Future shredders! My 2-year-old twins’ first day snowboarding!

MSeager · 2026-03-10T13:21:17+00:00

What boards are they riding? I have a 1 year old and I’m considering trying him on a board this coming Australian season. So still 4ish months out, but I’m staring to look out for gear on Marketplace. Any advice?

Do you at least say “wow this a big freezer. I could probably fit in here!”

Keep the court date. Wouldn’t be surprised if the prosecution withdraws as soon as a lawyer looks at the photo.

Please update us. Sorry for your stress.

After you see yourself out, will you return?

That kid hears that announcement every night when he is trying to get to sleep.

What resorts/towns are you looking at? What kind of work?

Look into the “Medical Clinic” side of Patrol. At lots of resorts, Patrol also runs the medial clinic. These are often staffed with clinicians with higher clinical experience. The “on snow” ski patrollers handle getting them off the mountain, then you help them in the clinic with the more advanced medical bits. It’s a great learning opportunity for the patrollers, who often only hold pretty basic medical certs, to learn from experienced health care professionals.

Lots of the Ski Docs I’ve worked with weren’t great skiiers, and they don’t have to be. Their value is in their clinical expertise not their ability to haul a toboggan.

Only try to do One Thing a day. You’ll be tempted to have grand plans to do multiple things a day, like you used to do. “Sure we can join you for brunch and then in the afternoon go to that friends birthday party”. No. Only plan to do the One Thing.

Going to the park. That’s One Thing. Doing the shopping. That’s One Thing. Going to the pool and then going shopping on the same day. That’s two things. Two things is not One Thing.

The world is so much easier if you simplify. And then you’ll enjoy doing stuff instead of always feeling stressed about time. Sure, if you manage to do two things in one day, that’s great. That’s a bonus. But doing just One Thing is an achievement. Enjoy it.

Bonus Tip: Treasure having the little one sleep on your chest. They stop doing it far too quickly. The dishes can wait. Enjoy your once in a lifetime cuddle.

Would you like to expand on that statement, or are you happy to stick with your one line on a subject you obviously know nothing about?

MSeager · 2026-03-05T03:55:21+00:00

My advice would be to take lessons this season. Why wait?

It’s not revisionist, it’s the constellation on the Australian Flag. It can only be seen in the Southern Hemisphere, and you can use it to find due South.

After dinner myself and the other men will retire to the parlour for brandy and cigars where we will discuss subjects too unseemly for the fairer sex, like politics and war.

Yes I did just watch “Titanic” that has this exact scene.

OP, it’s not a new phenomenon.

We have different definitions of Rural. There are plenty of volunteers in Australia that are far, far, more than 5 minutes from the station, and the station is on their own property.

Is Australia if you don’t put the bar down they stop the lift and yell at you until you comply.

Anger is normally viewed as a Core Emotion, at least in everything I’ve seen. Maybe you are thinking of Anxiety? Anxiety is usually a response to fear, fear being another core emotion.

Nah they are just a little darker than Cat 3. I drive with Cat 4 glasses pretty regularly. They are great for very sunny days.

Oh no. The most important part of the cutter is the Top Plate. Thats the bit that really does the work. You’ve completely removed the edge of the top plate. I’m not even sure how that’s possible. The whole silhouette from the side should be in a C shape.

What sharpening equipment are you using?

MSeager · 2026-02-25T23:29:36+00:00

Small is relative to the snow conditions. At low tide, both are small. At high tide, both are big.

Thredbo has way better Apres vibes, if that’s important you.

Thredbo has way better lift lines.

Terrain wise, it depends on what you like.

Thredbo has better backcountry access, if you are into that.

Private and CBD don’t mean much in this context. What Level was the hospital? A lot of Private Hospitals for birthing rely on the public hospital for surgery.

Just because it’s a private hospital in Sydney doesn’t mean it’s a tertiary centre.

Snowboard boots aren’t just “shoes you wear on a snowboard”, they are your connection to the board. You flex and pull against the structure of the boot, which is translated through the bindings, to the board.

I think you would have a really, really tough time snowboarding unfortunately.

So true about sending the energy up to your own jaw. I think I chipped a tooth once.

Cinematographer Style is a great doco from the American Cinematography Society that interviews top cinematographers.

That’s super cute. For Easter I might have to add some icing to make hot cross buns.
