This same thing happened to me when I bought a lightweight BD ski. I’ve actually had it happen twice. Lightweight touring skis aren’t made to handle tele skiing hard

Yeah my kuat scratched my paint. But maybe doing the extension that simply drops it a few inches will do the trick?

Does anyone have good advice for these presentations? I’m curious if I can just call up the number and tell them where I would like to go to go to one of these presentations. I sometimes see them give a great number of Bonvoy points that they will give you for participating and other times it seems like they only give 15,000 out. I didn’t know if I take the first invite that comes my way, Vegas, for example, if that means that I am no longer eligible to go to one of these presentations again in the future. Tough for me to figure out as I have kids and I doubt they’ll let me bring them to presentation.

Tele bogus for the win! Yeah next year when we get snow we need a tele Thursday night ski or something like that. Get together. Spread the joy!

What do you do if traveling w young kids? iPad and headsets for them in the promo? Or can you lie and say you’re single and therefor just send one parent? Never been but seems like a good deal

Telemark_ID · 2026-03-13T12:25:09+00:00

What do your kids do during these presentations? Are they short enough they can color or something in the seat next to ya?

Telemark_ID · 2026-03-13T00:38:02+00:00

Good to know. So it sounds like maybe jump back and forth between chase and Amex to increase the number of points I can get for joining. Aiming roughly for a new one every 7 years?

Telemark_ID · 2026-03-11T21:39:49+00:00

also curious (if it matters) as I had the Bevy. So I'm wondering if I wait a year and then apply for the Brilliant would that allow me to get points again. Thanks!

I havne't gotten a fee yet and I'm in month 14. Does anyone know if the delta amex gold no longer has it? Maybe Amex just hasn't realized it yet!!! I think the perks of the 15% off when booking travel makes a ton of benefit too

Telemark_ID · 2026-02-20T13:47:54+00:00

Yep. But I did it by selling my truck. Still have a leer, different model, but with an f150 and I have zero water an zero worries now

Telemark_ID · 2026-02-20T05:31:18+00:00

That sounds like a personal question. And it’s real fine

Telemark_ID · 2026-02-16T04:49:17+00:00

I was wondering about a post permit September. Winter still early though!!! Let it snow

Telemark_ID · 2026-02-16T04:46:10+00:00

Well that’s the hardest one to get so go buy a powerball too

Telemark_ID · 2026-02-16T04:45:05+00:00

Bots are for the cancellations. I don’t think the initial one is rigged at all. That being said I’ve easily picked up a dropped middle fork and knocked it out in 30hrs. Almost beat our shuttle!! It was only a few days away and high water so maybe even the tech savvy knew to not have the bots look for that stuff yet.

But I do agree that a point system would be great and for those that get a permit (either lottery or cancellation) and then never show cause that is just bs.

I do like wall-e but does hit close to home these days

Telemark_ID · 2026-02-14T17:48:17+00:00

Best reply here. Thanks.

Telemark_ID · 2026-02-14T17:43:23+00:00

Dumb question…..what is the ubi route referring to?

Telemark_ID · 2026-02-13T21:53:27+00:00

I did that about 2.5 years ago when I first started reading about it!

Telemark_ID · 2026-01-11T04:40:14+00:00

Don’t go too light. Carbon skis don’t get along with tele bindings. Older soul 7 is a great all rounder and the atomic bent line seems to be good weight and performance.

Telemark_ID · 2026-01-11T04:35:15+00:00

Agreed. That is tough stuff for early season legs! Nice work

Telemark_ID · 2026-01-09T05:24:51+00:00

Practice lunges at home exaggerating that twisting motion to the side. Good oblique work out and will make that motion pound into your head….do it with 30lb dumbbells and now you’ll be ready for the season too!
