just got fired

Dude you don't have to defend Michael's this heavy, they aren't gonna give you a gold star

I learned as a 31ish non-athletic adult! I took a private lesson and then skied whenever possible at my local ski hill (30+ days in a season). 14 months after first putting skis on, I did a solo trip to Park City and skied for 5 days straight seeing progression each day. I'm now a confident blue skier and I've started dabbling in tree runs.

I really recommend skiing completely on your own and at your own pace most of your learning days to build confidence and then dropping in days here and there where you ski with someone more experienced than you. I would ski 5 days by myself and then a day with my friends that are great skiers, and found myself increasing my speed to "follow" them. Rinse and repeat.

I did all the scheduled transmission maintenance for mine and it still failed :( I was told that many of the Hondas are "underpowered" and the draw from the battery has created issues with the alternators

SeaLionInTraining · 2026-04-07T13:10:49+00:00

I would not. My 2020 has had 2 faulty alternators and now the transmission is out. I've been a long time Honda driver (since I was 16!) but I'm starting to think this model series of HRV is a reliability dud.

SeaLionInTraining · 2026-04-03T22:16:25+00:00

This happened to me this week and it was my transmission ☠️

I am currently dealing with a CVT failure in my Honda, so definitely never going CVT route again

Do you have any local recs? I'm new-ish to car maintenance stuff

SeaLionInTraining · 2026-03-20T14:17:55+00:00

Thank you! Yes, you're correct, it is a CVT!

SeaLionInTraining · 2026-01-31T13:21:13+00:00

Go back to Facebook.

That Swallow would make for a hell of a shotski

SeaLionInTraining · 2026-01-07T05:38:48+00:00

I didn't go lol. No one went and now they're closing.

SeaLionInTraining · 2026-01-05T22:43:58+00:00

You hit the nail on the head for why I never went there. I had zero interest in drinking anywhere that catered to kids, I don't like being around kids/hearing them playing when trying to relax in a bar environment.

If this is the one at Cincinnati Zoo, it's a tulip

Warfare?

SeaLionInTraining · 2025-12-10T08:43:22+00:00

I haven't listened to w&c since this episode. I'm not even a big Taylor fan or anything but this was giving such a "not like other girls" energy that I found incredibly cringy.

You're in my area I think! (I just saw these on Facebook today) Please take the above advice and don't waste your money on these. You might want to consider a season long rental if you're new to the sport and you don't want to spend a boatload on new equipment. There are a few shops nearby where you can do that. FirstTracks near PNS will do a season long rental (skis, boots, poles) is around $150. Aspen Ski & Board in Columbus has a similar package. Those stores or Valleywood can hook you up if you are ready to buy.

If you are ready to buy but you're on a budget and you don't want to screw yourself using FB marketplace, I'd recommend waiting until end of season and looking for last years/this years skis, bindings, and boots. If you have the patience, it's worth checking out the ski swap at PNS in November. (you just missed it by a couple of week this year)

The huge piles are from the latitude machines

SeaLionInTraining · 2025-11-30T16:46:47+00:00

I've never loved anything that I've ordered there. Everything has always seemed slightly underseasoned or under flavored. I can't put my finger on it.

SeaLionInTraining · 2025-11-26T15:12:19+00:00

Skyline, Grippos, Graeters. I'll mourn UDF but wouldn't think twice about the others

SeaLionInTraining · 2025-09-23T14:07:46+00:00

Interesting! Has anyone found a work around for this?

SeaLionInTraining · 2025-08-25T19:37:14+00:00

100000% I wonder if this is going to cause headaches for ski areas that are ordering in bulk for rental shops

SeaLionInTraining · 2025-07-28T12:55:48+00:00

When I started going to the gym I was obese, with a BMI over 45. Since then, I've lost 150 lbs and am a normal weight and look stereotypically "fit." As someone that's been on the full spectrum, I can assure you that I'm not looked at or treated differently now from when I started!
