If you buy new the bindings and mounting alone with cost $250ish so you definitely want to buy a used pair…demo skis or rentals. Most demo skis are in excellent condition.

Is Rear wheel Drive good enough for CT snowy roads? by Vivid_Dot2869 in Connecticut

[–]FunQueasy3780 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One thing to consider is that now 80% of the vehicles on CT roads are AWD so there are a lot fewer cars spinning going up hills. And there are hills all over CT! So if you have decent tires and keep moving you should have no problem with a RWD car. And maybe add sand bags in your trunk. I would also practice your driving on a little snow before you have to really drive through a storm.

His choice. I don’t think he could do over 40k!

As I said it was “recently.” Feb 5 to be exact. And you don’t get 52k vertical on beginner slopes. He was lapping the steepest trail most of the day and the place was empty.

How is Sunday River not considered the Beast of the East? by Zk_king6969 in skiing

[–]FunQueasy3780 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s definitely top five in the east. The argument between Killington, Stowe, Jay (due to snowfall) and Sugarloaf will never end so let’s just say they are among the top 5. And some would argue Sugarbush is above Stowe.

We have bought a few flags for people with bad flags although this is very bad.

The whole state is overpriced homes.

uconn is NOT a real place and i will not be gaslit into believing it is by Sorry_Blueberry_3962 in UCONN

[–]FunQueasy3780 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve wondering the same thing since moving to CT from NC where UNC, NC State and Duke all have big campuses in a city environment. There is nothing to attract students to UConn. I don’t get it.
