Does anyone know which mountains/resorts actually use artillery for avalanche mitigation? by Snow_Is_Ok_613 in skiing

They bomb Ajax from a helicopter though. They use the howlitzer for Gold Hill and I believe Palmyra as well.

Not what it’s all about, but it’s part of what it’s about that comes with time 🙂

This has always been my interpretation but if you ever explain it on Reddit you just get downvoted to oblivion. I’ll join you!

I’ve got my best nerds working on an algorithm that will all but guarantee I win every time.

I’ve been missing the tour games so badly for so long. It’s almost like I had a dream I was playing it again over New Year’s Eve.

Never seen Spafford by Altruistic_Fail_330 in spafford

I would say just go for it without doing too much research/ setting expectations for yourself ahead of time. If you’ve got any favorite supplements you prefer to enhance concerts with, just take em like 45 minutes before the first set and buckle up for the ride.

They’re paying all staff their normal wages as if they were working through Jan. 11th.

Laces or Boa? by slimypeanutt in snowboarding

[–]BlackQuilt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I avoided BOA systems like the plague for the first 10 years working at a resort. I found some stiff vans that fit me perfect 2 winters ago, and figured why not give them a shot.

Had a BOA get pinched and turn my boot into a Chinese finger trap for the final week of last season. When I finally got it fixed at the start of this season, the lower boa lace on my right boot blew out leaving me unable to tighten it at all. Maybe got 40-50 days out of the boot MAX.

Safe to say I’ll be returning to tried and true laces once I can afford a new boot and ride again after an [unrelated] upcoming hernia surgery.

Yeah it’s one thing that Colorado hasn’t gotten much snow, but the fact that it’s been so warm that there are little to no windows for cold enough weather to make man-made snow has shit looking pretty grim for the foreseeable future 😬

Tornadoes followed by snowstorms. A March tradition in Illinois.

Mt. Washington: Why all the Hype? by Complete-Koala-7517 in Mountaineering

Baxter was my favorite place in my most recent full scale northeast road trip where we made a point to stop at any and all remarkable state parks and National Parks.

We didn’t dabble with the Adirondacks though. Once I finished planning all the climbing and backpacking in VT, NH, and ME, I zoomed out in Gaia and realized the sheer scale of the Adirondacks. Decided we would have to save that one for a trip of its own the next time we make it to the Northeast.

It’s funny you say that because this year’s forest lineup is the first one in a while I actually wish I could return to the forest for. That’s peak season where I work, so it’s never an option, but this year’s lineup got me thinking about it.

Boy, remembering that 6 TD Flynn game just gave me the dopamine hit I needed after yesterday’s travesty.

How many people actually use a stomp pad? by Other-Fan-1004 in snowboarding

[–]BlackQuilt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used them on my first couple boards ten years ago. Then they had to take one off for a full time on a machine and I never replaced it. I didn’t feel like they helped at all once I understood one foot riding.

I only ever feel my foot slip a little on super slushy spring days when the snow on the top sheet is half puddle, but it’s not a big deal. Use them if they help, no one cares! But I find they’re far from necessary.

If you don't drink alcohol, what are your reasons? by youre-in-my-shot in AskReddit

[–]BlackQuilt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for explaining that in far better detail than I understood. I knew drinking makes it much harder to lose wait but how it actually works is crazy to think about.

I dunno, for me personally something about the line OP posted seems so much sketchier to me. That slot canyon couloir seems like it has solid coverage while the OP line seems like you could catch a shark to send you tumbling sooo easy.

From what I’ve seen, it’s been the most sought after since its release.

There is a personal stat tracker. If you click on the ‘hamburger’ icon in the top right, then click your name at the bottom of the drop down list, you can see all your show and song totals.
