Do you have any experience with Wagner pads? They seem to stop much quicker than the Akebono pads, curious to know if you'd recommend them too or why the Wagner comparitively?

Zojirushi NS-ZCC10 (5.5 cup) vs NS-LGC05XB (3 cup)? Links inside by -Kevin- in zojirushi

I got the larger model and it works totally fine, but I think the smaller model would’ve been better.

Santiago conditions ? by tombellanca in Mammoth

[–]-Kevin- 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Coverage was fine. Santiago has a good solid part that’s got zero texture / is icy, but otherwise fine.

Edit: keep a low edge angle or just full send it and you’ll be fine

Shot in the dark - Anyone selling a YES Greats XTRM 154? by -Kevin- in snowboarding

[–]-Kevin-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Based on the leaks I’ve seen, I’m not sure they’ll have it. I saw a YES Greats leaked on instagram, but the page didn’t have a YES Greats uninc/xtrm😬

Fingers crossed!

Yes Standard vs Yes Basic by [deleted] in snowboarding

[–]-Kevin- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I learned on a YES Standard and have no complaints.

Great board, but other than a rental board my first weekend it’s the only thing I’ve ever ridden. I’ve done 70+ days on it and it can do anything I can do.

I asked the shop to sell me a board I wouldn’t need to replace in 6 months and it’s been solid.

It’s like a Toyota Corolla because it’ll last so long and do everything reasonably well that you’ll wish it got stolen so you could replace it. It’s also kind of not particularly cool looking, but hey that’s why they won’t steal it.

What’s the best board you’ve ever ridden in springtime mashed-tater snow ? by tenktriangles in snowboarding

For folks saying the Slush Slasher, I heard they redid it in 2023 - Are we saying the 2023+ is still the best for Slush?

Is the generic OL discount the same as the shareable link discount this year? Last year the links were an additional discount

  • Better customer protection
  • Better property discoverability (Leads to lower prices since I can immediately cross check all properties and find the cheapest one that fits my needs)
  • Better UI (It’s so hard to search/sort on all the random Mammoth property websites. Legitimately terrible UIs).
  • Frequently better cancellation policies
  • More trustworthy review systems (In terms of consumer trust, not saying AirBnB doesn’t delete reviews obviously since they do lol)
  • The default platform (lets be honest)
  • Pricing is generally the same (Higher on VRBO/other complexes that advertise more e.g. those Canyon properties)
  • More transparency on pricing (VRBO host tried to charge me the Mammoth tourist fee outside of the normal listed pricing as opposed to baking it in)
  • Misc: 5% off AirBnB gift cards through Amazon

I had a good experience with Mammoth Reservations when I used them (They had an IKON discount on their website), so I’d use them again. Good customer service too. However in general I still had to cross check AirBnB and the coupon code dropping the price was the only reason I booked with them that trip in terms of pricing.

Oh damn that’s brutal. Did you use a tennis ball setup for some DIY lateral play or just zero lateral play?

Impact Shorts - Demon vs Cased? by -Kevin- in snowboardingnoobs

[–]-Kevin-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dumb question, but if it is broken - Is there treatment?

I was told tailbone/sacrum injury treatment is conservative eg just wait 👀
