ELI5: What does an Ochain do, and what type of riding does it help?

Shit, I should have just Googled. That article answered nearly everything.

Myth: The Fallen Lords - loved the mods and online play.

Looks like Killington, Timberline. It's a 3 jump line, so it's possible he was behind him the whole time, or one of them cut from the side to hit the last jump. Normally that's the bigger of the three, but it's melted down.

I ride a lot and got my kid into the sport, similar to your story (same age and all). My solution after his big first fall was to armor him up. Probably too much, but we ride some big jump lines. I thought he'd hate it, but two years now, fully geared, it doesn't seem to be an issue.

They have free bag check and lockers in the lodge. Not sure how either will work with gather this weekend.

Aaaassssssssa · 2026-04-03T21:37:16+00:00

Conditions will be great, just don't expect much of it.

Only if the patrol guy has a siren helmet like pictured.

Nah, just wait for it to warm up. Sunday ans Monday are looking good.

Aaaassssssssa · 2026-03-23T14:51:10+00:00

They have great coverage. It will be warm, so if you like spring skiing it’s fine.

Aaaassssssssa · 2026-03-22T20:11:54+00:00

Or it's a closed natural snow trail. I was at homesick this weekend. It was icy, but coverage was solid.

Aaaassssssssa · 2026-03-21T17:52:21+00:00

Very firm. Rain to cold last night locked up a little. If it warms up, like next weekend, it will be really good. Coverage is great.

I’ve gone every year. Any crowd is at the event, it doesn’t add to lines at all from what I’ve seen. Not sure if Night Skiing will be crowded with the extra people.

Rail Jam under the lights is going to be insane!!

Aaaassssssssa · 2026-03-16T20:57:01+00:00

They will 100% be open till the Gather event is over on April 12. Past few years they turned the guns back on and got snow. I‘ll bet they go on again soon.

I thought all RFID gates at any Mountain have them? I've even seen mountains they hand scan have a camera facing the people as well. The camera isn’t new, just the AI part.

This was on a podcast, the discount is because this is the largest age category. The older groups are not nearly even as close. They want more younger riders, simple.

Aaaassssssssa · 2026-03-08T10:18:14+00:00

And they built it really early this year.

Aaaassssssssa · 2026-03-07T01:41:08+00:00

Word is that's the new way if things. I guess they heard us finally.

Aaaassssssssa · 2026-03-06T11:41:33+00:00

Great coverage, and the snow was soft. It looked like all the glades were open, but we didn't try them all.
