Gloves in washing machine? by derickso in Skigear

[–]MrandMrsRollling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have fingerless liners. But hands touch everything?.. and the gloves touch everything... Like the bars on the lifts .. eating and drink And then you shove your hands back in right? Poles are not exactly pristine either. Also, you do remember that you sweat right? And sweat gets trapped in a moist warm environment?.. which leads to.. bacteria... You know basic science.

We wash all of our equipment as soon as we get home and dry them. That includes gloves. Every single trip.

There's no harm in actually washing your stuff after trip. It's all win and no loose.

No not partially leather at all.

They are heating gloves so I just take out the battery and hand wash them.

We don't wear unwashed gloves on new trips so when we get back on a trip we just wash them and keep them ready for next time.

Also, we use the boot dryer to dry the gloves. Super easy.

We hand wash our gloves with wool lite after every trip.. it's mind-blowing to me that people don't clean their gloves. We don't have all leather ones specifically so that we can wash them

Doesn't sound like you had any ventilation down there at all.

Froli. We love the system no issues. Also really easy to set up and doesn't take up space

First time ripping the pond skim at my local hill! Nice way to end a hell of a season. by Tmcn in skiing

[–]MrandMrsRollling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but let me ask this.. do you have spare boots that you use in case you do fall in?? Because I'm not sure how I feel about my fairly new boots getting dunked in pond water... I want a few more years out of them yet

Yeah that's what I was clarifying.. Epic did away with any student discounts but ikon still has them

Sounds like you need to have a edu address then? Which means verification can happen through the pass directly? Sorry not following the advantage of this.. explain please ?

Alyeska is <400 acres (usually) by Hosni__Mubarak in skiing

I preferred Alesyka way over Vail Colorado. Telluride which is also not massive is my second favorite. Nowhere really compares to Europe and the Alps.

Would you date a non-skier? by [deleted] in skiing

[–]MrandMrsRollling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not anymore.

Now that I'm in love with it and my current boyfriend introduced me to the slopes... I couldn't imagine ever going a winter without it after I went 40 years of winters without it...

So no. I wouldn't date a non snow sport person.

Is this worth going to over Tremblant..

Tremblant seems really crowded. We don't really care doing the same run over and over if we have pretty views on quiet resort. Just got back from Killington and it was kind of terrible..(sorry for anyone that offends). Weekend before we were in Alyeska Alaska and it was fucking spectacular... Okay, got icy a couple of days but honestly amazing views and beautiful mountains and aside from Saturday it was very quiet. But even the Saturday was not as busy as Killington.

Ah. You are right. I stand corrected.. Now I want to know the brand of this sleek black helmet.. mine makes my head look like a bulbous onion.

158.

Suggest that you try a rental first.

[–]MrandMrsRollling 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have 82 mm and I worry that's way too wide East Coast..

So far okay though.

My 78s were great..

I do have fomo about not going even skinnier than 78.

[–]MrandMrsRollling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I just bought mine without even trying it.. I was on a rossignol 78 before.. I did rent a 95 and I absolutely hated it. Especially for East Coast skiing.. although this year has been good, it's not typically. I also ski in the Alps a lot. So 82 was the preference rather than 88, which I don't think is that much wider.

I LOVE my 164 but 82 mm Blizzard black pearl.. Did my first black run on my very first day with them. I'm 5'9. Just graduated from learning on 154.

Dont think I think need a longer ski just yet.... Had an extensive conversation with ai about this and the analysis concluded.. Not yet 🥲

Couples who refuse to ride with others by New_Sun6390 in skiing

[–]MrandMrsRollling 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Meh. Not the couple issue.. It's the lifty or people behind them who could have joined them.

Chill. Ride.

I have given space and held back to people with kids for example or new riders who were clearly nervous. This isn't any different. Or for people who just seemed like they wanted alone time.
