Moving from Steamboat to Bellingham

Because he's funny and can be very helpful and doesn't take anything seriously, and nobody should take him seriously.

You mentioned single and a 6 month old baby like back to back. Is that baby yours or the noise violation?

Definitely not my baby.

Baker has limited number of season passes each year, and the window is already closed. That's less than ideal. But said neighbor baby woke me up at 6 AM this morning and I'm pretty sure I'm pulling the trigger on moving because otherwise I will lose my mind with another 6 months of this.

[MarcusBrody]

What's your budget and are you looking to rent or buy? Bellingham has somewhat diverse housing options, but a lot of the better values aren't where I'd want to be. Granted, coming from Steamboat, everthing might look good.

[AdironRider]

blah blah blah
you don't think I know this shit?

where do you want to really start with this conversation?

but making a blanket assumption that everyone is mentally unstable or we are any different than anywhere else in the country is bullshit

Where to start? How about where the the availability of single ladies rests on the hierarchy of mental needs?

[AdironRider]

Haha ok my bad on thinking it was your kid.

In all seriousness, I just left a ski town for a more well rounded locale, albeit not Steamboat or Bellingham, and I'm also married with a kid. That said, it has been on the best decisions I have made in my adult life.

Don't get me wrong, I loved my 15 years in ski country, but I found the combination of crowds/aggro ski culture/massive influx of money and resulting keeping up with the Jones' to not be what my mind needed. The availability of other activities besides skiing is good for the soul. Being a one trick pony is not good when you inevitably get hurt or have to work or whatever.

I also manage to actually ski more now. I have no competition for pow days at the office, I do not wait in lift lines (indy area 4 minutes down the street), and I don't have to take a bus, park in a far lot, or pay an exorbitant amount to do it.

Are the women really better in Washington?

One advantage of all our liquid sunshine is that everyone over 40 doesn't have a face like an old catcher's mitt.

[fastfred]

please explain the ensuing shitshow, I am confused?

thanks dano glad you get it
some people have their panties in a bunch way to much
trying to be the smartest person in the room all the time must be painful for some

totally where were you at age 19? wasn't a ski town

[dunfree]

fauxfred is 40 and still cashing chips from being 19

I was wondering the same. Though I guess he could hit up Whistler for some Aussie and Asian ladies.

And for sure the ski areas in Washington and BC don't have hijinks such as this.

If anyone is looking for a single lady in Park City, we met a colorful redhead (no joke) at the bar in the Mid-Mountain lodge after a fantastic pow day last year. She was loudly proclaiming to the bartender and anyone who would listen how good she is at using her vibrator and enchanting tales of how her last several dates went horribly wrong. Again, loudly and for all to hear.

As sexually-enlightened as she seemed to be, she did strike us as a bit "off" so we left her unsolicited advances to the unattached patrons in the bar.

We next saw her in the Spur two days later where she fell down the last section of stairs on the way down from the second floor which she blamed on the bartender up there.

Saw her again a couple days later with her dog complaining to people at the bus station that there's no good men in town to date between drags on her cig.

Anyway, I think her name was Michelle or something. Good luck.

And they also don't have any smile-caused wrinkles!

She has a vibrator and a dog, why does she need a man?

Probably need to travel to Canada to see many Australians, but the Asian population in Western Washington is solid.

Redhead, you say?

Who was that Bellingham bus driver who used to post here? mtngirl or something like that? She was NOT our spirit animal.

[BmillsSkier]

She has a vibrator and a dog, why does she need a man?

Who's to say, but it didn't stop her from trying to find one, and then telling the world why it went so badly with each of them. The dog was a beautiful husky now that I think about it.

Redhead, you say?

Full-fledged. I shit you not, she told the bartender (and anyone else within earshot) that the "curtains match the drapes".

[The AD]

That's quite a double standard. Can you imagine how quickly a man would be thrown out for talking about how great they are at masturbating?

I think you missed a golden opportunity for one of TGR's best TRs. Le sad

I laft.

I think the bartender was afraid of her.

If Raps is still around and heads up to Park City maybe he could find her and give it the full Asspen treatment. She’s not hard to find given how many times we saw her after that intro in the mountain bar.

[Mofro261]

Even money says she used to work with Parvo.

The best part about girls is that they aren't dudes.

The reasons to move to Bellingham are because you are really stoked about rad mtnbiking 300 days/year rain and shine, have a remote job and thus can afford it, don't particularly like desert heat and sunshine, and don't want to live in a more busy metro like Seattle. While there is access to cool skiing, it is pretty far away and the ski area is tiny. Not a super compelling reason to move on its own - although that is a nice bonus and the bc access is good.
