Possible? Yes. Easily? Probably not. Depends on how good of shape you're in and what equipment you have. It's about 16 miles round trip and 2600ft in elevation gain. I am not sure what conditions are like but seems likely you'll encounter snow right now, at least as you get further back there.

Plenty of options, these are two I know would be great.
Sounds like it could be an allergy. I had a friend in college who had a weird allergy to avocados, strawberries, and lettuce if I remember right. I'd honestly try to get tested by an allergist or do an elimination diet or something, as an EMT I've seen people's allergies get worse over time and they ended up having something more severe (swollen throat and trouble breathing) after more "mild" symptoms like a rash.
I do this in regular life but wouldn't in preparation for a thru as my feet grew 1.5 sizes in the first few weeks on trail and stocking up on the wrong size would be sad.
Yeah totally agree and not really looking to sell it for all these reasons, might be more amenable to a trade. Anyway probably holding onto it for now and I appreciate the input!
Child of a server and a server myself, this is also what I was taught and still what I do generally. I probably over-tip a little when the service isn't perfect usually, but almost never go over 20% unless I am notably impressed.

Around 150lbs usually. Specs sayb180-280lbs. I ride high in it but am pretty happy with it overall. I was not really planning on selling it at all but since my friend is in the market for a boat I might use the opportunity to get something that fits a little better.
I'm trying to figure out a good price for a Remix 79. I am fairly beginner and am super fortunate that a friend gave me his old boat. It's in great shape, but I'm significantly under the minimum weight and it's a giant boat to lug around. My ideal would be to just trade it straight up for a Remix 69 or similar, but not sure I can make that happen. I don't know what year the boat is, the rigging is in great shape and there are some scratches but no damage at all. I have a friend reaching out interested in potentially buying it, and also have a local club gear swap coming up so trying to get a feel for how much I should be looking for.
Any idea what a fair price would be for this? Also, other similarish boats I could be looking for that might be good for a newb just getting into Class III? Thanks in advance!
Have you looked up teaching English? Not sure if they all require a college degree but there are programs worldwide. Look up "teach english abroad".
Also maybe migrant farm labor (I think Australia might do this?) or seasonal work in a resort town, look at ski resorts, mega hotels etc. You might need an employer to sponsor your visa.
I work for a ski resort. I could probably find something with the resort that fills the summer but serving pays me more than 2x as much so financially better for me. I live in a resort community so there are a lot of people that have similar ebbs and flows - working for guide companies, hotels etc.
35 and a server seasonally (work another seasonal job in winter). I used to work at a desk and have a "carreer" type job and burned out hard. Infell back on serving because I'd done it in high school and college and honestly my hourly is about the same as what I was making after ladder climbing for 10 years. There was always a ton of BS from customers and coworkers there too so might be inescapable.
Currently much happier due to better work life balance but when I'm grinding too hard I still burn out. Work is work and at least I can leave this job at work when I go home.
I have no answers, just an EMT here but I'd be curious to hear how hard it is to keep up on training hours for both. My understanding is that in my area both being a flight medic/nurse and a pilot require a lot of annual hours to keep up. I do know that pilots are highly sought after here and the medic and nurse positions are super competitive.
Third trimester switching from active job
Hi everyone! I'm 27 wks right now and looking for advice. TLDR switching from having workouts built into my job to having to actually work out. Looking for a routine that works to start from scratch but for someone fairly in shape.
I work an extremely active and strenuous job all winter (ski patrol) that just ended mid-April. Since getting pregnant it's been pretty much my only real activity and on average includes 5+ hours a day of moderate cardio via hiking, skiing and stomping around, plus moderate lifting that I'd say is more occasional (shoveling, lifting patients, moving equipment around). I've done occasional (once every 2 weeks ish) yoga all season. I've been incredibly lucky to have a very easy pregnancy so far and never really had to dial back, and the season ended just in time for me to lower my risk tolerance and see my bump get big. The last few weeks I've been on vacation which has mostly consisted of a lot of walking (10-30k steps a day) and a little bit of hiking, biking, and sea kayaking.
Anyway my summer job is much less active. I consider myself to be in decent shape especially on the cardio end, and want to keep my momentum while I can, and looking for advice or workout programs (either at home or in the gym). I plan to get a bunch of hiking and biking in for cardio this summer so really looking for a good place to start for strength training. I have lifted consistently on and off in the past but the last time was last summer so I have functional strength but not really anything in regards to resistance training.
My main goals are to maintain muscle, reduce my risk for tearing and injury, and hopefully increase my chances for a good recovery.
Does anyone have any ideas for a routine that works to start from scratch but for someone fairly in shape? I'd love any other suggestions as well for someone in my position. Thanks in advance!
I chopped mine off for the trail in 2019. I have had short hair in the past though so was not too worried about that. I would say the convenience of short hair was 100% worth it to me - no brushing, less worried about what i'll find for shower supplies etc. My hair gets extremely tangled and I wasn't willing to deal with that for a long trail. For shorter stuff I just braid it but it still becomes a huge mess and is way hotter and uncomfortable.
You might have a microonverter down (likely) but it's possible it's just not connected to the envoy. You can call and ask emphase directly to check and make sure all your firmware is up to date and to do a device scan, they can do all this from.their desk.
Yeah the nature trail is all shade and likely to be snow and mud
The Tom Blake is going to be really muddy and is closed for elk migration/calving from 4/25-6/21. The ditch trail is technically open but will be a muddy mess.
The rim trail in Snowmass has been melted off for a while, id recommend going there as it's more sun exposed. Sunnyside in Aspen might be a good choice as well.
Try butter beans for a replacement for diced chicken in salads, wraps etc. They work out great and have had plenty of omnivorous friends enjoy them or even think they were chicken.
In college I was serving brunch on mother's day, fine dining. We were passing champagne to all the tables for a toast, and I had a tray loaded with enough flutes for probably 30 guests. I was not particularly practiced at passing drinks off a tray at the time (I would never load a tray that full now, especially with wobbly-ass champagne flutes). Spilled the entire tray on a guest, not my table. I was mortified. I found out about 20 minutes later that it was my coworker's mom so that made it a little better but holy hell.
I'd recommend 14ers.com, there is a climbing connection forum specifically for this purpose. https://www.14ers.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=5
I have found at least one great partner there that I've climbed a ton with. Good luck!
Sweet you're going to have a great time, good luck!
Snowmass is super family friendly. It's very quiet in the summer but has a number of events going on. Free concerts, events for kids etc. It's a ski resort town so no real downtown, less restaurants etc but very pleasant. Most of the shopping etc is based on activities (biking, hiking etc). Parking is way easier in Snowmass if you plan to drive yourself around a lot.
Aspen is a historic town, has a lot of upscale shopping and dining options,and can also be family friendly. If you think you'll eat out most meals you might enjoy Aspen more, though there are options in snowmass during that time.
Regardless there is a free bus that runs at least twice an hour, sometimes more, between Aspen and Snowmass so you should definitely check both out.
