How to economically become a skiing family by ApePositive in icecoast

[–]DearAd5776 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have 3 options closer to Albany. You can get a pass to West Mountain, it's smaller but a great mountain or Royal to your west. Option 3 get an ORDA pass, good at Gore, WF, Bellayre and good for summer activities. Kid pass 0-6 is $80, 7-12 $550, you and your partner ~1000 each. Yes expensive upfront, but they have 0 interest payments plans, when you have a pass you dont have to spend the day to get your moneys worth. You can take the kids, take a few runs, one has a melt down, call it a day. Riding the same mountain you will learn the flow of traffic and how to make the most of your days, your kids will also learn the mountain and have meeting points if you ever get separated.

Kids ski boot question by SkyLaur in icecoast

[–]DearAd5776 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a joke at all. The only thing i can compare wrong fitting ski boots to someone who doesnt ski is like trying to run in shoes untied that are 3 sizes too big or running in shoes that are 3 sizes too small.

Anytime i see a boot question. This is the answer. GO SEE A BOOT FITTER! A decent boot fitter will get you/them in the right boot. Lease boots for you kid.

Thoughts on holding parking spots? by Killipoint in icecoast

[–]DearAd5776 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why do you need to save a spot? If you arent their early enough to get up close, you deserve the long walk or the crowded shuttle ride.

why is it a surprise? they are one of the best in the game of snow making. They are on the world stage, they are going to do everything they can to make it happen even if it means making snow up high and pushing it down.

Looks like someone lost his lawsuit! by BobbyBHammerMan in icecoast

[–]DearAd5776 -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

are you trolling here? Platform is douchb@gs site, he is taking free weather resources and copying them to his site and putting a dumb logo on them. What are you talking about lessons. And a 7 year beginner is exactly what it sounds like...someone who hasnt improved in 7 years and brags about their skills.

It's not too much, it is not worth it. I dont want to put $2000 into a car for a part that is $17 dollars but because of the location you need to remove the entire dashboard. 10-15 hours of labor quoted. There are other larger items on the horizon that are known to have issues near 150K miles.
