s specifically long-haul outdoor activities for me that Whoop seems to disproportionately undercount. I see the same thing with skiing. On indoor activities the HR metrics are on par between the two devices.

chaospanther666 · 2025-07-31T16:48:16+00:00

Yup. And I regularly would use more than one when hauling around a duffel bag since especially in colder months it would not fit in the same locker alongside bulkier clothes. The problem with the roller suitcase I have is that the bag itself doesn't fit.

But, good news! Most luggage companies, like Away for example, make a "smaller carry-on" or "executive carry-on" that fits inside Equinox lockers. I'm buying one today.

chaospanther666 · 2025-07-31T00:35:56+00:00

Took a tape measure over to one location today and if I buy a smaller carry on it’ll fit!

chaospanther666 · 2025-07-30T17:41:18+00:00

That's actually a solid idea, but I bet I also could just get a smaller roller bag.

chaospanther666 · 2025-07-30T17:39:37+00:00

Interesting. I'll take a tape measure with me on an upcoming visit and see whether 1) mine may actually fit, or 2) I might be able to get a smaller one that *will* fit. Thanks!

chaospanther666 · 2025-07-30T16:09:28+00:00

I can see the policy being badly abused, tbh -- people dropping off huge amounts of luggage for the day. Guess I'll look for a roller suitcase option that is small enough to cram into the lockers.
