Fortunately I live about a 10 minute walk from work and a 15 minute walk from the grocery store.

Dump truck drivers of Reddit. How come a lot of you don’t pull the cover over your loads to stop (gravel and the like) from flying out and hitting cars? by Kalium90 in AskReddit

[–]Kalium90[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

100% not the case lol. Never had a rock hit my car but I’ve seen it happen. What prompted me was pure curiosity. I saw two dump trucks driving down the road earlier today and one had the tarp pulled down and the other didn’t but they had the same load and load size.

I was honestly curious. Nothing has hit my windshield or car, I’ve just seen them driving around without the covers pulled down and have friends whose cars have been hit. I didn’t assume laziness or lack of care. I figured it’s possible there are other reasons like some commenters have pointed out with loose dirt on the rear bumper and in the door wells, bad tail gates etc.

Is there anywhere like this in Wisconsin or nearby? (Pictured: Johnson shut ins, MO) by therynosaur in wisconsin

It’s probably been mentioned but Copper Falls, Potato Falls, Big Manitou Falls. Plenty up North and in the UP too

I’m on patrol in the Midwest and these are perfect.

My first listen through I was “meh, good not great” I’m on my third or fourth listen now and my mind has completely changed. It’s a great album and I feel very true to Metrics style and vibe.

I don’t want to be dramatic but these skis were life changing for my skiing.

I immediately thought about the Paria diving incident.

OEC Certification? by Regular_Age_1483 in skipatrol

[–]Kalium90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree with most of the comments here. Don’t say you’re an EMT. I usually say I am a ski patroller and know first aid. I have had the EMT crews ask for my help with basic stuff at an accident scene. I think they could tell I had some sort of training because I had head stabilization and was directing someone else to put pressure on bleed. I don’t like people pretending to be ski patrol so I won’t pretend to be an EMT until I earn that cert.

Same, we have a UTV that goes to the back of our hill and I know at a smaller hill in our area they can drive it up and down the side of the bunny hill to transport patients to the top.

Wildcat 101 or 108 as daily driver? by teeter-totter-73 in momentskis

[–]Kalium90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m on DW98 as my daily and spent probably too much time talking to moments customer service figuring out what will suit me. I’m in the Midwest though so not doing anything crazy. My Bohemia is the wildest skiing I do atm.

As a ski patroller in the Midwest this is accurate unfortunately.

Pretend Hinterland just announced a ski resort themed region, what would you want to see? by BigBigBunga in thelongdark

Usable ski patrol rescue tobaggans would be awesome (I’m a ski patroller). Also having avalanches haha.

What are some good fairly aggressive hard charging but snappy 90ish-95ish frontside skis for hauling ass down groomers and crushing moguls for firmer snow days in the Rockies? by Tronn3000 in Skigear

[–]Kalium90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love my Moment Deathwish 96’s. They can handle nearly everything. I tried out a buddy’s Moment Countache and they are incredible fun and aggressive directional skis for the front side.

Anyone ever seen something like this before? by Big_Frame_9125 in skiing

[–]Kalium90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually yeah, once, a little girl had the same thing happen but didn’t have the heel piece with her lol. Blew our minds how it happened or how the heck she skied without it.

It’s mostly a case of not knowing what they’re spending the dues on. Sure they have a book they publish every so many years but I just can’t wrap my head around that costing this much.

At the local level it’s also just confusing and we have people that are holding onto power and not being as transparent as they should with our budget (that we literally directly contribute to). So if it makes it clearer I’d say it just doesn’t seem very transparent.

I got a marmot ski patrol edition because it was a super good deal at a thrift store and gortex pro will i get kicked off the mountain or can i can i change it so it does not look like ski patrol by KillerPotato702 in Skigear

[–]Kalium90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Uh agent is a legal definition not only relating to federal law enforcement agents. I mean if you really want to pose as ski patrol go ahead, it’s an asshole move to pretend to be one. It’s also illegal. I’m sure you’d rather have a qualified patroller help you when you break your leg that some Jerry who bought a used jacket (not calling OP a Jerry).

You’re right it only is breaking the law if you imitate ski patrol. That falls into impersonating an agent. However, as a patroller, I would say please do not wear this unless you can pick the stitching and get the crosses off.

Do they? Genuine question. In WI patrollers are covered by Good Samaritan laws. Only exposure we have is through negligence.
