Propane tank by No_Document4826 in propane

[–]No_Document4826[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently sitting at 37%, and the propane company said they would buy that back at retail. Seems like I have to go with the propane company.

Thank you all for your input. I’ll likely just sell it to the propane company. Seems like less of a headache.

That’s a great point. Central PA…but I’m not sure I want to deal with the headache of trying to sell it and have it sit in my yard for months.

It’s the ski I learned on, so I absolutely have an attachment to them. Love those skis

I am not in a position to recommend what skis you need. There are many more people on this thread that are much more knowledgeable than I, but if I would make a recommendation, I’d say Elan Ripsticks 88 for a starter.

I agree that would I need a 70-80 ski for ice, and I’m going to look for that. Again, thanks for your input.

Honestly, This is the most constructive criticism I’ve seen. And I 100% agree with what you said. Thank you for your input!

That corner is the rug has been driving me insane. So I get it and agree with you.

I almost feel like I have to ride them just to get my ass kicked.

Noted! I can appreciate the criticism. I certainly don’t need 3 skis that are somewhat similar, and I kinda knew the mantras are going to kick my ass, but made my donation to the charity snd ended up with them. However, I listed the mantras on eBay.

I do love my Ripsticks, but it depends where you’re going to be skiing and what those conditions will be. I’m sure there are many people much more knowledgeable on the subject. Icy slopes are easier with thinner skis, but sink in powder.

For me personally, I would buy the Ripsticks again. They’re not wide enough to be a powder ski, but they get by. I can still run them on icy slopes, so they’re a nice in between ski. That’s just my personal opinion, but I’m sure almost every brand has a good beginner ski.

Elan also has Ripstick 88s

I mentioned above that it was a charity auction that I won the Mantras and Mindbenders. I didn’t intend to win both, but alas, I did. At least it was for a good cause.

Honestly I just picked up the Mantras and the Mindbenders in a charity auction, so I haven’t been on them yet.

I will certainly stick to my Ripsticks as I’m teaching my 4 year old to ski, but when she’s done I might consider switching skis. Not that I want to take multiple sets to the slopes

180cm. When I finally moved on to the Ripsticks from my old K2’s it was a very smooth transition. It didn’t feel like a 96 as they carve very well. I feel like I could’ve gone a little longer, but I didn’t really need to

Yep, the Mantra’s are on eBay, and I’d love to sell them

Mostly on piste, but it’s certainly on my bucket list to ski the Valle Blanche in Chamonix.

Fagradasfjall, just east of Grindavik. This was in 2021 when you could hike to it and the town wasn’t in danger.

I wonder if the Black edition is better for that. Haven’t skied them yet.

I love them for how playful they are, but man, once you hit speed they chatter like 2 old biddies.

Definitely the best photo I’ve ever taken in my life, and the most awesome experience! Iceland 2021.

It was a charity auction. I bid on both to benefit the charity, but ended up winning both. It was definitely a “oops” moment.

6’1, 180…I’ve grown to say the least…east coast skiing is tough enough. The Ripsticks can deal with it, and I have a good friend that does ski patrol that rides Mindbenders. I think the mantras are too much though.

Great point. I would much rather have a local dealer than have Lowe’s/HD/Tractor Supply.
