I've had two group projects this week and both partners have flaked leaving everything to me. Why me. This is way too much stress.

I just moved to a new place, new hill, new team. I'm on a trip with said new team to get some early season skiing in. I don't know if it's being new or something, but the girls avoid me like I have a disease or something. I'm a pretty forward, out there person; some might say loud... but I'm a nice gal seriously, and way fun. I've been alone in my hotel room for three hours (we aren't skiing today) doing homework and NSing because what the fuck else is there to do when nobody tells you where they're going and what they're doing. My boyfriend and best friends are 700 miles away and in school right now, and although I'd usually talk to the mom on this one, she's currently being a cross country traveler and I don't want to bug her. So, here I am ladies. What should I do?? I'm torn between staying quiet and letting them come to me so as not to come off as "annoying" or just like putting myself out there but risk getting fucked over for the season if they judge me too quick and decide they don't like me. Obviously new to this friend making shit lol.

I would think the best thing you can do is just do what you want to do! Sounds like you don't want to be in your hotel room, so go explore! (if you're in an area that you can), be confident in your own decisions and be yourself. Make an effort to be friendly but don't suck up to them, girls can be super stand offish, (and that's lame, but I'm guilty of it myself) don't wait for them to give you some nod of approval, just do what makes you happy! I bet they'll come around.

Ugh that sounds crappy. Is this high school or college? It seems odd to me that the team wouldn't make a better effort to make you feel welcomed. I think you should put yourself out there and approach them yourself, it sounds like they aren't going to be the ones to initiate something. Making new friends is hard. Best of luck!

It's high school, it's a ski academy as well which I guess could make it worse too. Put a bunch of competitive people in a group together and then add on the fact that we're girls and we're bitchy can just make it like 10x worse. Thanks for the vibes :))

yeah totally the high school aspect is gonna be a big factor in this. girls suck, thats all there really is to it, and especially when they're in such a competitive high school setting. It's set up for drama. Good luck tho! :D

Somehow kinda forgot how fun skiing is, and also how hard it is on the body.

Feeling like I'm a hundred years old today after skiing all day yesterday.

But so hyped for the rest of the season!

Hi Girls, Kinda new to all this but thought this would be a great place and time to start.
So i wanted to know what works for you. When life is just on a really shitty streak and pretty much nothing is going well how do you get over it or pick yourself up? Any input would be great!!

My friend brought me to a party with her, as she only knew the guy hosting the party. She then spent the entire party (and I mean the entire party) asking me what to text her boyfriend and texting her boyfriend. This party was sick, had a huge room with a DJ, smoke machines and awesome music. She was even texting him on the dance floor. In the end I made new friends and stayed for another two hours after she left and had a great time. But why even bring me in the first place if all she was going to do was text?

For the first time since moving in, all of my clothes are clean at the same time and I am now short 20 hangers... oops.


Also my roommates got a dog without asking me first and are expecting me to take care of it. If we(well they) get caught we all get fined 250 dollars. I'm not fucking paying that shit, I hope they know that.

Climate change is real. There is one lift open at the top of my mountain, but the coverage is so low they can't groom it. So it's just 900 vert of ice moguls with entirely too many people crammed onto the non rocky sections. I don't think I can handle it if this season ends up as bad as last season in the PNW.

Might be Moving to Bend, my sister is a shedevil, my boyfriend and I are going to have to move to different places, I drank way too much coffee today, I can't wait to not speak to my sister for another 2 years, my car needs an oil change, I have two job offers for the winter and I can't make everyone happy and its stressing me out, my sister is a bitch, I only have a week before all the forest service fire jobs in the PNW close, I made friends with a goat, I miss my dog, and I only have one more day till I go back to Colorado. I have a lot on my mind I guess.

I've had a bunch of people ask me lately how a little girl like me gets a job in lift maintenance. I'm like dude, being a chick has absolutely nothing to do with it. I got the job because of my work ethic, lift experience, connections in the department and stellar references. They always seem surprised that i'm ok with being a grease monkey. Idk its just kind of annoying being asked all the time about my job in a way that concerns my gender.

It's really annoying when people say stuff is sexist when it really isn't at all.

How is a boy telling me that he likes my dress sexist? OH YOURE WEARING A DRESS THATS WHAT GIRLS DO AND SAYING ITS NICE IS SO SEXIST.

Like actually please calm down because I'm sure that is not really sexist and it isn't meant to be and you just look like an over dramatic person who is easily offended.

Just checked their site and it says they have a 48 inch base, which is pretty solid. Definitely a bit more than we have at Washington resorts, and we're doing pretty okay right now. PNW has been getting blasted with storms the last couple of weeks. Another one on the way for this Friday too. Feels a lot better than all of last season already.

I'm definitely feeling the leg pain. Those early season pow days are rough, it always makes me think of Futurama: "The spirit is willing, but the flesh is spongy and bruised."
