Not timezones related, but i found California to be a work hard/play hard culture. You're 100% on 8 - 5 and then all off, but still very active. Lots of people would go surfing or biking before work. Fruit stands and good fresh food and wine options made for frequent gatherings and much less 'chill alone at home' time. Nice free nature activities so almost every weekend= beach or mountains. That was pre-covid, in our 20's, and with young kids, so that was part of the activity too.

That's true. Washington is kind of like that, but only during summer. After that most people retreat into their holes and don't come out again until spring. Of course there are winter sports people, but I don't know any of them.

The ski areas in western Washington are too crowded to be worth it.

[–] Anticorp 1 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Steven's Pass is really busy? I've been thinking about trying skiing, and that's the closest place, but I despise overcrowded places.

You should try Baker, it's way better. Get there 30 minutes before the chairlifts start for good parking. Don't tell anyone else, lol.

Bah! That's 2 hours further away for me.

Agreed. Maybe if you can get out there on like a Tuesday morning or something, I don't know.

[–] Anticorp 1 points 4 days ago

Perhaps I'll take a couple days off work and head up there in the middle of the week like you suggested. Thanks!
