Hey Mike...breathing at altiude is not optional...and make sure you breath when turning to the right and to exhale with turning to the left.

When going straight, make sure you hold your breath and only stop when you need to breath.

As far as Diamox, it works for me in smaller doses and I'd never go above 8000 feet without it. It eliminates headaches and allows me to breath easier so I can sleep.

My 2 daughters moved from 300 feet to 6000 feet in Boulder. I think it took them 6-12 months to acclimate for running and hiking.

Viagara for altitude...Hmmm...a Lynn....is THAT what you prescribe for Jim??

That could be a whole lot of trouble for guys apres' skiing or getting in or out of the hot tub.

Lynn...you prankster you!!!?

ps ...Trish...the conditions look so sweet...glad you're making the best of it!
