I know one person who got a concussion and another who broke their arm while skiing

I live in Colorado and used to go skiing a couple times every year as a kid (ie, when my parents were paying for it). It's pretty fun to go sliding down a scenic mountain at 30 mph, and it's rewarding to learn and get better. But now that I'm an adult I've decided that it's not really worth it to wake up early on a weekend, drive 2+ hours, freeze my ass off, spend a lot of money, and possibly hurt myself. Speaking of, you definitely want a helmet if you don't want to end up like Sonny Bono.
There are a few smaller and cheaper ski slopes that aren't crowded with rich tourists, but they're the exception. I've run into plenty of rich dickheads on the slopes, and lots of loud obnoxious Texans dressed fully in Cowboys gear.
Thanks for the plug
Evan is a cool dude
Thanks for the plug. I'll also recommend Turn Leftist, The Intervention, and Left of Projector, who we've collaborated with in the past. And Collective Action Comics.
We've run across this guy and some of his followers online. I'm not 100% sure if there's something shady going on, but it sure seems like it. His friends seem really eager to create divisions between leftists. Either he's kind of an ineffective idiot, or a fed, or both.
It was a bit of a stretch on my part, since the new contracts don't fully eliminate tiers

It was supposed to be "No More Tears" by Ozzy when we were talking about tiers of autoworkers.
Antifreeze isn't permitted on racetracks because if it spills out it can ruin the traction for any cars behind you.

Don't go to that url, it's anti-cycling propaganda

To be fair, you were sort of forced to move to Colorado
