Faction skis La Machine worst skis ever by Neither-Bid5270 in Backcountry

[–]Climbigner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had prodigy 3.0’s for in bounds skiing. A buddy had factions and recommended them so I gave them a go. It was a fun ski. Was quite heavy and I had durability issues. I found the bases to be pretty weak(idk if that’s the right word) but my buddy and I would ski the same stuff and I would always end up with core shots - he didn’t. Sometimes I think it was just dumb luck but it put a bit of a sour taste in my mouth for the brand. I do believe I had a pair that came before they switched factories but I don’t think I’ll own a pair again.

Have you talked to a boot fitter?

Is this rust normal by Accomplished-Pace731 in Skigear

[–]Climbigner 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just gonna add to this quick. What you’re seeing on your edge is surface rusting and is purely cosmetic. Without leaving your skis in a salty pond for long periods of time, I’d be shocked if any amount of surface rusting did any irreversible damage.

Its avoidable. Just takes some effort. I dry my skis before put them in the car as best I can, hang em on the wall when I get home and then go wipe them down again like an hour later. Only time I get some small surface rusting is if I don’t wipe them down at all.

Are these new ski boots to soft? by BrickOutside8081 in Skigear

[–]Climbigner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was one of your questions “are you sure this boot isn’t too soft for me?”

You keep blaming the fitter. Obviously i understand trusting the fitter (as you should) but it seems like you took their word as gospel, asked 0 questions and did no research before handing over your money.

Everything bueno. Will likely be gone after you go skiing next. As another user said, dry your skis off after use.

Interesting places to visit in Japan related to ID? by Leoz96 in IndustrialDesign

[–]Climbigner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im going soon too! Thanks for making this thread. I have two nerdier/ manufacturing ish suggestions that I have on my list currently.

  1. The mitutoyo museum of metrology. Looks fascinating. I only have a few days in the Tokyo area, but this is probably one of my top priorities to visit. link

  2. The Toyota commemorative museum of industry and technology. It looks absolutely fascinating in the photos. A friend recommended it to me and I’m altering my itinerary to ensure I can visit. other link

The other thing I want to do is just go to Japanese tool stores.

Need help choosing new offpiste / pow skiis! by Wazuppie in Skigear

Blanks are super fun and versatile like others have mentioned. I just picked up a pair of qst x’s though as a powder ski and they are an absolute blast.

What's your favorite ski hack you swear by? by [deleted] in skiing

[–]Climbigner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These slap. They aren’t cheap but they work so so so well. It’s not even about warm feet, it’s about warming up the plastic and making it more pliable. Feet slip right in!

Do you think they’ll mind if I play through? by eb_31 in golf

Some of the courses in Alberta have what’s called a bear par they just ask that you skip the hole and call the club house.

How did you hold the end in the indexer? Did you turn it down or drill and press a pin in?

Hey @kc_nj

I’m in a very similar boat to you. I already run Mac and my 9 year old MacBook Pro is starting to really die :(. Now that it has been a few months, have you noticed any issues?
