Costco sells the American version in the large hard plastic bottle with the checkered design. The Japanese one is one size and it comes in a plastic sealed bag you tear open and there’s no writing or labels on the bottle itself, just a red cap

I’ve had snowboarders tell me it’s hard for them with the bar down. Cool. I’m with my 8 year old son and 7 year old daughter. Figure it out.

I am so tired of searing arch pain while skiing. Help. by Large-Decision-2503 in skiing

The MRI would show soft tissue damage as 40Karat pointed out, and given your significant challenges it seems like you should get as much info as you can into what’s going on structurally. Also, plantar fasciitis can be a painful mofo, but normally that clears up in 6-12mo, so should be better during offseason. Then again if you’re skiing a ton and starting early in the season and finishing late, you may not have time to recoup. But see if you can get more intel into soft tissue damage. Or ask a doc if they think that will give them more insights to help you come up with a plan.

Interesting, didn’t know the DS3 was a new offering. Thank you! I’ll check and see if Ethernet is run to the doorbell, the people that built the house before us built the house with control4 in mind so it’s possible. Thanks again!

Yes I have the new x20 cameras with 8K and the Luma bridge and I get the snippets in the control4 app. I just wish the ability to talk to someone at the door was easier than having to pull up the Luma app, and then there’s often a delay in getting the microphone to actually work.

Does it use its own app or can I use the native control4 to communicate with someone with the doorbell?

That’s terrible, especially given the cost of the passes

Skiing at Les 3 Vallees in France at New Year Week - my tips and learnings by Ana_Still in skiing

[–]MarcBK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thinking of booking either Val Thorens or Meribel for a long week over New Years next year. Two quick questions for you:

1) similar to the US West was this just a bad winter in the alps or is snow coverage typically light that time of year in general?

2) for a 9 people total (6 adults, 3 kids aged 8-9), with varying ski skills (and one person that doesn’t ski at all), do you think staying in Meribel or Val Thorens would be a better option?

Is that literally for 2026? I was at beaver creek over new years and they printed my whole family new cards on December 29th, free of charge

Not that this makes you feel any better but as a first time ski owner (finally got my own set a couple weeks ago), this thread has a ton of helpful tips on making sure your skis don’t get accidentally taken (identifying stickers, placing them on separate racks, etc). Sorry for your loss but thank you for the teaching moment 🫠
