If altitude is a problem for you, there are some great products out there that make a huge difference, both natural remedies and medical options.? I hear that the best thing known to be a cure for altitude sickness is ****(seriously) because it increases the oxygen in the blood flow.
But if you use that, and fall, you may have a whole new set of problems. :)

NICE PIC!
And love the outfit. You look great.

****! Yes, heard the same at HH camp last year! A participant and buddy, neonatal ICU nurse practitioner and pediatric cardiologist were talking abut off label **** uses. They use it in preterm babies! Said it is a wonder drug? for some babies. No puns intended.

And just think about all the skiers trying to ski tall! Just give them a pill and they are skiing more erect as soon as they get warmed up!

On a more serious note, anyone considering taking it for altitude issues should make real sure they have no underlying cardiac/health issues.
Thanks for the compliment.  Its been a great experience out here so far(less than 2 full months)

My experience with altitude sickness relates to my ex.  He has a rare disease that has effected his lung capacity so he required a lot of prep before we took trips to Colorado.  His Pulmonary specialist gave him some tips for altitude prep and said he'd prescribe **** if it became necessary, describing the benefits [insert humour here]
He never got the **** but instead he tried a natural food store option from New Chapter called Breathe http://www.vitaglo.com/nc0237.html
It worked well for him and made many trips to the mountains possible.

Sometimes you just need to let your Bad Self ski!!
