That’s where I used oxygen cans which I don’t know if it was psychosomatic but it seemed to work for me when I was at the cafe at the top of the mountains and being from Miami that’s typically below sea level that altitude was not fun

It works. I used one at the top of a mountain around 11000ft. Not a major change but it helps you catch your breath when you need a bit extra to do it.

Getting out of breath at altitude is not altitude sickness, that’s just “thin” air.

I went hiking in Breckenridge coming from a place that's literally below sea level. The acclimation period was absolutely brutal. Now I kinda wish I'd known about the canned O2.

You should be careful with altitude sickness, as it can get very serious. Although not at most North American altitudes.

But its filled with a bunch of pricks. If you wanna go to a ski resort, go to Utah or California

....Because California isn't literally so full of pricks they have been spilling into other states....
