Enjoy skiing, climbing, mountaineering, riding bikes, trail running, cooking, and economics. Avoid avalanches, off-widths, crevasses, cars, roads, fast food, and drama.

Sweet, get to watch Cody compete in X Games Street Style Pro for my Bday after skiing all day with friends and family - and then 🎉. Shortest day, longest night! #skiing

No turkey this year, just skiing and Raclette. Thankful for the best early season snow at Alpine Meadows in years. ⛷️🧀

Revisiting my first tweets from Twttr in 2006. There was no mobile app. You sent an SMS text message to the shortcode 40404. Your friends tweets were received as text messages. Hence the engagement incentive was low volume/high quality and answering “what are you doing right now?”

"I feel at times that Strava wakes up each morning, heads to work, looks out over the San Francisco Bay from their offices, and asks itself: How can we anger our users and partners today? How can we make everyone’s life more difficult today?"

Exactly.
Strava’s just announced some massive changes that will ultimately kill off a lot of 3rd party apps, impact other platforms, and reduce the value of Strava. Here’s why this matters, who’s it going to break, and more: www.dcrainmaker.com/2024/11/stra...

Looks like there’s about to be a lot to be thankful for this Thanksgiving. #tahoe #skiing
