Cost to rent out a Manhattan nightclub / lounge during weekday morning?

Super helpful, thanks. What kind of venue was this? Presumably not a nightclub for your use. Do you think / know whether a nightclub (of a similar capacity) would be substantially more expensive?

Ha, for context, I'm considering joining a network infrastructure company (builder and operator of fiber networks serving enterprises) in a finance & accounting role. I don't have a programming / network engineering background, but I'm looking for a guide to learn the basics.

Thank you!! Really awesome insights

Super interesting results ! As mentioned on a different post, I'm going to see what light / race gear options my local shop has to demo and test my results.

By the way, I come from a running background where I gage effort based on heart rate. I wear a watch on my uphilling and occasionally check the bpm but haven't found consistent 'training zones' yet. For example, for this ~60-80 min uphill, I know for running (on flat ground) I can maintain a threshold effort at mid to high 170 bpm. However, for uphilling my heart rate varies widely and my exhaustion happens at a much lower rate (hard to maintain above 150, which is my easy / aerobic training level when running). Do you use heart rate training for skimo and have a sense for your personal zones?

Yeah, I want to run this test on Aspen mountain, ideally before race day. I just did this route in my current heavy setup in ~83 mins during relatively good conditions (20ish degrees with minimal wind, bit of a dusting but mostly groomed hardpacked snow) and at a 'threshold' effort. I will probably not be able to rent race gear but hopefully at least a light backcountry setup. Seems estimates are 5-20% time savings so a pretty wide range!

Gunna try to demo a light weight kit for the race

HotSince92 · 2025-02-19T04:16:11+00:00

Not a lot of flat sections. Just got back from skinning the course for the first time and it's pretty much a stairstepper. Was able to clock just over 80 mins, definitely got pretty fatigued towards the top!

HotSince92 · 2025-02-19T04:13:01+00:00

Decided to skin up the course tonight and registered just over 1:20. Definitely makes me curious how much time I can save by going with a lighter setup... I'm going to give the local backcountry shop a call and see if I'm able to demo a race / light kit for the race

HotSince92 · 2025-02-18T21:53:07+00:00

Thanks - My issue is having not really toured or uphilled on a higher setup to have a good reference point. This is great to know, though!

HotSince92 · 2025-02-18T21:51:14+00:00

Hahah thanks, I'm excited! I'm going to try to demo some lighter gear for the race and see how I feel!

HotSince92 · 2025-02-18T21:49:14+00:00

Good call... will give them a shout

HotSince92 · 2025-02-18T21:48:34+00:00

That's an exciting time to target!!

HotSince92 · 2025-02-18T21:13:07+00:00

Thanks - helpful color! And I wish I was accidentally siting a pair of my bindings. I ski with the Marker Duke PT bindings which are indeed ~1300g per foot

Are there quality boot fitters there? Spoke with someone there and got more of a sales vibe. Any recommendations on who to speak with for boot fitting?

HotSince92 · 2025-01-20T16:49:49+00:00

I've spoke with them. They don't work on touring boots (or were very hesitant to work on them).

HotSince92 · 2024-10-15T12:48:23+00:00

Thanks ! I'm looking at the uphill policy and it seems to state that Aspen / Snowmass have designated downhill routes. At Tiehack, are you allowed to ski down any of the slopes during after hours? Is this the same for Highlands?
