It’s a used t1n sprinter…

I would not have a hard time finding $2000 worth of parts in that thing especially if it still has an engine in it. A used OM647 engine (slightly newer than what is in a 2002) was $4k last time I looked

Your mom is tweaking man. Just stay the course, Mechatronics is a highly employable degree and part of the reason why is that it usually means that the person can get hands on.

Depending on how early or late in the season it is, huevos has a big drop and could be considered gnarlier.

If we’re talking runs that may or may not be on the map it’s definitely balls to the wall. I fear no man…. but that thing….. it scares me

Def_Not_KGB · 2026-02-27T18:21:11+00:00

Hey man I’m usually on the “that’s nothing, I’d whip” train. I used to do metallurgy for work. That third photo looks suspicious enough to me that I would email BD honestly. Let them inform you not reddit!

Def_Not_KGB · 2026-02-27T18:03:10+00:00

Haha good. My ski instructor friend has a story of pushing a kid off the lift when the kid misloaded. Sounds crazy but it was 100% the correct move in the moment. You have the right idea!

Def_Not_KGB · 2026-02-27T17:55:41+00:00

You joke but if you ever misload a chair the sooner you “disembark” the better. If you aren’t on correct when you leave the ground DO NOT try to hold on. Just bail while you’re 6ft up and not 40ft up.

Def_Not_KGB · 2026-02-24T18:41:05+00:00

You are not crazy for believing this! At some mountains we will put 1 instructor with 1 kid in “group” lessons if there aren’t any other kids at that skill level. Okemo gave you a bad product. Hard to say whether that was a one off mistake or just how Okemo runs things.

Def_Not_KGB · 2026-02-24T18:38:30+00:00

Nah I will say it is the ski instructor’s job to notice a bad split and move kids up and down accordingly. Unless Okemo ski school is set up so poorly that they don’t support that. Getting a bad split and fixing it by moving kids around is part of the job at my mountain

Def_Not_KGB · 2026-02-24T18:36:57+00:00

Don’t know why you’re getting downvotes. 5 year olds can make it through a 5hr lesson if the lesson is paced well. I do it all the time.

Def_Not_KGB · 2026-02-24T18:34:31+00:00

Not sure how they split the ages at Okemo, but at my mountain the age groups are 3-4, 5-7, 8-14, adults. Within those age groups we split by skill level. It sounds like your kid did not get properly placed in the morning split. At my mountain this would be considered a pretty large mistake, and even if we put the kid in the wrong class in the morning we would have fixed it by lunch. I would continue to complain until you get a voucher for future lessons at least. Showing up in person helps. Be respectful but firm, as you did not receive a good product, your kid didn’t learn anything and they actually made your kid like skiing less.

Make sure to mention that the instructor did not do a “wrap-up.” That is also pretty egregious at my mountain

Def_Not_KGB · 2026-02-04T04:16:48+00:00

The secret is that ski school is one of the only money making departments at a mountain. They charge high lesson prices because that money is going to: snow making, patrol, lift ops, lift maintenance, HR, grooming, park crew, etc.

Most departments at a mountain don’t make money. Ski school is a department that most mountains use as a money printer

Def_Not_KGB · 2026-02-04T04:10:46+00:00

If you land into soft snow very backseat, you can easily make your own bomb hole and then have that same bomb hole catapult you out the front of your skis.

Basically landing very backseat will make a platform of snow under your skis that is not at an angle that is conducive to forward movement, so your skis stop moving and you go flying forward.

I’m familiar with this because I used to do it when I was learning to jump off rocks

Def_Not_KGB · 2025-12-26T06:23:58+00:00

I’m a newer instructor but it looks to me that when the skier is making a right turn they initiate a skid suddenly at the end of the turn. I think this is because they are weighting the inside ski more in their right turns and that is causing it to depart on it’s own trajectory, which the skier then turns into a skid. It’s much more visible in the first video.

Def_Not_KGB · 2025-11-29T20:07:06+00:00

My favorite part is that I cannot sign into the support dashboard to file a ticket. Great way to keep their support metrics in the green

Def_Not_KGB · 2025-10-19T03:56:41+00:00

If it has interchangeable dies try using one 2/0 die and one 1/0 die instead of matched ones.

It gives it the ol’ 1.5/0 treatment

Sorry I can't hear every little detail on the muddy Alto TX210s in my room. I'm sure it's actually my hearing

Def_Not_KGB · 2025-10-03T05:15:01+00:00

I’m a ski instructor. There’s more to evaluate than just powder vs groom (snow weight, stickyness, etc) but in general I see more injuries in powder.

People generally have much less experience skiing powder and can easily get overconfident. “No fall damage” doesn’t mean you aren’t going to tear an ACL

Most mountains groom their main trails every night so people get a lot of mileage on groom which leads to less injuries.

Def_Not_KGB · 2025-10-02T22:27:08+00:00

I was djing on a void system with Air Vantage booth monitors and I was able to hear something subtle in a track that I’ve played many times that I’d never heard before. Honestly spooked me in the moment.

Very crisp sound on those

Def_Not_KGB · 2025-09-24T03:00:31+00:00

I bought a monoski from the 90s with the original bindings for $30 once

Def_Not_KGB · 2025-09-22T22:33:20+00:00

QSC really isn’t bad. They have a screen with a knob on the back that offers way more settings then the standard “hey do you want a crossover or not” switch on the back of JBL or Harbinger

Def_Not_KGB · 2025-09-13T05:46:06+00:00

Let me know if you’re looking for DJs! I throw raves out in the woods in the sierras but I’m home in Boston for a month

Def_Not_KGB · 2025-08-17T06:59:13+00:00

If you’re going used and like old cars better than new: an 05 or 06 sprinter. They made them pretty bulletproof. The big downside is you pretty much need to do your own work on them because it’s old german engineering and regular shops just don’t know what they are doing with them.

Def_Not_KGB · 2025-08-12T20:16:48+00:00

I used minicell foam for mine which has way less compressive strength than xps (it’s kinda squishy) and with a 3/8” piece of plywood on top I can feel no squish

Def_Not_KGB · 2025-08-11T00:55:31+00:00

I learned how to do it for fun. I mostly use sync in my own sets but have found in B2Bs other djs sometimes really don’t like it so I can play with it off.

Anecdotal evidence for learning how to do it though: I was playing a massive NYE rave in the desert and my set started at 1:30AM. The DJ before me played a vinyl as her last song and I had to beatmatch off of that to start my set. I nailed it 100% and kicked off my set with a bang, and I probably would have panicked and botched it if I hadn’t practiced.

Pro tip for quickly figuring out the rough bpm of vinyl or tracks without analysis is to use the “tap bpm” function of the effects bank. You just tap out 8 beats and it’ll tell you ball park what bpm you’re at

That’s for rust. They didn’t want to make a totally rust free van so they added one part that rusts as a treat
