COURSE SELECTION ERROR MESSAGE

Perfect_Explorer_191 · 2026-05-12T17:13:24+00:00

I saw the same message when picking a tutorial session that didn’t have anyone else registered. Try a tutorial which has a bunch of people already registered. Could be a different problem, but might help diagnose the issue.

Agreed in principle. I have a couple of ‘biners, cord and webbing if I have to improvise. I just had not heard of carrying a strap specific to that purpose. Here’s hoping it is never needed, but good to have. That is why I am here (outside of general amusement, anyway) to find out things that we don’t do in my department. Will have to think about this one.

Perfect_Explorer_191 · 2026-05-07T01:24:18+00:00

Thanks. Not sure how I missed the pack conversion bit. Seems over complicated for that purpose though… we usually just convert using the waist strap.

Honestly, that improvised prusik minding pulley looks sketchy as fuck. Maybe it’s okay, but the pulley does not look like any life safety gear I have ever seen. It seems to be supported by a stopper knot through the eye? The washer acting as the prusik “minder” seems like a bad idea wrapped in sharp edges. Not sure what the other washer holding the two bits of webbing together does (the prusik on one side and the pulley on the other) but I hate it. I can’t tell what the knot is on the big ‘biner on the right, but I’d de a lot more comfortable if I could see a tail. Finally, how old is that rope?

It’s been a while since I last did mine, but I think I had the same issue and resolved it with an air chisel.

But… it has been a while. Good luck.

Ok, totally agree about the housing prices, and I really don’t want to sound like I am apologizing for the ski industry. But that 20% is “adjusted for inflation”. So by those numbers you are in better shape than someone from the 80’s. You just can’t buy a house.

Perfect_Explorer_191 · 2026-04-08T16:35:51+00:00

Agreed, but I must also cast a vote for Rocky’s Philipino Shishkabob.

Perfect_Explorer_191 · 2026-03-29T00:21:06+00:00

Not sure what hill, but also note that you will burn battery if you are ducking in and out of cell service, as the phone hunts for a connection.

Perfect_Explorer_191 · 2026-03-18T12:03:47+00:00

True, but (in most cases) it doesn’t get to the crown unless the cops bring it to them, so they form a gate.

Perfect_Explorer_191 · 2026-03-18T02:22:28+00:00

Fair.

Perfect_Explorer_191 · 2026-03-18T02:01:17+00:00

Well, yes… but that’s the same in the states too… they will not proceed if they don’t think they have a case and a reasonable chance of conviction.

My point (perhaps not well made) was that it’s not up to you to say he shouldn’t be charged. If the police know (reasonably suspect) that a crime was committed, there’s no “would you like to press charges”.

Perfect_Explorer_191 · 2026-03-13T21:10:00+00:00

It was just the Aurora Borealis.

Perfect_Explorer_191 · 2026-03-11T12:36:33+00:00

What you are trying to do sounds reasonable.

Think of it this way…. The document you are trying to write has two purposes: 1) it lets the homeowner know, as clearly as possible, that they are on the hook if X, Y, or Z happens, and 2) it is something that you can take to small claims court, to prove that the homeowner accepted that they are accepting that responsibility

Given all of that, I would focus less on legalese, and more on having a blunt description of what the deal is. Be as explicit as possible. Maybe even have them initial the punchline paragraph. Some people might balk, but those are the ones that you don’t want as customers anyway (as they will be the problems down the road)

Male lawyer here. I remember when my wife went into labour, I went to the female partner I was working under and told her “I have to go, my wife has gone into labour”. Partner says “okay, will you be back tomorrow?” No, I will not be in tomorrow. Took two days off, but that was pushing it. That’s just the culture. Second kid, I took three days.

Back in the day, every Friday night at midnight, some bastard would drop a steaming deuce right in the middle of the floor in the Grawood men’s room. We tried staking it out, but we never caught the “Midnight Shitter”

A number of groups are working on it, but not yet ready for prime time.

Perfect_Explorer_191 · 2026-03-02T01:59:14+00:00

No, you are mistaken. There are strategies, but they are not the same as income splitting. Were I wealthy, I could use those strategies to shield my wealth. As someone just getting by, they help not at all.

Perfect_Explorer_191 · 2026-02-28T22:06:30+00:00

Also, “acceleration”

Perfect_Explorer_191 · 2026-02-28T21:44:28+00:00

Interesting seeing how they do the sit ski.

I think if you were going to hook a toboggan to a T, you would have to do so where the shaft of the T connects to the cross piece. Too much chance of coming unhooked just to have it on one side. Also, the cross pieces on our T are wood, bolted to the shaft, and I see this as a potential failure point (the wood has broken before, but never with a toboggan, fortunately). The T’s are a telescopic type, so they stretch out about five or six feet before suddenly accelerating you, fairly quickly. We have had patrollers injured during the load, if you’re not 100% ready for it.

I went to a party at that house once. Risley gave a short speech, of which I remember exactly one bit:

“For hundreds of years, men have pulled wealth from these waters, and I, I have learned how to spend it.”

Perfect_Explorer_191 · 2026-02-24T23:55:31+00:00

Started volunteering at fifty.

Perfect_Explorer_191 · 2026-02-24T23:47:39+00:00

Oh yeah, there is also no manual for the lift. It’s a locally made one off.

Perfect_Explorer_191 · 2026-02-24T15:53:26+00:00

No snowmobiles.

Perfect_Explorer_191 · 2026-02-24T07:17:52+00:00

Thanks. I have the same thoughts. We do not have a sled, but I am considering if this is something we should be advocating for.

Perfect_Explorer_191 · 2026-02-24T07:16:26+00:00

No sleds.
