I moved to Denver from Southern California when I graduated high school. Quickly linked my skateboarding passion to snowboarding. Fast forward 30 years and I’ve all but given up on it because the insane traffic this town has developed over the last years. I used to get 30+ days a season. That’s down to about 4 nowadays. I hate spending my weekend in traffic. What used to be a 50 minute drive has often become 4 + (sometimes each way) hours to go battle crowded lift lines and douche bags who have lost basic sensibilities and etiquette, asshole drivers, taillights for ions. We Decided to go up this morning cause we got some nice snow. Left at 5:00am. We’ve now sat in traffic over an hour and haven’t even got out of town yet!! Fuck this bullshit!!!

Went through the same thing when we lived there. I basically stopped skiing around 2016 bc of it. Even doing backcountry skiing was getting terrible. I can only imagine how things have changed since leaving. Really the only solution here is to buy or long term rent a condo up in the mountains and drive up on off hours so you're already there the next morning before the lifts open.

New Mexicos still pretty quiet…

@Matt Taos got us spoiled…hope it stays that way. I’m getting too old for crowds

[Matt]

Is fun up there. When I was in Denver last year Eli from BS and all his friends said Taos was where they move if they wanted to get away from the hassle of Denver.

[Mizmazzle]

Well, we ditched the ski crowds and went to one of my off the map spots. Didn’t see another person the whole time we were there. Ended up being an awesome day!!

[popvulture]

Y’all have a shiba too?

[Mizmazzle]

@popvulture we do!! Kuma is her name. She just turned 15. Do you have one too???

[popvulture]

@Mizmazzle nope, I just have a cat. My girlfriend just moved in officially though, and one of our next moves is to get a dog. Not sure what we’ll look for yet, but I’d love maybe like a mid size cattle dog. Need a good lil nipper in my life.

[Matt]

I thought you said she just moved in.

[Giles]

I hope you're getting your coat.....

[Mizmazzle]

@popvulture good luck with the new living arrangements. That’s pretty exciting. I didn’t realize how small my couch was until my wife first moved in back in the day…that damn couch is still too small haha.

[popvulture]

@Mizmazzle haha being 6’2”, it’s paramount that I have a big-ass couch, so I totally feel you on that. Thankfully I already found the ideal one for my sasquatch size at CB2. You shoulda seen the couch my girlfriend gave away before she moved in, was like a torture device.

Our dog Boone got sprayed by a skunk this morning around 5 am. No one enjoyed this experience. 0/5 stars

[Matt]

That stinks.

[SKT]

Good one

[Mizmazzle]

Oh shitty!! I let Carl out last night for his before bedtime piss and all hell broke loose as soon as I opened the door. Massive raccoon went tearing off and Carl damn near got him. Coulda been bad.

Did you have to use the ol tomato juice trick on Boone?

[popvulture]

Wow that’s some pungent Mondayness

[mclaincausey]

If that happened in Denver, neighbors would assume a grow was producing the skunk scent

[SKT]

@Mizmazzle glad Carl didn’t get tangled up wit that raccoon! We used a solution we found on the internet…hydrogen peroxide, baking soda and dish soap. Worked pretty well. We were worried Boone might come out of it a blonde but he looks alright

[Mizmazzle]

@SKT I bet Boone woulda looked cool as hell with frosted tips!!!
