    I Hate Perimenopause

    You are so much kinder, mustski! When I worked in California I threatened coworkers with their lives if they touched the thermostat! I figured they could bundle up, but it wouldn't be pretty if I had to strip down. :bounce:

    I Hate Perimenopause

    I started showing signs of perimenopause at 38; I finished at 52. World's record? You tell me. But I did get on birth control for 10 of those years so it may have put off the inevitable.

    I Hate Perimenopause

    Wish I had known about mirena. I had the longest, slowest menopause on earth. :boom: But I can tell you this, it makes post-menopause feel like heaven. I love it! If I can just slow down my bone loss, I'm a happy camper.

    Custom Liners

    Intuition Liners For anyone getting up to Tahoe, Bud Heishman fit my liners perfectly. Is he still at the Grand Sierra in Reno, Snowhot? I didn't ski on them for two years, and when I tried them on Monday they fit so well and molded to my foot I really needed help getting them on! But he solved...

    Where is winter???

    Skiied Brighton on Monday It was a blast! Never been to Brighton before, and it was so nice, laid back, relaxed even though a little crowded for a Monday. I was so worried about all the slush I saw on the way up, but as soon as I got above Solitude it was dry and lovely. Will be back again...

    ACL Surgery - Graft Choice

    This is so helpful to me! I think I sprained my ACL a couple of months ago indoor surfing. I was afraid I would need surgery since high impact is till painful, but so glad to hear that surgery is not necessary for partial ACL tears. I'm quite sure I didn't tear through it, but I don't have...

    Tipping your ski instructor _ advice?

    Thanks for the tip on tipping! I'm really glad we're discussing this. I tipped for a group lesson, $100 for two days because I got a lot of inidividual attention and great instruction. But I noticed alll the other folks skipping happily away and wondered if one usually tips for group lessons...

    Question: Moving to be closer to better skiing

    Utah Plug Really great comments, as usual. I have a little to offer from the Mormon perspective. I was a liberal Mormon from Pennsylvania and moved to Utah and felt that "outcast" feeling. Over time I realized it had more to do with the family culture in UT. More traditional Mormons often have...

    TJ Maxx

    T J MAXX Swamp Dog: does anyone know when TJs starts getting winter/ski clothes in? I'm trying sooo hard to stay away from TramDock and the like, hoping to get to see/feel/touch before laying out the green. Swamp Dog, does that mean you can get a better deal at Tramdock than TJ's?

    Utah Season Passes

    Brian Head Passes weasy, thanks for your generosity! (Love these divas.) :love: I am applying for a job in Southern Utah, and now Brian Head would be about 90 min. away, so I doubt I'd get to the Canyons much, though I do love it there. Anybody have an inside line to Brian Head? (Anybody...

    NEW BOOTS!!

    Hi gardenmary, I am in the Antelope Valley, the high desert North of LA. We live close to Wrightwood, Big Bear, and got up to Tahoe last year. How about you? I think there are a few others from SoCal, like skibum4ever. I did get heat-fitted liners for my boots in Reno, and can't wait to...

    How do you feel about buying last year's models?

    Yay for bargains! Definitely love the bargain. Sport Chalet had a 75% off sale a couple of weeks ago, and we picked up $1500 of equipment, for like, $360. It was fabulous! DD had drooled over some Roxy boots, and found them in a perfect size for $35. I never want to pay full price, even if I...

    How'd you find TheSkiDiva.com?

    Tip from Epic When I decided to come back to skiing last year, I began pestering the Bears over at Epic about skis for women. They gave me what info they had, and then steered me toward theskidiva.com. Thank heavens! I have learned a ton here, and have enjoyed the camaraderie immensely. Keep up...
