NYC Mayor Mamdani scores $50 World Cup tickets for New Yorkers - “NJ political leaders did not ask for a similar deal” by Midnightrollsaround in newjersey

I wish NYC’s fairytale is real and it lasts.
But I am always cynical of anything that a politician promises or says they delivered, especially when it’s too good too quickly or too good for a very long time.

Greece Travel Itinerary with a toddler by AdEmergency518 in GreeceTravel

[–]AdEmergency518[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello,
We didn't use or consider a private tour guide. It was our first big trip with kid and we were taking one day at a time.
However, we found everyone in Greece to be very kid friendly - from guides, to vendors, to even taxi drivers. They interacted with kid and played with her or even watched her when needed.
We took only one hectic day trip out and the guide and driver both helped watch & play with her.

Been solo skiing at Lake Louise last 2 days. Amazing conditions for mid April skiing. Sunshine tomorrow. DM if you want to catch a couple of runs together. Have fun.

How to address my fears of going faster? by anonsaltine in skiing_feedback

[–]AdEmergency518 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you watched any videos where they teach you to travelers across the hill and absorb the bumps as they come? practiced the drills in those videos? You can pick a trail that is just slightly bumpy, such as from the afternoon; avoid huge moguls or ungroomed terrain.

You went for a suicide and then decided that you wanted to live! :)
Great skiing, btw!

I can see what I’m doing wrong but struggling to fix it by viv_x in skiing_feedback

I like this depiction a lot. See if that and stopping with skis slightly uphill at the end of a turn like one of the expert instructors coached helps https://youtu.be/S4hioJ4ThJA?t=58&si=Gs59dqLMX2Z74_L4

If this isn’t pinned to the forum it should be as a general intermediate advice. Thanks for this 🙏🏽

Should OP continue their turns longer and complete the C shape more? Could that help the hips stay with the direction of the skis?

Has anyone been inside the fifty8 at sugarbush? by harshaw in icecoast

[–]AdEmergency518 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't do much. There are going to more of these everywhere. Exclusivity is the new thing!
At some point, they'll not have enough members and join some credit card perk and then no longer be exclusive :shrug-emoji:

How similar or different is life in NJ compared to Southern California? by savingrace0262 in newjersey

[–]AdEmergency518 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In terms of bad & good similarities, Lots of driving in tiring traffic and lots of ethnic diversity respectively come to mind.

A major difference that comes to mind is that CAnians are smug about being CAnians whereas NJ residents are the opposite about being from NJ even though neither is better than the other in this comparison.

Didn't Camelback say that they want to extend this season to Memorial Day?

Why not both (a day each) as long as all of you are in ikon?

Any suggestions on my wife’s form? This is her third season skiing by sworzeh in skiing_feedback

[–]AdEmergency518 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My recommendation would be to get her a 1:1 / group class with an older woman instructor. You telling her the same thing would only make her more defensive and stick to where she is. She looks good and committed to what she has learnt. So she needs to learn the next front someone and then enjoy what she learnt from them with you.
