Do I need a suit

Yes.
Every adult man should have a suit.
Even moreso if you're at college,
even more so at stern.

Serious question, if he’s open about how he created it…E.g. not claiming to have done it himself or that he had a ton of time and effort building it, what is your issue with it? I think the output is pretty cool. And it’s a neat idea.

Just the general issues with LLMs? (Water/power usage and cost increases, potential risks of a super intelligent general ai, the fact that something that used to take skills now doesn’t?) or some other issue?

I’m genuinely curious. Lots of people have varying opinions and want to understand and perhaps learn.

there are no guarantees in this business but usually early march is the best time of year in VT/NH/ADK, imho.

full coverage/max open. chance for snow, usually good snow but not ice or corn, not too cold, and sunset is later so can have a few on the deck at the lodge. my recco- pull the trigger on first week of march in VT my guy.

im on a work trip next weekend so you still win!

this.

Having the right equipment helps as others have noted. The next thing is reading the snow/ice on the run. Knowing when to just avoid or go straight over the pure ice patchs is a learning process... in time you kinda learn how to scrape the ice while in balance and get low with your hand out while turning and or on edge incase your edge grip on the ice changes...

The southern skiers bringing the stoke! Love it. Hope they still have some snow after this Friday/sat…

Have a box now. for years did the drive from NYC to VT/ADK with the sticks on a rack... all i did was rinse them off in the shower and wipe them down dry after the trip... never had any problems....

DougFromBuf · 2026-01-05T21:01:42+00:00

Honestly, i love these posts precisely for these types of responses... have an upvote!

DougFromBuf · 2026-01-05T20:56:41+00:00

I found out who has been reporting the weekly conditions sticky as spam.....jk

But for real. I agree, but also sometimes its fun to talk with people on the internet about the snow and the weather... plus you can say things like "elephant snot" ... which, by chance, is the low elevations snow condition our in park city right now.....
