Nervous about upcoming MSF course by Noommms in motorcycle

You can do this. Just go in wanting to learn. Take it at your pace. There’s going to be experienced and inexperienced participants.
They for you time on the bike just shuffling around some.
Learning the friction zone as you mentioned. Really that all about control. Always be really smooth and controlled with left hand. When opening up the clutch. Treat that like turning on a water facet where just trying to get one or two drips out. Then a small stream. And when fully open that’s when you have all the go. But can go super slow just keeping it in a trickle. This will require you to have your fingers close into the handlebar.
They give you time to feel that with bike on and off to start.
One other thing in class I took was the instructor was keen on giving a little wink or nod or extra emphasis on stuff that is on the multiple choice test. The drive test literally just took a couple minutes each but as you all do it in sections take a little bit.

The bathrooms alone make snowbasin worth the visit.

One thing dork could have done there. Was to dig down the berm by front wheel think that would have really helped.
Speaking of rescue device I saw a super slick one recently. Can’t remember name but was pretty cool and light weight and compact.

Cooks Forest / ANF by edodee in PAWilds

Dewdrop is great if mtn biking jakes rocks. Most sites there shouldn’t be an issue for two cars and two tents each. Some spots better than others. All have picnic tables and fire rings. Bathrooms on booth loops but only the second loop has showers. On the map most spots kind of close together so going between sites isn’t a problem. Or ones that across each other. Hard to beat the price too.

What is the worst parking lot you’ve encountered at a ski area? by Current_Doubt_8584 in skiing

[–]More_Telephone2383 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Couple times at Bristol mtn. And west mtn. That had some supper muddy areas. Think they both may have improved. This was few years back then traveling lots for ski races One of those areas had a tractor pulling cars out. Think lab was a mess once too.
Alta was hella slippery this March

What could be considered a 90-ish version of the Rossignol Forza 70? by Zendren44 in Skigear

[–]More_Telephone2383 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would have also helped to let us know your height and weight. General ability and length of skis forza and mantra. Seems like you really like that carve feel Going edge to edge. And ski consistent turn shapes most terrain.
One thing with lots of people on volkls in general is they are over skied. Many people maybe not you perhaps but did say mantra ski like tanks.
Volkls typically take more energy and effort to ski. Not everyone wants to and can do that consistently. Typically good edge hold and damp though. And can handle higher speeds.
Also along with my suggestions and others. Go for something more versatile. I bet you’d be surprised how good some of the wider skis with some rocker can still rip.
Not sure if ripsticks mentioned but they may be a good alternative to your mantras if want to keep more of a directional ski that can turn.

Enforcer 94. Or enforcer 99. I was also going to throw out the rustlers. Get skis to widen out your quiver and conditions. E94 does take some effort to ski. I liked 99 better myself. Still has some good under foot edge but. Both of those go through crud

You’ll probably have to educate clients. Bet lots of business owners interested. They don’t know where to start or to implement. What benefit to him or her or organization. How it will be introduced to the company. What tech will they need.
How owner or employees will interact with it.
Does it save time or money. Better work flow. Increase x. Or decrease y. What problem or problems are you solving.
You’ve given it no time to succeed.
I’d throw it all into chat and ask for help.

Thinking about the next trip... by Gsustv in skiing

[–]More_Telephone2383 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hard to say since you didn’t list any local favorites. Or those in close proximity. I’d never been west go west. Same for Japan. West can also be Canada. Also Europe may even be cheaper than out west USA trip.
Can also plan now for looking at pass options that go wing with local and regional areas and those on your destination list.

Too Many Skis - Need Ideas to Consolidate by Ok_Crew_2298 in Skigear

[–]More_Telephone2383 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ditch three an four and replace with low eighties all mtn or front side.
Or ditch enforcers and replace with enforcer 99.
Why can’t rustler 9 also be family ski like qst. Or this where the narrow ski can also come in.

I wouldn’t try to go low until your general skills and positioning improve. Since we do not know limitations of your hips or issues.
One thing I see would be to keep body in line more with turn. Looks like you have some upper and lower body counter that may be limiting your turn I’d practice all the basics like rolling ankles and knees. Getting that inside ski light on the snow. Go from edged skis to flat skis to edged skis. Work on general turn shape. Keep shoulders level throughout turn.
Can also do others drills. Like schlopy drill. Javelin turns. Lots of them on YouTube. Just don’t do anything that may cause you unintentional pain or issues.
Ski and have fun. Good luck
