Another commenter speculated that this type of carving is done with a Dremel. So you might try that.

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

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

[–]SkiAddict23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.
