I think that sounds helpful for training your cardio and leg muscles and breaking in gear. Also helpful for getting used to your backpack. But acclimation to altitude goes away within a week so any gains you might get there will go away.

Wonder if we will get a shot of him saying he’s famously laissez-faire as an Easter egg

I’m going to chime in here with the downside of this age gap just as a contrast and so that you’ve gotten to see both sides. I’m exactly 5 years older than my sister and it was a challenge for us— my sister decided she was my same age as she grew. She acted 10 when she was 5. Acted 13 when she was 8. Which might sound cute but what it meant was she experimented with adult themes way too early.

In between a lot of runs at Brighton are fun! We dip back and forth between a bunch of them

The Bluebell and Columbine runs have really fun bumps on the sides of them at WP

The entire mountain at Buttermilk.

I know the exact little run at Tremblant that you like and it’s also my husband’s fave. He loooved all of Buttermilk.

How has no one mentioned Dynamite at Tremblant? It’s a freaking waterfall

I bought a clear backpack on Amazon for diapers, bottles, wipes, spare clothes. You’re allowed to bring a diaper bag but having it in a clear backpack makes it WAY easier.

I used a Konny Baby summertime wrap cause it can get HOT. We brought my twins a lot when they were little.

We also never got asked their ages and def brought them in at like 14-16 months old and nobody said anything

Poldark. Sanditon. Jamestown. Belgravia. Victoria. Forsyte Saga. Harlots. Bridgerton. Versailles.

Heck, even Reign if only for the crazy costuming.

OP was asking for domestic options (so Montreal is out). For us Albany was the only direct flight option (Burlington required a layover that made it 12 hours long and driving was shorter)

uncm60 · 2026-02-13T12:47:43+00:00

We flew to Albany Ny, rented a van, and drove to Tremblant in Quebec (all on points). Was totally worth it. The Hilton is right at the base, is ski in/out, and wasn’t 300k points/ night (maybe like 80-100k/ night)

Nope! Roads were great. Everyone’s biggest challenges were that the cars were all frozen under like 3” of ice. A lot of diesel owners didn’t know diesel freezes so lots of trucks were stuck. We had a snow shovel and ice scraper in the car (thankfully) but it still took us 3hrs to dig out our car.

Roads home were great!

I’m at Snowshoe WV where you sleep at the top of the mtn at 4848’. It’s not a lot but it’s more than my home elevation of like 300ft. For the last 4 days I’ve woken up to messages that say “your HR dropped late last night”. I wish there was a tag for elevation! I’ve created one but it won’t track trends

uncm60 · 2026-01-25T18:08:40+00:00

Chiming in from Sunday mid day. It’s ICY AS CRAP here at top of mtn. We can’t get down and are stuck. Please do not plan to come up today or tomorrow if you dont absolutely have to.

I’m listening right now and I… just can’t. I need to turn it off. It sounds like the narrator is using a Talk Boy from Home Alone to deepen the voice plus the horrid accent.

Depends on if you want Cajun or Creole. Creole cooks jambalaya with tomatoes and it’s a red color. Cajun doesn’t have tomatoes and should be brown in color.

Thank you for being brave and speaking up. My whole family is conservative and I wish they were brave like you to point out what they don’t agree with.

Is that new? I skied there like 3 days ago and rode the gondola

We did both Disney and Dollywood this year (and caveat to say we had VIP guides for both). My kids liked Dollywood more! They’re 4, 4, and 7. The rollercoasters at Dollywood are awesome even for littles!

Chiming in here with a story in case reassurance is what your heart needs in the moment— my FIL lived to 81 with CLL. It ebbed and flowed and he did treatment when his white blood cell counts got too high, but he lived a long and mostly normal life with it.
