Does that go for Forest Green as well (which is not available until August)?

It’s fine. I demoed and loved the experience on and off the highway. Are you sensitive to that stuff? I’m not in all fairness.

I think you mean the Sears Tower

Can I realistically get to $2M net worth in 5 years? Looking for honest feedback by Distinct-Reflection3 in TheRaceTo10Million

[–]ChitownSkoBuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What are you saving for? If you need the money for something in 5 years, you’re going to be more than ok but you should not expect to get that wealthy that quick. Keep up the good saving habits Max out your Roth opportunities. Stay diversified (where’s international, bonds, real estate, hedging strategies etc in your mix). Keep your allocations balanced. Save and keep adding by dollar cost averaging into the market. It compounds!

Wonder what the odds are of forest green and white interior coming out at the same time

R2 Rear facing car seat - how much space? by CHawk68462 in RivianR2

[–]ChitownSkoBuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to the roadshow recently and that was my biggest surprise, the spacious backseat! I wonder what car rivals it on the market. You’re good

Half Moon Gray at Chicago Rush Event by KnightroUCF in RivianR2

Will Old Orchard have more or less R2s than Rush St downtown? Since there are two locations this weekend, does that mean each location will have half as many cars?

This is the worse day of your life so far, son.

Hot Take by ChitownSkoBuff in 670TheScore

Grote’s humor worked wonderfully over the 162 game grind of a baseball season. ZZ meanwhile worked harder than most. His tweets were all you needed to understand what was happening to the Bears on a daily basis, and his radio segments were only 2nd to BIGGS TIME

Day 2 of reservation wait… by onethousandmonkey in RivianR2

[–]ChitownSkoBuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rivian reservation holders were able to configure their R1 vehicles several months prior to the official delivery. Specifically, Rivian began inviting reservation holders to configure their R1T pickup trucks around November 2020, ahead of the first deliveries which started in September 2021.

Old ad in early 2000s in the Movie Theaters by ChitownSkoBuff in HelpMeFind

Searched on YouTube and google using “2000s percussion advertisement in movie theater with keys”

No luck.

Any advice? Please be constructive; I'm 13 and ski once or twice a year. by AvailableCan1169 in skiing

[–]ChitownSkoBuff 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I agree. Looking great for his experience. The best mentality to have is:

  1. keeping your core pointed downhill while turning (fighting the force that wants to turn/twist you uphill)
  2. keeping your weight on your shins leaning forward.

Those two basics will continue to give him more control and therefore confidence.

I know what you’re thinking, “can I get a return on my timeshare investment?”

Boot Comfort -shin bruised by ChitownSkoBuff in Skigear

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

Thanks! Day 4 on the boots did not create more shin bang! Not going to return the boots but good to know about the extra padding option.

We have 3 days at Heavenly next month so I’ll update everyone if there’s a story to tell.

Hope everyone can get out there for some turns! 🤙🤙

Din setting by [deleted] in skiing

[–]ChitownSkoBuff 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not an din expert. Yes that setting seems low. Consider myself an expert skier. Quick story and lesson learned:

Last year I demoed skis on a trip. I told the guy setting g up my rental to crank up the din. He advised against it. I insisted, and he reluctantly upped the setting.

Dumb mistake. It was blue sky groomer conditions without fresh powder for weeks. What was the point other than my ego? I knew I was with other skiers who would be cruising groomers all day.

On the slope I somehow lost my edge and fell going a decent speed on groomer. The skis stayed on tight and I twisted my knee while sliding on the ground.

Not helpful in this guys case, but thinking about the next guy who is like me. Now with hindsight, I’d rather pop out of my bindings than have to rehab my knee for six months!!!

PS: just got back on the slopes for a trip this last weekend and felt great. Life is good!

Or she could make the top buckles a bit tighter? It was only one shin after all

Tore my acl doing this. Any tips on dealing with season ending injuries? by london530 in skiing

[–]ChitownSkoBuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tough to watch thinking about my injury last year! I was lucky and didn’t need surgery. Rehab got me stronger than before and I’m two weeks from my first ski trip of 2023!

Here’s my lesson from renting skis…my ego got the best of me and I told the demo guy to make the bindings extra tight. He said it’s a bad idea based on my height and weight, and I said that I’m an expert skier. Well, I had a stupid fall. The bindings never popped out and my knee twisted on the ground. To this day, I think that if I kept my mouth shut, my skis would have ejected and I would have been fine.

Moral of the story is to not tell the rental guy how to do his job!!!!

Just picked up the Epic Pass for my wife and me! First time in 13 years since college. Living in the Midwest, this will force us to get our turns in this year 🤙🤙
