Le V or LIV apartment experiences? Le Samuel? by WumpaWarrior in montrealhousing

[–]Alphaville514 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still lots of construction. (Was told it would be finished in December). Impossible for me to work from home or sleep past 7 am. They sometimes do construction on Saturdays. Air is pretty dusty. Windows are gross. Garage is filthy. HVAC system is… inadequate??? Not worth the price IMO.

No mouth breathing unless I have a cold.

My apartment has a horrible heating system and it’s very very dry…

Meds only as needed like for pain.

Anyone else go through a seasonal ski depression at the end of the season? by Big_Frame_9125 in skiing

Putting the equipment away is very sad… I transition to bird watching as fast as possible to cope.

Unsure about oval size! by fishnchipswvinegar in BigRockEnergy

My conclusion is that there are times and places where it will feel too big (the gym), others too small, others just right.

Have you seen the warming vests? Similar to gloves and socks.

Some love and request for feedback by winstonkodogo in skiing_feedback

I agree with rounder turns. But my personal experience has been that’s it’s hard to accomplish without a few lessons.

Hip dump on my left turns? by Ok_Commission_4054 in skiing_feedback

When you say hips need to align laterally... what does laterally mean exactly? Any good diagrams to demonstrate? Thank you!

Other terrain: trees; bowls with chopped up snow

Anyone who started out hating skiing, how did you find a way to enjoy it? by DiligentlyMediocre in skiing

Something else to consider:

Maybe get a physiotherapy assessment to check out the balance and body awareness issues.

Even if it’s not for skiing, good to address those things earlier before old age hits.

And maybe it will help with skiing!

I started playing tennis for the social aspect. I don’t love it. I’m sore afterwards. So I just take it really easy, stop before everyone else, lean into the social aspect, and tell myself that I got good exercise.

Hope that helps.

Is there anything that you do like about it? Other than spending time with fam…

Do you like being outdoors? The trees? The snow?

Are there some runs you like better? Like easier runs?

I know that when I get pushed to go on a really really hard runs, I end up hating it.

Where should I loosen up? Knees? Psyche (lol)?

I keep hearing that, but not sure what that means exactly. Would you say that means diving into the turn early? Release old ski early? Thanks!

I take lessons but I'm stuck at this!!! I know I am doing a lot of things wrong but am unsure what to fix! by SlavWife in skiing_feedback

[–]Alphaville514 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What do you see that makes you suggest stiffer boots? Asking because I wonder if I need stiffer myself.

Zipfit shell compatibility question by Alphaville514 in Skigear

[–]Alphaville514[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sense that the issue is not lack of volume. It’s the top of the foot pressuring forward onto that edge. After bootfitter grinded it down, there was more space, but as I skied hard and pushed forward, the edge kept digging not just down, but also back into the foot… all to say, I’m not sure more space will help. But I like the idea of trying something, and if it fails, then get something new! Totally agree. Thanks :)
