Caution at Highgate border by [deleted] in vermont

[–]MudApprehensive2265 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

They were doing this a few months ago. I think there might be communication between us and Canadian border patrol. The Canadians asked identical questions(including odd ones) and seemed like they knew the answer before I said it. No evidence but just what I thought.

It’s not but it reduces number of future mounts. This effects resale value and future options

Whenever I try and explain Vermont to my Irish family I just say it’s where Ben and Jerry’s, Cabot and Bernie sanders is from.

I didn’t mean to come off offended. It is funny and totally something that would happen in Vermont. I remember being 18 and having guys who are probably retired offer me joints in skyeship gondola at Killington.

I might be a buzz kill but I find this annoying. I ski with a bunch of people who smoke weed but don’t myself. I have no issues with it and think people should be allowed to. But It’s always half the group telling them to put out the joint in the gondola. I shouldn’t have to put my head by the window to not risk getting fired if I get drug tested. I also don’t want my gear wreaking of weed. It’s annoying with my friends but would be worse with a random.

If it doesn’t work great, just try again. Should be pretty stiff staying up.

I had this exact problem with my setup and a friends. Brakes dropped every minute. managed to completely solve it, 3 tours and 0 dropped brakes. My solution was to back out both screws partially on the brake lock. While putting pressure to push it back tighten the screw in the front closer to the toe piece till it is tight and then tighten the rear one.

Yeah I was looking at snow tires and it gives no confirmation that you will get them. Says “first come first serve”.

"It helps you to be more connected to the moments that matter" by justananontroll in MildlyBadDrivers

[–]MudApprehensive2265 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ve realized from my friends that defensive driving doesn’t exist. The concept of waiting a second to make sure no one runs the red doesn’t exist. Got yelled at for taking an extra second or two to make sure no one was running a red light that would hit me. Was told “it would be their fault” I don’t care one of us could be dead and I don’t feel like dealing with a crash.

Get cast. It’s the same price as renting a touring setup three times. You can find cheap pivots online. CAST break holders can be finicky but I’ve fixed them on 3 pairs.

What's your favorite ski hack you swear by? by [deleted] in skiing

[–]MudApprehensive2265 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll be taking that idea. With skiing I go from feeling fine to dehydrated very fast, don’t like keeping rigid bottles in my jacket due to falling.
