A mechanic I know in Vancouver BC moved inland with his husband 4 years ago since he felt they could never buy a home with Vancouver BC wages.
From what I have seen outside of the tech industry the wage scale is very similar to Portland Oregon, but without the benefit of the significantly cheaper housing in Portland. Skiing is really close by tho :)
- brailsafe 5y agoI like Portland, it's been too long since last visiting. Also quite envious of the people I know who do ski. I love the mountains, but have no skiing exp at all lol
- rullopat 5y agoI learnt to ride on the snowboard at 36 without skiing experience before, you can do it too. Btw, for a newbie, skiing is much easier than snowboard for sure, you don’t fall every 2 seconds.
- pbhjpbhj 5y agoI'd recommend padded waterproof cycling shorts under your salopettes if learning to snowboard. My arse was so cold after a morning of sitting on the snow that I couldn't feel the toilet seat beneath it! I could already ski, after ~5 hours of lessons (group lessons in 2 chunks) I was fine for red runs and such.
- brailsafe 5y agoYup, that was my first experience with snowboarding. Ass pads ftw
- brailsafe 5y agoI definitely think it's learnable, but the money for snowsports has just never been there :( maybe in the future
