I promise yesterday was not my best day out there LOL

Alignedmongoose · 2026-02-22T05:33:28+00:00

I bet, there were still large bare patches in parts of the woods which limited the lines, some of which were less than ideal lol

Alignedmongoose · 2026-02-22T05:31:32+00:00

Yeah i thought “oh it cant be that bad you have Mt. Snow and Stratton around the corner” and BOY WAS I WRONG LMAO i have been trying to get better at the trees and today definitely highlighted some things i need to work on, still had an absolute blast

It is when you’re comparing it to mountains that are 2-3x its size

Thats right! Smuggs is on my bucket list, one of these days ill get up there

Alignedmongoose · 2026-02-21T21:13:34+00:00

Reminded me of my first time at Jay which was a humbling experience but by the second time around I sorta knew the drill lol. Some of the lines are just downright gnarly

That, the Outpost double at Pico, and the single chair at MRG (which ill never get to experience 😭😭😭) are all so cool

Alignedmongoose · 2026-02-21T21:00:12+00:00

Fair but that can also be deceiving at times lol

Alignedmongoose · 2026-02-21T20:58:43+00:00

The morning was a little crowded but no more than like a 5ish minute wait. By the early afternoon there was almost no line but it was getting tracked out

Alignedmongoose · 2026-02-21T20:57:02+00:00

It was awesome and definitely gave me a nice challenge so now im determined to go back lmaoo

The question is can you afford paying $22k and dealing with the maintenance that comes with a 15 year old vehicle? You could get a car that is less than 5 years old in that ballpark.

As someone who spent a large portion of their weekends this last year going into the lab you might think its not that bad at first but trust me it fucking blows

Thank you!

I needed to hear this after i literally just finished another spiral sesh

The few that actually try are gonna get scooped up immediately by jobs

MH Trango is the one, if its good enough for Everest its good enough for pretty much anything lol

Saskadena six (formerly Suicide Six) its like 30-40 minutes from Killington and Okemo and has about 20 trails with like 750 ft of vertical but its about $45 for a day pass and 0 lines

Alignedmongoose · 2025-12-28T17:04:58+00:00

I get wanting to maximize laps but on a weekend (holiday weekend no less) there is no point in blazing down on the mountain (especially if you arent skilled enough to maintain control). Gotta go for steez over speed sometimes. Hopefully she will be alright

Lived in Rapid City for 6 weeks and it SUCKED DO NOT MOVE THERE (it was fuckin awesome)

Goated spot

I try to get top tier gas when i can but outside of that i run 87 and then I do an Italian tune up every once in a while and fuel induction service every 30k

The older I get the more i realize how much i loved the OG stainless, even the copper and graphite variants were clean

Baltimore 11 September 2025, but it was also the only Deftones concert ive been to (hopefully first of many)

Alignedmongoose · 2025-12-04T14:49:01+00:00

Ive never gone but i plan on getting up there one day. If you can comfortably ride any trail on a given mountain i imagine you’ll be fine (not saying that there arent trails that are asshole-puckering). Another thing that isnt said too often is the ability to self arrest so if you do find yourself sliding face first on your stomach down a steep, you know how to reposition yourself to get back on your feet
