I need out…

[skaredshtles]

<snip> why do your clothes have to be your whole being?

Because they've got nothing else?

That's kind of how cults work...

[m2711c]

How else are they gonna identify other members of their tribe?

How else are they gonna identify other members of their tribe?

And how else are regular folk supposed to know that they are *complete* morans?

The problem with cool places is they are full of cool people. You gotta choose a bit of suck to keep it real and be able to afford it. And if you think you are ahead of the curve and find your spot, heads up. The cool people will come your way.

If you allow people to weaponize their political views again you, they win. I say bring it. Monoculture and behind surrounded only by people like you because it makes you feel comfortable is stupid.

Put what makes you happy first, that could be skiing, or living situation. If you’re not happy now, it’s always a gamble to move. At least you’ll have deepmdays if the rest doesn’t go as planned. Priorities.

I just bailed on a slc move, my buyer didn’t come up with their loan. But I was never a fan of slc, but I thought of housing, business. Plan 2, will be mtn high somewhere, medium size resort, no vail bs.

Flagstaff, maybe, or Sedona, cause my mom’s near. Good hikes on backside, side country, then t ride and Utah a few times per yr.

Seen a lot of threads on TRG over the years by people who dream of moving, but will never move. Usually the ones who actually do move don't announce it first.

Nothing wrong with dreaming though.

I don’t mind the mix of sociopolitical views where I live. It’s pretty evenly split between liberal and conservative. The community doesn’t seem to suffer, quite the contrary, it’s thriving. I don’t think I could handle living in a resort community. It feels fake in resort mountain towns.

Its suposed to be cool but every time I go to Whistler i can't wait to get out of the place

Google " amenity Migrant " there are lots of articals & masters written about people moving to a cool place and changing it so it is no longer cool

Agree. One night a week at Big Sky (two days of skiing) is enough for me. I enjoy the resort town party atmosphere for a night but am happy to GTFO and back to a real town.

[2FUNKY]

Colville was already suggested. Sandpoint / CDA are another good landing spot. 2.5ish hrs to Red, Whitewater, Kimberly, Fernie, Whitefish. Come up to Fernie and I got a bed for ya.

Not anymore. Housing prices are through the freaking roof, MDU’s popping up like crazy, planning commission can fuck themselves for that. Traffic is a shit show. All the douchebag assholes from the coastlines seem to be moving here.

What's the issue with MDU's?

[2FUNKY]

What's the issue with MDU's?

Putting too much stress on infrastructure due to way too many people moving in too quickly. We are so far behind on infrastructure that it’s not even funny. Roads can’t handle the traffic, water and sewer, schools etc.

sounds right
I'm dreaming of moving all the time
some peopel want it some people want to run away from it

approching 30 years of ski town living
my 20s were top of the line dreamy
my 30s were trying hard to keep my shit together and grow up
my 40s I grew the fuck up and became a jaded local

[byates1]

buy a van and a few go pros and a few bikinis. film yourself in bikinis making avacado toast and complaining about starbucks. rake in the money. asscheeks in every thumbnail. you're welcome.

[plugboots]

My comment above was an FYI. Maybe you dig that shit.
Also being an older guy I remember when we used to be able to have a discussion about Federal rights versus State rides or other Republican versus Democrat, conservative versus progressive viewpoints. Now I swear, I talk to some of these folks and they’re like waiting for a Civil War. It’s they don’t seem to be able to disagree.
OK, this actually isn’t that hard. Find a small, (no college, ski lifts), town with mountains nearby, and check it out. Go a on a road trip. Oh yeah, climb to ski.

[MarsB]

Why no college? You'll at least have a few decent watering holes and some live music. Maybe even a little diversity. I stopped in Pocatello this past weekend on the way to Driggs and had a great lunch in a small brewery that let us bring our dog inside. Idaho State kids were starting to trickle in. Nice little downtown.

Ironically, one of the reasons people moved to CDA/Sandpoint from the coasts is to escape those high liberal taxes and goddamn regulation. What pays for the very much needed infrastructure upgrades and who plans and builds it??? Anyone? Anyone?


If you dont mind HEAVILY contaminate water, id suggest a cheap little town in Washington thats about 20mins from, what i would consider, a world class ski resort/area.

[plugboots]

Why no college?

I want coffee shops, cute liberal hippy chicks to sell stuff to me, string quartets invited by the college, lecturer series through the college etc., but all the college shit brings people in, and it gets “found out”.
You want under the radar before it’s found out.

Northport.

Where are you now?

Suck in STL. My busy season is coming up, so I’ll just road trip again form20-25 days. Trip to,fernie again.

To be honest, I fell in love with breck and the hikes etc. reminds me of chile, above the snow line. Wind buff,chalk etc.

[BobMc]

Sits in the midwest and calls us all morons…

[BobMc]

Just to clarify, Cono has for years talked about his days in the mountains. Meanwhile he backs that up by shitting on all those people that actually managed to make a life for it in the mountains.

Now he has to opportunity to come to the mountains he dreams about and will once again fail to do that. Dude, I don’t mean to shit on you but it’s on you. Just fucking do it, don’t worry about all the other shit, just do it.

[AdironRider]

FYI, the folks around there when they visit my little tourist town, (Winthrop, WA), say they are from “near Spokane” while the whole family is wearing pro-2nd amendment black outfits, or Fuck Joe Biden t-shirts, or whatever. Actually I’m fine with the opinion, but why do your clothes have to be your whole being?

My sister lives out on the beach by the Sisters and all her neighbors are 65 year old dudes with great tans making off color jokes and drinking at 10am.

Some damn cheap boating. Membership at the Elks and boat slip for like pennies compared to anywhere else.
