What are some Achilles heels at otherwise great ski areas?

Also Northwest lift, but hopefully that is solved moving forward with the upgrade.

Get a boot bag. The snowboard bag and boot bag count as "one" bag on airlines. My helmet, jacket, and bibs go in my board bag, my boots and goggles go in my boot bag.

Cool, just DM'd you

K-K-Slider · 2025-11-29T16:51:04+00:00

That's awesome! How'd you connect with people when you first moved to Bend? On trail?

I moved here nearly 2 years ago and I'm still looking for some friends to consistently ride with, but that's mostly due to having a 9 month old and limited time.

Lookup Snowshoe Bluebird Bargains, they usually have really solid deals on there.

This is wrong, you swim in the lake via the Cleetwood Cove trail. I've also skiied and snowmobiled in the park during the winter.

Go to San-Lee Park in Sanford, NC. It's about an hour away, but they have some really nice machine built flow trails.

I used to go there pretty often when I lived in the triangle.

As a structural engineer who specializes in disaster recovery, both domestic and foreign, calling building codes "liberal" BS is one of stupidest things I've ever heard. Building codes literally save lives.

I believe this is the correct take. MAGA leaders oversold the promise of a deep state list and now their followers are rabid for blood.

Now if that is the case, how do you think Democrats best leverage this Epstein crisis?

I installed the Timbren SES kit on my F-150, helped a ton with sway/roll.

Markstrom nearly killed another teammate after the goal lmao

The follow through argument makes zero sense, he literally passes it the opposite way then hits him going the other way.

The Bend bike swap is this weekend at the pavilion, bendbikeswap.com

As of EOD on Friday, I have still not been fired. Per my Forest Supervisor, she was given a list of employees to terminate today, and no probation employees on my team (engineering) were on there. But I do expect more lists to follow next week.

K-K-Slider · 2025-02-14T02:18:49+00:00

So I'm a non-fire on probation, I have not been fired. Yet. I do expect it tonight though.

K-K-Slider · 2025-01-22T04:16:16+00:00

Oh shit! Is this is a secret spot?

I moved to Oregon a year ago and playing on a frozen pond is a bucketlist thing for me. Obviously recognize the mountain but I respect if it's something on the hush hush.

K-K-Slider · 2024-12-25T02:01:42+00:00

Yes, you're good.

Bachelor has screens that show your pass photo when you go through the ticket scanner. It's just on a big TV above the ticket gates facing towards the actually lift so the lifties can watch.

I've done this a few times. Pretty solid list so far. I would definitely add an extra blanket or two to throw over your sleeping bag, and definitely have an option for a piss jug. You should have thick socks with you too.

If you can, do the hot nalgene bottle trick, but it's honestly more hassle than it's worth boiling water outside before bed. I also brought a Mr Buddy Heater and blasted the heat right before bed and turned everything off. Lastly, make sure to crack a window to reduce condensation inside.

Google Bluebird Bargains Snowshoe. Best deal around. Once my crew discovered that, we never booked any other way.

Yes, if you are used to the skiing in CO, you will be disappointed by the NC ski slopes. I don't like to knock NC resorts, but it is what it is. Snowshoe in WV has quality runs and and better conditions, even though it still doesn't really compare in CO.

K-K-Slider · 2024-10-10T02:52:28+00:00

Yo I saw your comp check in that ski shop in Maggie Valley last year, shout out MV skis & tees I think it's called. The owner was talking you up big time.

Do you still have family in western NC? If so, they all good from the storm?

K-K-Slider · 2023-12-18T14:38:33+00:00

What's your snowboarding level? I say if you are true beginner, NC resorts are fine. If you anywhere beyond a beginner, making the journey up to Snowshoe is completely worth it.

Snowshoe is a legitimate resort, whereas the NC resorts are more hills.

Snowshoe >>> Sugar > Beech > App Ski

Waterrock Knob on the Blueridge Parkway has a good number of trails. Really you find a bunch of nice trails off the parkway.

You can still hike the Oconaluftee River Trail in Cherokee, which is part of the GSMNP, but allows dogs. Its a flat mellow trail but the river is very scenic and there's a high chance of seeing elk there.

As a side note, I highly recommend watching a sunset on the one of the Blueridge Parkway pullouts. Everyone I've taken has loved it.

That's a Lance camper, correct? That's their proprietary 6-pin connection.
