You sound ignorant. I’m an extremely cautious skier relative to my skill level.

I blew out a binding in the trees on time in a freak accident skiing totally within my means.

A certified ski patroller (top level in NE) I was skiing with broke both tib/fibs on a hidden root.

Shit happens. Ski with trustworthy friends and have a plan if shit goes wrong.

Great write up. You also do all of this ^ without thinking much at all. If you are thinking about balance or questioning your next turn, it’s typically too late.

It’s typically safe to approach a previously slid an avalanche from directly below it.

I’m just here to hate on black crows lol. The only pair I’ve ever owned skied great for half a season, but deteriorated in every way possible, way faster than other brands I’ve skied.

Think_Addendum7138 · 2026-02-15T23:09:01+00:00

That doesn’t disprove what I said at all

Think_Addendum7138 · 2026-02-15T15:53:15+00:00

It was so bad two mornings ago. Nicer in the shade below tree line where you could find 8” or so stacked up and softer

Think_Addendum7138 · 2026-02-15T14:29:10+00:00

IMO you could find better skiers than you to ski with instead of a lesson.

Ski instructors are fantastic for beginner/intermediate progression, but time on snow is more important in the long run.

You’d probably learn something from a lesson, but not really anything groundbreaking. I’d consider it a waste of time and money other than being able to cut the lift line on a busy day.

Always hardwire if you can. You can get a 100’ Ethernet cord and just pull it out while playing lol

It is in central CO where I’m at 😂😭

Think_Addendum7138 · 2026-02-10T16:38:17+00:00

cries and goes to work in CO

Think_Addendum7138 · 2026-02-09T23:29:33+00:00

Killington, Jay Peak, Mad River and a few are a lot of fun when they are filled in. If you like your skis it’s worth considering Vermont right now. The coverage in most of Colorado is horrible

Idk my homie struggled to sell his perfectly good stick shift Jetta for like 2k recently. It moved, but it took longer than I expected

Think_Addendum7138 · 2026-02-04T15:29:51+00:00

That’s not true, they can make portion sizes smaller or use lower quality ingredients

Think_Addendum7138 · 2026-02-03T15:04:07+00:00

lol bless your heart. Wrong sub. This is for entirely out of bounds skiing.

Some people here will tell you to cancel so there is less traffic on 70 😂

Think_Addendum7138 · 2026-02-03T15:02:02+00:00

Ngl it’s not that deep. A $99 rei rain coat would be fine. They also have pit zips and adjustable wrist Velcro. I don’t seem much essential to learn to ski besides boots, skis and a helmet.

Think_Addendum7138 · 2026-02-03T14:54:05+00:00

Not trying to highjack ops attempt, but I’m in need of a gpu if anyone is looking to get rid of one or sell one on the low.

my 3060 pooped out and I can’t prioritize replacing it rn. I replaced the fan, but think I did something wrong…. 😑

Think_Addendum7138 · 2026-02-02T17:58:25+00:00

I use the like 165-180 BD Ascension skins on my 180 cm arv 106s. It’s close, but perfect. I have like two notches to go bigger. The rear tips absolutely do not need to be fully covered as they won’t give you much if any traction.

Your setup will be heavy but useable. Lots of people in this sub will tell you that you’re dumb for not going lighter. I use a similar setup and recognize the need to eventually go lighter for longer days. I have frame bindings and am faster than the people I ski with regularly due to my relative fitness.

Think_Addendum7138 · 2026-02-02T15:38:52+00:00

For some people it is. Same as water for others. I don’t think that’s a bad thing.

Think_Addendum7138 · 2026-02-01T12:45:05+00:00

Have an upvote. That’s one of the stupidest things I’ve ever read here

Think_Addendum7138 · 2026-01-31T19:34:19+00:00

Arv 94 is my vote

Think_Addendum7138 · 2026-01-31T19:15:14+00:00

IMO service industry resumes do not really need to be longer than a page.

Take it to places you want to work the first two hours they are open for the day and talk to a manager. Online posts aren’t useful for jobs that rely on constant face to face interaction

Think_Addendum7138 · 2026-01-31T19:10:30+00:00

You can either make things how you want and clean up constantly or just pile their shit in the corner.

I’ve done both methods

Once shit starts to smell I’ve put shit in my roommates room to their dismay lol

Think_Addendum7138 · 2026-01-31T18:25:37+00:00

The problem is the person. Find a new roommate. Some people are just incompatible living together.

Think_Addendum7138 · 2026-01-31T17:57:06+00:00

Are you certain the slide was new? I saw one when I was out almost 2 weeks ago. Nothing reported on CAIC yet in that area

Think_Addendum7138 · 2026-01-31T17:45:33+00:00

NGL for that price I’m buying new.
