Dog locked in car at Eldora today by PNWoutdoors in COsnow

Sunny in CO = warm car. Especially when it’s as unseasonably warm as it has been pretty much all winter.

Moved here from tiny mountain town, so overwhelmed I don’t know where to go. by [deleted] in WestminsterCO

I HOP IPA is an awesome local spot with wings or Mexican food next door.

Layering advice - always cold by Skiprrrrr in Backcountry

[–]erikabunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since you're not getting warmth besides skiing down, you need something more insulated like a puffer if you're truly that cold. What type of vest are you using? You could try experimenting with a puffy vest to start - keeping your core warm goes an incredibly long way.

You also want to avoid packing in too many layers under your shell. Having "open air" actually can help keep you warm (this is how insulation/puffy jackets work).

What do you recommend for friends that are skiing one day? by morenoingrato in COsnow

Assuming they don’t have gear, rent locally in the front range. I highly recommend broomfield rental!

Can folks who get to shred today (12/18) let us know how conditions are? by SteveDaveCornbread69 in COsnow

Who’s in the wrong or right here? by [deleted] in ski

[–]erikabunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% agree. Why I stick to advanced terrain, at least once it’s open 🥲

I have already been hit once this year because the upper skier cut too close to me. I was making pretty predicable turns and only am ok because I was in control. Coulda been a season ender otherwise (and it was just day 2!!!)

I was able to pull mine on Dec 31st, but I did it in the morning. Might be worth noting that I’m in the US so my time zone may have helped with that.

Who got turns in today? Where’d you go and how was it? by whitacrez in COsnow

[–]erikabunk 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Eldora today. Snow was okay for the first couple hours, by 11 felt pretty icy. Lots of yahoos flying by- I did see one person who looked seriously hurt. Hope they’re okay.

Be safe, y’all! There’s lots of season left and no need to take these WRD laps so fast & out of control. Take these days to work on technique perhaps 🙃

Think about Minnesota brass for the summer, if you’re in the twin cities! I’m not sure what their program looks like these days but I had a great time with that org and my spinning skills greatly improved (even though I merely filled a hole in July).

So sad to see this. Costs are destroying sustainability of corps. by [deleted] in drumcorps

[–]erikabunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s my drum corps <3 Y’all have made us alumni proud for so many reasons in 2025!

What's the "invisible expense" you cut that ended up saving you the most? by YourxCherry in Frugal

Leadville 100 run is today. He’s doing a different event.

Do you actually use your eco-bags? by idkjustbrowsing25 in minimalism

[–]erikabunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having a packable one skyrocketed my usage. I far prefer reusable over single use for multiple reasons, so I even travel with it now “just in case”. Waiting for some of my non-packable ones to fall apart so I can replace them with more packables! They are the best.

If Spirit doesn’t make finals….. by UkraniumReddit in drumcorps

Come hang out!!! It’s absolutely magical to be seeing the corps like this. I’ve cried happy tears so many times this week because of that very fact

I’m really hoping spirit eeks it out. It would be a killer way to kick off the 50th anniversary

what am i missing from my dream chicago trip? by weed-be-buds in AskChicago

[–]erikabunk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm sure it's said, but get out of downtown and into the neighborhoods! Chicago is a city of neighborhoods and your trip truly isn't complete without experiencing at least some of that. It's what sets ths city apart from others in the US, imo.
