Winthrop and McCall both have decent trail options and camping in relative proximity.

Totally agree with this. Our boys ski a lot and continue to blow us away with their competency and motivation for skiing, but it’s really more about being outside and doing “something” each day.

I hear ya, and I appreciate. My post was more of a vent than a true reflection of ignorance. I'm a west coast kid with zero exposure to either and when I moved to Aspen and Country Day they were...

I support this. I'm pretty against the Hocket+Lacrosse world that I live amongst here in Aspen. I know the grass wont be much greener if I steer my kids towards alpine, nordic, mountain biking, etc,...

I think we would, but certainly it wouldn't be quite as impactful of a thought process if they were farther from the cutoff and older. But we have friends with kids in the late Spring/early Summer...

My twins were born on 8/29 and are two days before the cutoff for our school. This whole debate has been a big topic for the last year but especially now as we have to decide if they're going to move...

Yes

Our boys enjoyed shuffling around a bit and skiing down mellow stuff we skinned with those. Not super pricey and a fun way to get them out.

We can only aspire, daily, to become the GSA

We were handed down both a Kindershuttle and double chariot for the twins. We’ve mostly used the Chariot for Nordic and hut trips. I’ve always put a cheap fleece blanket underneath them and layer...

My wife made some mini kicker skins so they could ski into the hut with the adults last weekend. They made it a mile uphill. Big win!

We had some strap on plastic skis that you could strap/tighten onto little snow boots. These were my wife’s from the 80s but I’ve see similar, newer products

I’ll chime in and agree...

All good things above. We also loved the Merlin suits and very much agree with being open minded/realistic about your circumstances in the breast feeding/formula realm.

Plan time for yourselves...

Have you had more reactions with any other vaccines throughout your life?

I would also add that my understanding is that vaccine safety, dosage accuracy, handling, administration and many other...

You mean you don't enjoy dragging 130lbs of Chariot dead weight, whining and chattering behind you for 6mi uphill at 10-11k with fresh snow and creek crossings??? :fmicon:

It was a great...

They’ve helped me with sea sickness on sailboats. I think it would be hard for a kid to keep them on the pressure point, but certainly worth trying

Yeah, I'm wearing sunglasses most all daylight hours outside and my mom has had a lot of eye issues related to not protecting her eyes. We've got some sweet WeeFarers for the boys but they typically...

Oakley sunglasses.
He refused to wear his sunglasses (in my pocket) - an eternal battle in our household
Riding 5mph uphill.

Successful weekend in Fruita camping and biking while trying out our new Shotgun Pro tow ropes with three 3y/o. Very easy for everyone and super quick to link up after Kessler laps. Do recommend:...

We had two Ergos and Dueter Kid Comfort Active packs. Once the boys passed ~18mo we were pretty much full-time with Dueters. They're happy with visibility and their own space and we're not sweating...

Our boys loved the beach and playing in the sand, when we could find some. Lots of time in the chariot - biking and xc skiing; we started them on striders from 18mo and had them riding on back of...

Yeah, guy!

Pretty much, but this is just the more-real, maybe darker parts of wrestling with a change of course in your life. My biggest takeaway now [with twin 3.5y/o boys] is that you need to accept and be...

We waited to get the boys helmets until last year when they were 2 and they'd fit decently: Smith Glide Jr XS (looks the same as SkiLyft) which is about the same size as the Giro options and smaller...

We started xc skiing and skinning with them at 4mo with them in babybjorns on the front. That worked well and kept them warm; cold days we'd have them in down buntings, otherwise fleece onesies. They...

Fuck yeah dude, that's awesome. Keep it up!

Just yesterday I pulled up the slip mat, dumped the bath toys and plastic potty seats in, filled her up and dumped in some bleach. Only temporary, but hopefully slightly diminishes the shit-water...

Strider MTBing over the weekend. Proud dad!

Yes; I'm a twin born in the 80s, who has twins born in 2019. Both sets were natural - though my twiness being a genetic hand-me-down] and my boys' was just random. The difference between my mom's...

Just chiming in to say that a monitor (Infant Optics DXR-8 for us) has been massively clutch for twins. We don't use it to helicopter the boys and they're generally pretty good sleepers, but having...
