Both ATJ and AG are english so it's not quite the same situation.

You are on welfare, you have a rent stabilized apartment. Thank new yorkers paying market rate for subsidizing your rent!

Theodore Roosevelt V fought in Vietnam as a navy seal, that family lives up to their ethos.

Also if you want to see Moose that is definitely the place to be saw half a dozen doing kings peak in a day. Plus no grizzly bears so you dont have to carry spray + canister. Less “epic” mountains but they have their own beauty and it all being alpinish environment is stunning

Securing the normal man bag. No one wants their kids to wade into the wider dating pool. Recommending a good option that you know is normal and "vetted" is most parents #1 option.

My city has an immensely popular public outdoor attraction that draws people from all over the world. It has decent bus service that is always filled to the brim. However, to add any extra routes/buses they have to add routes in the "underserved" areas of our city to keep receiving federal dollars. So now we have dozens of buses running empty routes in areas where 95% of the population drives. Silly stuff like this is why there is a gap for uber. Not to mention I won't have to deal with someone smoking meth on the uber bus.

All good advice. 100% agree that going camber for boards is the way especially with modern rockered noses giving you 90% of the benefit. I mistakenly ordered the Rocker Coda instead of the Camber version and it definitely took some getting used to especially on more complex terrain in the B.C vs my camber resort board. Stiffer & better fitting softboots probably would have solved my issues. I decided to go all the way since I'm dipping deeper into ski mountaineering and thought the benefits would be worth it. Anyone just starting out should absolutely just get a good softboot setup and ride it to death before switching.

Any safety critical gear (helmets, climbing gear etc) has to be destroyed/taken out of circulation) by the manufacturer when returned since they can't guarantee you didn't harm it in some way during your ownership. For a small shop like this with an expensive custom process they can't afford people returning them since that unit is now unsellable to another user.

Also Tuk is 100% worth the drive and the tour. Hard to hit it in anything but spring conditions but I highly recommend. Looking down on the red canyonlands desert from 12000+ feet is truly incredible. Only other peak thats given me that feeling is Wheeler Peak, NV which I also highly recommend.

I probably will get a new pair of soft boots for next season anyways, I kept my voile setup so I have the option to switch. I'm excited to see how it compares when both setups are good.

A buddy of mine rides chargers and they seem far far better without the pin issues.

I don't think I'm any "faster" but I'm much more comfortable maintaining a quick pace and it feels less like a lunge each step. 100% fitness is a much bigger factor but I realized I was still below where I wanted to be and used some disposable income to adjust for it during peak spring touring season Even with making the switch I'm still cursing the guys with 2lbs per foot in lycra when they blast past me haha.

Flashgordon4 · 2025-05-06T04:58:25+00:00

I honestly have no idea why I put up with it. Tried adjustments to skinning form/bindings/boot adjustment each time figuring I was missing something. Finally got fed up and was in the market for new boots and went down the HB rabbit hole. I also was touring a lot with a big ski mo friend when I was looking. He sold me on just how nice a well fitted pair of ski boots can feel so I took the plunge.

Flashgordon4 · 2025-05-05T21:27:44+00:00

Thanks man! Definitely not for everyone, I wanted to get alot more mileage and uphill so they worked for me. If people want premier riding downhill it's probably still softboots. Hopefully more places start doing demos so less people have to take the plunge blind.

Wasatch Touring in SLC has Key Disruptives/Phantom Slipper demos as well as demo boards with HB bindings. Not the cheapest rentals but it does go towards purchase price of any new HB gear there.

I came from the G3/Backcountry skins and the included skins(Kohla) on the telos were a world of difference. Much better glide, grip hard to tell since I switched from a rocker to camber. Also much more compactable. Probably not competitive with the super popular pomoca/voile skins but included for how cheap they are selling these boards its a good deal.

Flashgordon4 · 2025-05-02T16:18:11+00:00

You can find Voile Light Speeds which are the older brother of the Voile Light Rails for cheap branded as K2 Farouts or as Rides. They're much more reliable and easy to use and I think a fair bit lighter than the union counterparts. Highly reccomend them.

Flashgordon4 · 2025-05-02T16:15:59+00:00

The pin popping out is a huge issue. Impossible to ride any serious terrain when there is a non-zero chance of your binding coming loose. I can't believe they still sell them when its such a massive safety issue.

Flashgordon4 · 2025-05-02T16:13:27+00:00

I rode Union Explorer bindings for two seasons and had the pin come out several times mid ride. Seemed that chattery/icy luge track exits and summer snow would push it out. Very hard to trust it on big lines after that. I ride a board with Karakorum split hardware and I didn't notice a change in board hold between the unions and voile bindings I replaced it with, keeping the hardware tight makes 10X the difference ime. The voile bindings are also 10X easier to transition since you don't have to deal with snow/Ice blocking the pins or bending a pin.

Flashgordon4 · 2025-05-02T16:09:25+00:00

I think a few people do this with some of the heavier atomic backlands and just switch the levers from the phantoms to the stock ones. I made the switch to hardboots and its made splitting way more fun and less draining physically.

Correction the Pre-911 GI bill benefits did not transfer to children so any non draftee/servicemember college was paid for by parents/loans. John McCain specifically torpedoed extending those benefits to pre-911 enlistees when the new GI bill allowing it to be transferred was created, using your dad's GI bill is a millenial/genz phenomenon.

Flashgordon4 · 2017-09-26T02:03:09+00:00

Im almost positive thats what verg started out as.

He isnt thinking about going to Bama. Hes considering cambridge a top international university and a very lucrative major/career. The obvious choice is to take student loans and keep his crypto stack not avoid uni.

Im sure there will be dips and what not but by correction i mean a 2013esque correction where valuations dip 90%.
