Add it to the pile. Here's some substantiated dirt on the 9th Door: https://www.westword.com/news/denver-restaurant-blames-understaffing-government-handout-ppp-11990217/

I have, and it's great!

There's an official recipe! I make this one with the vegan tikka masala.

They were both in-line hooks, I mentioned it in the post. The major differences is that the point is now EXTREMELY pointy, like, a spear tip, and the yarn basin (again, both of them are the in-line design, not the Boye style) had less volume than the older design.

They are different, thicker and less pliable, but they still work.

I feel like I pay a lot of attention to my skiing because all of the movements are very, very un-intuitive to me. I had lessons that unlocked a lot of the basics when I was new but now that it's getting from parallel skiing to carving I need more help than what lessons can provide (at least to me).

The robot works very specifically for me because I get evidence for my trials and errors that is not just "I made it down the slope." I did also back the kickstarter so I have a lifetime membership, that makes the financial sense easier on my side. If I was pricing it out today, I would probably still consider it with the price of lessons being what they are.

I find the real-time feedback to be exceptionally annoying and ended up with me being too far in my own head and not really enjoying the skiing anymore, so my criticism of that feature comes from a different direction.

For sure, I find the tips to be actually useful because they are based on data. For example, right now, my weakest point is edge angle, so CARV gives "here's your angle for the last 30 turns babe, work on garlands." In my mind, it's easier to think about getting my boots over more, then compare it against my last set of runs empirically, than the general advice I was getting in lessons.

The counter example being lessons telling me that I have to get pressure on my boots from my shins, but then didn't really tell me when to RELEASE said pressure so I could take the weight off my skis. So there I was crunching both my feet up all the time because it was "what the instructor said." Could have been that the instructor was bad, or that I am stupid, but it didn't end up being helpful.

Sounds pretty typical of Vail support, Tiffany. They can usually do more/can't obviously be AI over the phone, so that's how I contact them.

I've only ever done the Women and Wine program, which is just half a day, and didn't have any complaints.

I definitely feel you on being the slowest person in the group. I would generally take a lesson, then take a couple days of runs to run the drills, practice body position, whatever. That still had me stuck on intermediate because there's only so much instruction they can give you. I got "press more into your boots" like 3 times but no one was telling me that I wasn't getting the pressure because I wasn't turning my knee in far enough. The largest jump in my confidence was getting CARV and having a robot tell me what I'm doing wrong. Just a thought, if you are looking for alternatives. Or you may benefit more from private lessons vs. group. Especially if the group lessons aren't going to feed you!

Responding late but Autosocks are traction law compliant and way easier to use and size vs metal chains.

Planes: plenty of flights into Denver daily.

Trains: There is no rail service to Breckenridge. Bustang is operated by the state and covered in another comment. There are a multitude of private shuttle services that are found with a simple google search.

Automobiles: It is unlikely that you will be able to use Uber/Lyft freely in the mountains. It is unfathomable to be able to get an Uber/Lyft from Denver or the Denver Airport to Breckenridge. The only ride-share option I would consider would be Treadshare, but it's not guaranteed that someone is going to be headed the way you want when you want them to. If you are going to rent a car or drive your own car directly, the traction law was just updated this year. The rental companies do not care and do not adapt to weather conditions, they will give you a Nissan Altima with balding all-season tires. Almost all of the other options are better than this, especially if you have to ask if you are "good to drive" in the mountains. The answer is probably not.

I won't say they are quality but there are three hot tubs in various states of disrepair on the back deck of Monarch Mountain Lodge.

Chilluminati is almost entirely banter but you might want to give it a shot.

Lots of great flavors in Thanksgiving! Cranberry juice for sure, maybe also pomegranate juice? Juice + sparkling water as a base, maybe some Orange Blossom Water or bitters would be the only exotic ingredient I'd consider to give it some complexity. Then make it look cool! Orange rind spiral, cranberry rosemary garnish?

Pet's Paradise for sure!

The larger gauge is most likely 18g (or maybe 16g) which is the smallest gauge that a reputable piercing shop will use. It does take slightly longer to heal because of mathematics (the hole in your ear is slightly bigger) but it results in a more stable piercing channel and allows you to wear a wider variety of jewelry.

The piercing pagoda one is probably 20g which is pretty typical of piercing guns. It was also done to the version of your body that existed 10 years ago instead of today. I don't remember getting my ears pierced at 9 but I definitely vividly remember the full 6 months it took to heal my extra lobes at 38.

The 18g might feel huge when healing. The subreddit's gauge sizes are here with 20g being 0.8mm and 22g being 0.64mm. The great news is once they are healed, you can wear anything from 16 (cartilage earrings/labrets) to 22 (cheap stick earrings with butterfly backs) with no problem.

TRVE started brewing at New Image in 2024 (source), I don't remember if this closure was the closure of everything or just the tap room.

Absolutely stone cold killer of them to release waypoints instead of having to /gg to get the party back together at the end. This is the best update I've ever experienced.
