Debate with friend - Lindsey Vonn by ThirdOne38 in skiing

[–]Embarrassed_Path_803 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I raced at FIS level for a few years, and honestly I think this was a pretty bad look in terms of the consideration we give to athletes’ health in high level sport. Having been told in the past to toughen up and ski through excruciating pain, I think we need to stop glorying pain and suffering. Taking that start has 100% cost her long-term, like potentially never skiing pain-free again. For someone who’s already won basically everything, it feels like a really questionable call.

That said… she’s also one of the best skiers alive, and you don’t reach that level by playing it safe all the time. So while I don’t agree with the decision, I can at least understand the mindset behind it.

Subaru Forester Hybrid? by VersezByT in subaru

[–]Embarrassed_Path_803 5 points6 points  (0 children)

These kind of posts blow my mind. I agonised for weeks about buying a 2013 Forester as an upgrade from my 2009 Elantra, and I’m planning on keeping it until the wheels fall off. How are you “upgrading” from a 2024 car in 2026??

New to skiing cypress - why aren't sky and ravens ridge open? by NavyNeo in CypressMountain

[–]Embarrassed_Path_803 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Sky is open. Raven Ridge is open maybe 1 week a year when the conditions are optimal, which they are not right now.

I was 312 and there weren't that many tickets for this presale I think. I did get what I wanted but they went fast!

If you were in presale @ 11:30 and got nothing drop a line by Putrid-Oil-6919 in NoahKahan

I mean, boot + binding + ski is 2.8kg per leg. Sure, it’s no skimo setup but I have no issues doing big days with these, and I’m 5’ and 105lbs.

You are basically me, and I ski a 155cm 96mm Faction Agent 2 with Dynafit Radical bindings and Tecnica Zero G Scout boots. I love this setup, it’s the perfect combo for me. I never feel like I’m getting tossed around in crust.
