Pretty good Boulder rant....

[WhiteHunter]

Luckily I had a 5am start and caught a bright red sky of a sunrise at the top of Flattop. Just blown away by the lack of smiles and responses to me being friendly on the descent. Maybe they were all pissed I was hiking down by 730am while they were still below treeline.

Maybe you haven't realized that you are one the few crazy fuckers who enjoy getting out of a perfectly good bed before the sun rises! :-) Or maybe you just ran into a string of the millions of flat landers working so hard to grasp every bit of oxygen available that they had nothing left to acknowledge your inconsequential pleasantries. last time I was there I was too hungover to get to the trailhead before 10:30. I'm pretty sure I barely responded to the first 50-100 people that passed me on the trail, but I still appreciated the fading light as I descended that evening and enjoyed talking to strangers on the deck at Estes Park Brewery at dinner.

I don't like talking to anybody before 8am. Different strokes. It's all good however you like it as far as I'm concerned.

I bike at Standley lake in westminster. I see alot of these type of people. Last week said good morning to 5 straight people with no response. I am from kansas, being outside biking with a mountain view is all i need to be stoked. Having said that, all the 'dudes' i met biking were all cool. Just might not be to many 'dudes' in westminster.

Every outdoor-centric place is like that to some extent. Boulder is just overwhelmingly so. Which is a big reason I don't ever see returning to the front range.

I liked it there (Denver), but just too many people spraying constantly about how extreme they are.

We are extreme...... That's why you live here. People are über athletes here. And there are lots of them. I used to hate it. I worked in the ski industry for 13 years and they(we) are the worst. I would talk to a guy at the shop, hear all the crap about how good he was, how he needs a ski that will do this and that because anything less will not work due to his extreme skills. I would see them on the mountain and at he really needs Is a lesson and some skis 10cm shorter. I was was soooo sick of it. I quit skiing I got burnt out. I went from skiing 21 days before Christmas to not going for 7 years At all ,,,, nothing , not even a ski movie, or a mag, things I was addicted to before on huge doses.

Then I realized get over it. It's what gives skiing and other sports character. Want to talk to a true skier or athlete. Find the ones who are not talking.

I love it here

It breathes athlete
It makes you want to stay in shape
Be nice to people
Run
Ski bike climb
Try new sports

Elevate to a high level

It is sweet!

Mork took her back to Ork when all the extremo faggots took over Boulder and forced all the acid freaks out into the burbs.

They all had XXXXS Mammut base layer on .... dead giveaway you're from Boulder.

Bottom line: Boulder has enough hot ass running around to more than make up for any other issues with its populace.

TRUTH

I wish I was single some nights I spend downtown... there are enough girls running around in mini skirts to make a man loose his mind.

But then I remember that's really only fun for one night, herpes on the other hand stays with you the rest of your life.

and yet they still have no gay bar.

Yeah, but Golden is closer to the skiing.
