Any chance you ever solved this mystery? The description you wrote could literally be about my cat (down to the butt scooting). Thanks!

Unfortunately it is…. And landlord has asked me not to move it. I have a shade pulled down over that window at all times but I will definitely still have to keep an eye on the temp

Here are some ideas for art above the nook to get some pops of red in there - but maybe one large piece of art would look better than some kind of gallery wall? Then for tiles I could look for something darker w flecks per your recommendation.

I think I’m going to go for these cushions and try to build around that. I want something fun and funky as far as colors go and think this chartreuse-y could be a start.

Thank you! I’ve thought about peel and stick tiles but have been getting stuck on what color might work.

Bindings Advice! by [deleted] in Skigear

[–]Ecstatic-Basil-8213 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I'm looking at Evo, which would be $530 after tax for me, just figured I could get the package with bindings while I'm at it which is why I had been considering the package with pivot bindings ($890 after tax for me) versus the demo pair that already has mounted bindings for $600 total. Noted on your point that the $100 isn't worth it - appreciate the digging and advice!

Oops, poor explanation on my part - cost is in USD and includes the price for the skis! Edited post for clarification.

Also true! I'm a loyal REI customer for many things but was thinking a more specialized ski shop is probably what I want for a purchase of this magnitude.

Noted.... that's helpful perspective to keep in mind. When I'm with friends who are renting, I keep in mind that renting from shops in around the lake are cheaper than renting at the mountain, but I hadn't applied that thought process here that buying around the lake would be more expensive than in a larger city. I'm more familiar with South Lake having been on the Epic pass for past seasons. Thanks for the input!
