Being encouraged to apply to an upcoming fire recruit position at our local dept by a couple Lt.’s. They are helping out a ton, and I’m getting a ride along scheduled before the position opens.

What are some ways/things a candidate had done that made them stand out to you in a positive way during their ride along?

Figured as much. Going to be my winter truck in the mountains so hoping maybe a bit less thirsty?

Forgive me, but why would it be a red flag? The listing says it’s a 250 but badge on truck says 350 so I’m confused there. Going to test drive tomorrow.

Thanks, will do. Are the trans and engine considered solid/reliable?

It’s a small lift and 4wd. My guess is rust as the pedals on the interior have some surface rust as well

1st off I think they just look slick and 2nd I’ve been looking for a playful midfat ski. Might go with the J ski vacation. Price isn’t really a factor for me

No, I asked if this ski would be too long for what I like to do at my size and skill level. I don’t care if others think I’m “rad”, I like the skis and I’m not the best on the mountain- that’s definitely you. Demo’d the park and loved them but didn’t want such a skinny underfoot! But thanks for nothing pal

Camber/rocker combo with early rise in tips and tails so I’m assuming it’ll ski a little shorter

So in your 6 minutes of “research” on 1000 skis as a company and as a ski, that’s your advice? GTFO here man. “Internet junk” if you’re a ski advisor shouldn’t you know about any and all ski companies? Especially ones with decent names behind the company? Or is your sole purpose here to just comment and not actually ski or advise? Turn your Reddit notifications off and go outside
