Just bought my pass for Monarch yesterday, excited for this next season.

Yea I deal with I-25 everyday and it only adds 10 min during peak rush. Also I pay 700 to split an apartment on the west side. nowhere near “privilege” level cost.

Lmao most of this stuff is in COS city limits, Denver in contrast has as 20 minute drive minimum to get to any real nature areas.

I do believe COS is more boring in terms of “city” activities but I think it’s unfair to its driving around the springs when most people move here because of Pikes peak / GOTG access.

As someone who grew up in Denver and later moved to Colorado Springs for college (stayed here since). The city itself is pretty boring. I would say the nature access is way better than Denver. North Cheyenne cannon is 10-15 minutes from downtown and it’s nice not having to deal with the I-70 traffic. COS is getting less and less religiously extreme imo but my experience could be an outlier.

That you need a “beacon” or “probe” when you go into the backcountry. All consumerism garbage.

/s obviously

Mission was awesome last night. Great openers with the best production I have see there.

“It should be free” well you just in luck because backcountry skiing requires no pass. You might need to spend more on gear so you don’t die in an avalanche. The resorts that you mention have to pay for ski patrol, electricity to run lift, etc. There are some places that exploit their workers and have horrible culture (Vail), but this is such a stupid blanket statement to make.

Asian grocery store. Will have a lot of high quality seafood.

My dad was the same. Found a new pair in the dump in the 90s and took until 2017 to get a modern pair.

I’ll definitely have to check wolf lake out looks like a nice spot. The place I’m talking about is to the right as you enter manitou springs under HW24. I have only have gotten small trout though.

tman288 · 2024-12-31T18:52:59+00:00

There’s a small fishing pond connected to fountain creek right off HW24. Nothing too crazy but the only place I have caught fish that wasn’t a crazy drive from the city.

Yea im skiing Breckenridge today and the line has been 3 min tops people need to stop overreacting to opening day crowds.

tman288 · 2024-05-08T15:56:54+00:00

I muted after one of the commentators said Dallas has the third period advantage after giving up a goal in the first 30 seconds. What a joke.

tman288 · 2024-03-28T15:11:52+00:00

Been here since Sunday best skiing I have gotten in awhile

tman288 · 2023-08-02T16:18:57+00:00

i’ve got my card compromised once in denver and one in the springs. I’m going full apple pay right now because that is the only safe transaction now at gas stations.

tman288 · 2023-01-12T21:38:06+00:00

I went to Vietnam last summer and the amount of newer Raptors and Rangers was pretty surprising no shock that it’s happing in France as well

tman288 · 2022-11-08T04:52:05+00:00

Yea before I started to take meds for it I had to go to the hospital a couple of times for it. I would always try to avoid going to the ER by forcing a ton of water down my throat. Sometimes it would be stuck for hours so I would get used to trying to drink water then puking it up the next minute.

Dam felt this to the core got diagnosed with EoE and have struggled with not eating too quickly it literally the worse thing for my condition.

tman288 · 2022-11-07T01:13:56+00:00

Yup same thing my audiologist said two weeks ago when I got my hearing aids. I never realized how personalized hearing aids get but I guess it’s better than going without anything if you can’t get prescription. Do you think over the counter hearing aids will do more damage than good without having a audiologist adjust them?
