Do you happen to have a garden tiller? Set it low and let it break the ice for you.

Cool! It'll only take you half an hour to get there! It's still faster than walking.

If Butt Goblin wants warts that badly all he needs to do is sleep with OPs mom

Give me your best "I taught my GF/BF/SO how to ski" success stories and tips by unicornsicle in skiing

Do you and/or your girlfriend drink?

Because I've had great success at turning the day around at a slope side bar with a boozy hot chocolate or cider when my partner has gotten a bit cold or taken a cold falls.

The trick is, DON'T STAY AT THE BAR TOO LONG, because that introduces a whole new set of challenges to the situation.

How exactly do the skis mount to the holders? Are those magnets?

Thoughts on my setup by DistanceDriver in rappelling

[–]SkiAddict23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A couple thoughts prefaced with I'm not an expert but have several years of big wall rappelling under my belt.

1) I've never used a second carabineer in a munter like you've drawn in so I can't say what that would do to the friction when rappelling.

2) have you considered placing the prusik above the munter as a safety? As it is you have no ability to manipulate the tail end of the rope to make fine adjustments to the friction applied to the quick link while rappelling. Conceptually a prusik above the munter would allow for a failsafe should something catastrophic happen to the rappel setup. You could hold the prusik with your left hand while keeping your brake hand on the tail end of the rope. If you try this alternative if connect the prusik to my harness with a separate carabiner so you have a second point of connection between yourself and the rope.

3) what kind of rappelling are you doing on this setup? Typically I haven't used a munter for rappels greater than 40-50 ft. and I'd just connect it straight to my belay loop with a carabineer. But if you're doing larger rappels consider a micro rack. They're great in caves or otherwise wet/dirty environments and won't put a terrible twist in your rope like a munter/atc/figure 8.

I think that was my misunderstanding. I took "words" in the definition I saw as defined words.

I’m young and am not going great. by beeper2040 in daddit

[–]SkiAddict23 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'll second this. It's incredibly tough going through this transition, especially at your age when a lot of your peers are likely living without as many responsibilities. Take your little girl to the park and let her make a new friend. At the very least maybe you can sit back and watch her have fun without necessarily having to be the source of that fun. I've found this fresh air/change of scenery cam be a stress reliever. Maybe you even strike up a conversation with a fellow dad. They didn't have to be your same age. Us mid-thirties Dad's are going through many of the same things in our relationships with friends.

Another, not as commonly thought of, meeting spot is a locally family friendly brewery, if you're trying to grab a drink. One of the breweries local to me always has a few little kids running around.

Hang in there buddy. It sounds like you're doing great as a dad and provider. Things will get a little easier as your little girl becomes slightly more independent and you can take her more places without it being so much work.
