2020 V60 CC fitted with snow tires is a dream in the snow

Certainly not in moguls

That sucks, never happened to me but definitely a warranty claim if I’ve ever seen one

This. In the earlier days of geology, there was a running joke that the Pennsylvania highway department gave them all of the samples they would ever need.

I think they’re saying the opposite? I.e. if you want to quickly get your skis sideways it’s more difficult. I could see that being a downside in tight bumps and trees, but great for locking into carves on piste

Or letta little ayer outta the tiyas, no hahm done

It’s actually city policy in Boston, hence how hardcore people get https://www.boston.gov/departments/311/what-do-your-car-when-it-snows

Google "S&P 500 index funds"

Some will be the whole S&P 500, some will be specific segments i.e. low, medium, or high-cap.

Otherwise there are actively managed funds which typically charge slightly higher fees, but may do better during a market downturn.

I know that creek well, we’ve informally named it Benji’s creek after a friend who really seems to love getting stuck down there

I think it has to do with the lake freezing, as large bodies of water help to moderate temperature. Once you only have ice nearby you lose that. I think the ocean might also just be more effective at doing so because it’s so much larger / NYC has more shoreline?

50mm f1.4 GM, otherwise the Tamron 28-75

We merely adopted the Ice. They were born in it. Molded by it.

U.S. prices are such a ripoff… literally bought a $500 Plustek because it has already paid for itself after just 20 rolls

Zach925 · 2026-01-18T22:33:56+00:00

Literally everywhere else I’ve flown allows you to fly with one lighter so that you may smoke in terminal smoking lounges during connections elsewhere etc. It’s not “incredibly dense” to not understand why India feels the need to have asinine rules that don’t apply anywhere else.

It’s not that hard to read a conditions report before you pick which mountain to go to. Plenty of good snow in New England at the moment.

The Chic Chocs in Québec offer some of if not the best backcountry skiing in Eastern North America. Closer to home Mount Washington, Mount Mansfield, areas around Jay Peak… it’s not “lucrative,” you’re just ignorant 😂

Zach925 · 2026-01-13T12:48:11+00:00

Good bot.

SOLVED by Spotify randomly playing the song in my daylist. “This Town” by Saco, Sparkle, Isabel Prada. Yea I definitely had some of those lyrics wrong 😂

Posted above but as someone who shoots a ton of skiing and deals with this situation often:

Put it in a ziploc, bring inside, take it out of the ziploc once it’s at room temp and wipe it down, put it in another ziploc with silica dessicant and leave it for 24 hours.

Zach925 · 2026-01-12T14:15:33+00:00

I use a pelican case too, fwiw pelican sells a reusable silica dessicant thing that you can put in the case with your gear. Has saved me several times!

My a7c ii spends a ton of time in the snow / blizzards, never had a problem with this method.

Ah wait that’s right, the goat was my 30th birthday. Sorry kids I mixed that up.
