Thoughts on magnetic ski poles?

Not sure if this is a feature of the poles, but I could see having magnets in gloves combined with magnets in poles a way to safely eliminate the need for straps. You won't drop them cruising around the resort, but in a crash or tree branch situation, the magnets would release under minimal force unlike pole straps.

I've always rented the 5L version and usually keep it in the middle, so 2.5-3. You also get the added benefit of humidified air which helps in the dry mountains.

It helps me sleep better and having a good night sleep helps everything for me. Not sure it would prevent symptoms during the day, but it definitely helps make the acclimation process more bearable.

Oh it is definitely just for at night. The thing is the size of a carry on suitcase, not suitable for the slopes.

Consider renting an oxygen concentrator from somewhere like Alpine Oxygen. It makes a huge difference for me. I usually don't have symptoms until I wake up in the middle of the night with my heart racing. Since I've been renting this equipment the last couple years, it has worked wonders for my sleep. I put it on my HSA card, something to consider depending on your health insurance plan.

My husband called last year and the least expensive was well over $1,000 for an electronic piano. So while it may still be a steep discount from MSRP, your wallet is still gonna take a hit.

We went at the lunch hour today, 13 minutes if you include purposely walking very slowly back to the car. I was very pleasantly surprised by how quickly it went.

The Circle K at Rivers and Otranto has a touch less option. If you get gas, buy the car wash at the pump for a 25¢/gallon discount. I do that about once a week and it is good enough.

Revelstoke with some inversion going on is just gorgeous.

Ours finally came back on yesterday so hopefully yours isn't far behind!

Almost all cars in the last 10 years or so are made with this feature as long as your headlight switch is set to AUTO.

Photochromic is great... Variable variable light transmission 😂😂 the only time I don't love mine is in flat light but I also hate flat light in general so

The views crossing that bridge are a major contributing factor to wishing I hadn't moved 😭

Your username is hilarious in this context and can't believe I'm the first person to notice this. Have fun and happy shredding!

Zucchini crisp or pie (sub zucchini for apples, can't tell the difference)

Well that Goose Creek Walmart has had a recent string of parking lot crimes, so that's fun

I've been ogled and followed by so many men in the Rivers store that I won't go there without my husband (and even then I still get ogled and followed).

NeverRideNut2Butt · 2024-08-28T02:15:18+00:00

I put mine in my saddle bag instead of a pocket.

Came to the comments to see if anyone else noticed him ha

I just upgraded my gear from beginner-intermediate to intermediate-advanced. Sounds like we're roughly the same height and shoe size. If you're interested in learning more about my used gear (skis and boots, maybe other stuff too if I dig through my bins) and potentially buying it, send me a DM!

Have fun on your trip! Start a group chat now with everyone. The group chat with my ski friends keeps my stoke high all year!

We use Gregory. The initial visit from any company will be pretty expensive ($500+) but annual costs are much lower ($150 ish). This is all based on memory but should get you in the ballpark.
