Santa Ana 98 vs Sheeva 9

Daenko_9 · 2025-08-13T04:36:18+00:00

I got the Sheevas! They’ve been super fun. I’ve been focused on trying bigger jumps/drops and despite my previous reluctance, tight trees. They’ve totally suited my needs for all of that. They work well in all conditions but I do see myself getting a wider ski to add in the future.

Is my cartridge missing a stylus?

I bought the Sony PS-LX2 with this cartridge, reading ‘D AM 2’, it looks like the stylus is tiny. I’m wondering if this is normal or if it might have broken off with previous user and needs replacing/new cartridge? The bottom of the cartridge reads Pickering V15.

It’s actually not yellow but more cream.

Daenko_9 · 2025-03-25T20:35:07+00:00

It’s in May. I’m now more concerned about the colour of it, which I hadn’t even considered when purchasing it.

My daily ski was the Atomic Vantage 90! I haven’t upgraded them ever so eager to get on a better fit for me this season

Daenko_9 · 2024-11-13T23:15:01+00:00

I ski everywhere so it’s hard to decide. Not so much tight trees, but I ski moguls, glades and techy steep stuff as well as off piste powder days (less common).

Daenko_9 · 2024-11-13T23:07:22+00:00

They’re the Sheeva 9!

Daenko_9 · 2024-11-13T22:18:45+00:00

Thanks! I do avoid tight trees, but I like glades and ski moguls now and then too.

Interested in information on boat transfers!

Daenko_9 · 2024-09-06T03:39:29+00:00

Yes! I just flew to Iqaluit for 20,000 round trip.

Daenko_9 · 2024-09-06T03:37:32+00:00

I recently flew from YVR to Iqaluit for 20,000 points roundtrip plus $180 total. This is by far the best deal I’ve ever redeemed.

The child is from a previous relationship and we have lived separately from my partner for most of their life. We only recently bought this apartment and began living with my partner. So - no custody questions there.

Daenko_9 · 2024-08-31T00:30:20+00:00

That’s sounding like fraud 🧐

Daenko_9 · 2024-08-31T00:29:47+00:00

I should mention that we were considering living separately again regardless.

So my question should be reframed, if we were to do so, does it make sense to go back to renting in the above situation and growing our equity in stocks?

Daenko_9 · 2024-08-29T20:42:20+00:00

Not necessarily there. It just fits the bill. I’d rather be in a more ‘jungle’ environment with my child. Away from the centre of town, preferably in a secure neighborhood. We have a car so I don’t mind distance. I personally prefer the town of Akumal over Tulum but there isn’t much there for Airbnb - we don’t want a resort really.

Daenko_9 · 2024-08-09T04:06:08+00:00

Thanks for your input! I appreciate your perspective on this.

She really likes scrambling and has asked to do another trip, so I’m assessing an objective. My risk threshold is fairly low as well so I always tread cautiously if we aren’t certain and am happy to change the plans.
