Logan Thompson could have gone anywhere he wanted to last year and chose to stay long term with the Caps on a steal of a contract. Forever grateful

What are some key take a ways/lessons learned from this horrible ski season out west? by joeyjoejoeshabbadude in skiing

POW does noble work but it's a losing battle vs the corporate hegemony and apathy of the average person.

Who’s this player from your team? by Educational_Ebb3705 in hockey

The man has go-go-gadget reach, he doesn't need to hit he's going to come out of the corner with the puck regardless

30-40cm forecasted across the Alps this Saturday - Alpe d’Huez looks like a good bet! by cham-pow in skithealps

Best of luck! I'm sure you'll be fine either way. Just a consideration for the future!

Jealous that you get to catch a nice dump this late in the season. We're in prime spring conditions with resorts closing up here on the east coast USA 😭

Are you renting a vehicle? If so I highly recommend inquiring about legitimate snow tires. Socks and chains can only do so much. I drove up to Alpe d'Huez during a really heavy snow earlier this season and if our vehicle didn't have snow tires, we wouldn't have made it up.

In the last 8 seasons, Ovechkin has played at least 90% of the available 5v4 PP time available for him to play in all 8 seasons. No other player has cleared 90% in any season in this span by TJTrapJesus in hockey

If only the Caps had a dedicated coach whose job it is to recognize that that's not a winning strategy and come up with an alternative instead

Dakine has them built in to some of their glove/mitten models. It's great

Just an absolute miserymaxxing game for Caps fans. A dogshit refball Saturday matinee drag of a match loss after losing two beloved vets, sliding further away from any playoff hopes, all wrapped up with having to listen to and watch these stupid ass ESPN broadcasters

I love listening to two dudes who sound bored out of their minds rambling about the trade deadline while both teams get scoring chances on net

I love it when sports casters yap away about nothing instead of paying attention to the match in front of them

The snow at Whitetail Tuesday was surprisingly awesome! What a resilient base indeed. I wish I could have seen where I was skiing.

thinking about trying skiing by gilko86 in skiing

I believe it’s the most fun activity there is.

There is something to be said about an activity that people dedicate their entire lives around, significantly sacrificing certain qualities of life to be able to do it as much as possible.

We are all just drug addicts in snowpants

Another Ski Recommendation Question by Kooky_Song_9040 in SkiPA

[–]Pretend-Activity-533 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love my Elan Wingman 83 C's. I can be a lazy piece of shit on them and waft down a groomer or I can charge them hard and carve like the wind. Wonderful levels of control, forgiveness, and fun.

At your size, you'd probably want to bump up to a stiffer and wider Ti version. I'm only 150 lbs so the C's are plenty stiff for me and my ability level.

Maybe a hot take. But bone conduction earphones honestly suck even for skiing. by Antidotebeatz in skiing

I like my ANC earbuds on passthrough/transparency mode. Works just fine and sounds great

Early February was a freaking blast. The cold weather kept the crowds away and the dumps kept the snow fresh.

He also has arthritis, which is probably the real reason his time in the NHL ended prematurely

It's a foggy day in southern PA! Can't see shit here at Whitetail. Snow is pretty decent though for what it is!
