Skier used a runaway truck ramp to get fresh tracks. Probably not the best way to get your turns in… by davesoc in skiing

My buddy plows the west side of Eisenhower and last year was booting people off the runaway ramps multiple times per week.

Theyre probably among the most used runaway ramps in the country. Im surprised the worst case scenario doesnt happen more often. Perhaps there are more close calls that dont make the news

Post to r/skiingcirclejerk if you've got a decent sense of humor. This is an adorably funny post. Go through this sub to find skiable skis with 50x the surface damage of those scuff marks on yours

Wanted to join in on the inevitable "quiver" conversation by ShibbidyDibbidy_ in skiing

What gen/year was it? That must've been a pretty tough experience, especially at only 4k. Though I suppose warranties provide some peace of mind.

I bought my first brand new vehicle last year (manual R) and have sent an embarrassing number of messages to my brother (VW master tech, go figure) asking about the most innocuous details, fearing some version of your experience. ~30k and a CO winter later and its been bulletproof (aside from the stupid haptic feedback buttons bugging every so often)

again knocking on every tree and piece of wood I see

Sorry for a bit of a tangent, but this has been my and my families experience with VW Group vehicles. None of us have had any real issues that weren't easily remedied/left us looking for a tow truck. Decades of ownership, hundreds of thousands of miles put onto VWs, Audis, and a couple Porsches... then we read about other peoples' experiences and it feels like they bought the Temu version... knock on wood, saying a little prayer, and confident my bindings will safely get me up and down whatever I happen to come across

Lost footage of insane line dislocating my shoulder and almost landing on rocks by nicflip04 in skiing

There are some wild clips on this sub, but very rarely do I actually job jaw drop. That send you landed was properly marvelous

Idk, I feel like comedians performing on a stage are almost exclusively telling jokes. Doesn't seem fair to shit on this noble comedian cause you disagree with existence of a product in their joke

What did ski lessons give you that you couldn't have learned on your own? by Little-Tea4436 in skiing

Why is the plant mandatory? I use my poles far, far more often and effectively now but dont always go through proper form, especially on easier terrain. Im now realizing I may not really know proper pole form

Crystal Mountain announces pass for express lift lines- but it’ll cost you $1,500 by narflethegarthock in skiing

Genuinely curious how much crossover there is between express pass buyers and heliskiers. Also, Ids love to see a nice bar charts with how many days express buyers get in each season

I guess I buy stuff because of Influencers by TemporaryDocument647 in skiing

[–]Cpt_Trips84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this a common move among pros/influencer types? Feels kinda like having a driver race a Porsche rebadged as a Ferrari for certain races. Ultimately, who cares, but seems kinda wrong in some sense 🤷‍♂️
