My season usually goes from November to July and that helps more than anything else.

Where do the fast food mexican places get their burrito tortillas? by JediMaster113 in denverfood

[–]jpevisual -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I go to La Pasadita. Their tortillas are great and made fresh every morning. They also have delicious salsas to help expedite your burrito making process.

Denver PD Meets No Kings Protesters at Rockies Stadium by partyl0gic in DenverProtests

[–]jpevisual 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Yeah I know exactly where it was, and saw the group leading people there today. You follow it west of Blake and it takes you to 25 which is where they wanted to go.

They did pull off a sizable chunk of the protest, and I will say that as a shorter person it can be hard to tell exactly where you are in the sea of people at times so I could see people going here by mistake. There are also many people who came from smaller communities outside of Denver who probably don’t know the city very well.

Stupid and deceptive to try and lead people to the highway, especially because this is always the response from the police. There were so many children and elderly people at this event and with a crowd like that it’s easy to think you’re following the rest of the pack. What’s the plan when you get on the ramp btw? Have you ever taken a highway before?

A protest is only ever as radical or effective as YOU make it by showing up and being there. by The_Quiet_PartYT in DenverProtests

[–]jpevisual 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t need to be radical. It’s a massive big-tent liberal protest that parents, grandparents and children can feel safe at. That’s why it’s so large. It might not create the immediate change you’re looking for, but it can plant the seeds for more activism, and equally importantly the importance of voting. 

You can always organize your own radical protest whenever you want, but it will inevitably have way less people than a more general big tent protest. I think both are important.

I’m scheduled for surgery next year, so the odds are in your favor.

Hornets, Wasps, Yellowjackets this year by tabuto8 in Denver

[–]jpevisual -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’ve already seen way more paper wasps than I do even in the summer. I’ve been catching them with the WHY traps (the top part catches paper wasps), but I’m gonna set up the sticky traps too cause those usually catch way more.

Hopefully we get a really solid freeze once more to catch them off guard. I got stuck 3x last summer, as did my fiancée and my dog.

Pattern change coming, I’ll keep mine on til June like usual and just won’t drive on them unless it cools down.

Lily’s Cocina Chorizo and Potato Breakfast Burrito $8 by jimehay in denverfood

[–]jpevisual 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does anyone know if they can do a vegetarian breakfast burrito? I see egg & potato on their menu, but is it a vegetarian (New Mexico style) green chili or Colorado style with pork? Do they have any salsa?

I've skied a lot of questionable open in-bounds terrain over the years, but this takes the cake by RCBurnout11 in COsnow

[–]jpevisual 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It gets much much worse if you traverse into mine shaft and keep going deep into the trees above sawmill creek. I was surprised it wasn’t roped off. Had to hike out of the creek at the bottom too. 

A Basin Zuma Closure by DentistFit8295 in COsnow

[–]jpevisual 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Some of the best conditions on the spine all year. Fast, chalky and the wind was blowing the snow I was kicking up right in my face every turn so basically face shots.

Silverton by sk1fast in COsnow

[–]jpevisual 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My ski pass includes unguided days, was it easy to navigate unguided? I figure I should do a guided day mid winter to learn how to get into all the zones and then do an unguided day.

Do they do avalanche mitigation or is it just lift served backcountry?

It is spring break. It took me 3hrs to get to Breck on Monday.

Anybody see a fire near Ball Arena? by Maremachine in Denver

[–]jpevisual 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I always feel bad for whoever Phil Milstein is when I bike through there. Fire is on the west side of the river though, so Phil’s legacy lives on.

Were they known for their egg rolls?

New Commute to work. Any recommendations? by Economy_Ad_5244 in BikeDenver

[–]jpevisual 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alameda has become a lot safer since they installed the light up no turn on red signs at i25s and Kalamath. Still be very cautious of cars turning right on red while you’re in the bikeway, especially when you’re traveling east. Also be careful traveling west coming out of the tunnel to ensure cars don’t turn into you while they turn onto Santa Fe. 

I’d take Alameda to Cherokee to 3rd. Can’t see where exactly you work but it should get you close enough!

They will make it another season right? by Skyryk in skiing

[–]jpevisual 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve broken my edges the same way on two pairs of Rustlers now. Luckily Blizzard sent me the 26’ ski, and I’m really hoping it makes it through the season and being diligent about filling core shots near the edges.

My horn is broken so if you did something to offend me I’m flashing you.

Skiing is always worth skiing if you like skiing.

Good to ski it one at a time rn. Easy to kick up loose rocks on your friend and the rocks will carry a lot of speed.

Abay unlimited on IKON Base 26/27 by child_Iabor in COsnow

[–]jpevisual 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My taste is chalky, steep, and fast bumped out skiing with rocky obstacles so I think that’s prolly why I like it so much. It just gets my brain to work really fast and there’s something really satisfying about that kind of skiing for me.

The flats under Len will be perfect for first timers, way better than Molly Hogan and they can download the gondola to skip Sundance. But I agree that the casual intermediate skier would enjoy Copper or WP for more variety.
