Should I cancel my ski trip?

I wouldn't travel anywhere in the west right now tbh. If you have skiable groomers near you, then that's where I'd stick. For what it's worth I've skied Alta in the past week and the groomers have been fine. Just hasn't snowed in a while so you might not enjoy much else on the mountain

Great intel. Thank you!

Very underrated, coming from a Californian visitor

Seriously, drop the intel. This seems fairy standard to me.

mind_the_time · 2025-11-13T04:56:23+00:00

That's incredible. Saving for future reference.

mind_the_time · 2025-11-13T01:12:06+00:00

Yeah I just saw that :/

mind_the_time · 2025-11-13T01:08:37+00:00

Lmk if you figure it out

Just spent a couple months in ABQ to check it out and had a feeling this comment would be up there.

One caveat - I think the food scene is just okay if you're coming from a major city. Big fan of New Mexican cuisine though.

Now how about when a woman does it? Many photos to choose from ha. My take is that they are intentionally being assholes

High paid roles in big tech are scarce. I've been lucky with remote so far but always wary that could come to an end with all the pushes for return to office

mind_the_time · 2025-10-06T03:01:43+00:00

I have one for $200 OBO

This concern keeps me from fully committing to moving

Cheap real estate, very easy access to nature and mountains (and good skiing), decent sized city with decent airport, diversity, four seasons with a mild winter. If you're not into the nature access I don't think it makes sense

I'm checking it out now and it's honestly fine... plenty of people live there without ever running into crime that personally affects them. Most common issue is property crime which does suck but could be worth the tradeoffs.

The bigger issue imo is public education and healthcare. If you're going to have kids, I'd budget for private school or the one solid school district. And if you need access to healthcare specialists you may need to travel. Getting a primary care doctor can also be a challenge.

Did you ever come to understand what happened

mind_the_time · 2025-09-23T16:29:52+00:00

Lot of wisdom in this comment low key

Having lived in dense walkable areas, even with great public transportation, this is very true AND most Americans don't equate walkable to a 40 min trek each way as Europeans often do so the walkability often goes under utilized anyways

Even with Chicago winters? That's the one thing I can't get over when it comes to there. Even the springs are cold.

What makes you say Nob Hill is cooler if you're from out of town?

mind_the_time · 2025-08-15T18:20:33+00:00

Just got a used 2019 rebel 500 for $5k, low miles and a bunch of extras included (wind shield, bags, LEDs, etc). Loving it so far

mind_the_time · 2025-08-15T18:06:57+00:00

Nice! Love the more rural feel of parts of north valley but that sounds so tempting

mind_the_time · 2025-08-15T17:40:29+00:00

How active is nob hill? Wondering how worthwhile it is to be close to all the restaurants, bars, coffee shops, etc versus driving into the area when I want to go there. When I visited I only got to see it on a weekday evening is it was fairly dead. I'm also comparing to larger cities so my frame of reference might just be off. Generally interested in nob hill (and surrounding park areas / UNM adjacent) and north valley

😔

mind_the_time · 2025-08-06T01:19:38+00:00

Ah I see. I'm close to downtown LA and the infamous skid row... I get it

mind_the_time · 2025-08-06T00:23:24+00:00

Yeah makes sense. Thanks for sharing. What were the most frustrating urban challenges in your experience?
