7·4 days agoAs a Coloradan: please anyone but Frackenlooper
3·5 days agoI don’t know any more than what’s in that episode, but you could try contacting Zac. Although he just had a kid recently so I imagine he’s pretty busy. IIRC the AFC is some type of non-profit.

Do you mean he’s a sellout because he endorsed Biden or did I miss something?
Our podcast gets a lot of downloads from the DC area, and we mostly just talk about shitty old cars

be mad at yourself all winter for moving away from the midwest.
To be fair, you were sort of forced to move to Colorado
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.
