Yeah, the ski length thing is brutal. A combo of age and far fewer days on the the mtn (50-ish to about 20) and a much different mtn: (Alta vs Purg) have me usually grabbing 178s while my 188 Norwalks just stare, all lonely.
I remember switching from 204 skinny to 190 Snow Rangers and feeling like such a kook.

I’m reading this with my prescription sunglasss inside as I left my normal glasses in the car while getting tires rotated. I’m in the progressive lens train anymore.
And I got a hemorrhoid flare up.

Pearl Jam's SECOND album, Vs., turns thirty this week. Heard that on the radio and it made me sad.

I also just put a pair of touring bindings on my resort skis so I can shred around with my girls in the comfort of my touring boots. That's some straight up dad shit.

190 Rangers were my 1st "mid-fat" skis... what a revelation those were.

One of the main signs for me has been how much better older women look to me.

That, and how I seem to have become invisible to younger women.

A big one for me is finding out I hurt myself later, like the next day when I get up, and not even knowing how I did it. My left bicep is sore as shit near my elbow right now. When I went to bed last night it was fine.

They have to be paid to notice you. 30something cutie nurse in the ICU, “I like your hair”. She then kept me up all night creeping in my room, not in the way 30 something me would’ve liked. Another sign I’m getting old.

I miss when the front third of the DC10 Widebody was an open bar.

Hemorrhoids just showing up and knocking on the door (if you know what I mean).

No warning, just an uninvited guest.

I'm 54 and I remember smoking at the rear of the plane.

Yeah, but he thinks he's all that...
Like those peeps who have exactly the same hairstyle from their youth.
Or who always tell the same joke when drunk.

Get off my lawn you young punk. “Smoking section?”, GTFO, I remember when the entire plane allowed smoking.

I have a theory: dunfree is so miserable because he's on this ski forum and all he had 100 years ago to ski on was 12' long pieces of wood, no bindings and some sort of leather boot/moccasin.

Now he is filled w rage watching everyone effortlessly drift around on the latest and greatest.

Smoking section on my plane..

Oh and I've thrown my back out just bending over to buckle my boot... Could hardly ski... Went home after 2 hours of taking it easy just getting some laps because wasn't going to bail after driving 3 hours to get there.. Then 6 weeks of misery... from bucking my fucking boot.

I have told this story elsewhere, but this Spring me and some bros were in Denver for a Jason Isbell concert. We were at a restaurant, a super cute, bubbly server, which we had been sort of flirting with, asks why we were in town. I said why, and in front of my dudes she says

"Awesome! My dad LOVES Jason Isbell!"

Hilarity ensued.
FUCK ME
