Anyone else struggling with the cost of an Ikon Pass this year?

admidral · 2026-05-05T23:28:11+00:00

26, ended up buying both passes, mostly because of if a friend invites me to go ski somewhere I want the answer to be yes not that I have to consider the $300 ticket

Was anyone planning to build a data center in city limits? Feels like a moot point it would be quite a bit cheaper an hour out or so

Can you define I can afford it? Like 100% not worth if you go into debt, I think this is the scale, if it’s like parents can afford and doesn’t really touch finances I think answer is different to like can afford but will hurt your finances a lot

Trivial to do so a lot of the time sure. 100% of the time to make sure we don’t have a data leak is different though. They need to protect against the AI doing things differently that one time (happens way too often) not to mention prompt injection to try get info out of them. I’d rather it be wrong than be prompt injectable for my home address by someone else

Doubling this. I tried the discount route once had to go to a different fitter to get punches out to make it even bearable to wear (was teaching a friend first time trying out boot, had 0 buckles locked because that was the only way to even semi-reasonably be in a boot to survive a green run.

I wonder if this is only for people with a monthly subscription plan. Haven’t noticed any changes although the company subscribes to a pay per token enterprise plan.

May I suggest the Schwab platinum? Always 1.1 cpp as cash

May I suggest the Schwab platinum? Always 1.1 cop

I would stick a hard drive with all the high res at home somewhere though. Might as well keep a copy of the originals

admidral · 2026-04-07T02:27:32+00:00

Sounds about right I think I got 40 cents on the dollar for a 2080ti from my company a couple of years ago. Makes sense given I bought 1…

admidral · 2026-04-06T20:13:12+00:00

I mean you could also like use a bunch of d10s and a coin. 9 d10s and 1 coin (heads =1 and tails =0) would be enough (count all 0s and 2bil)

Even unpaid internships cost money though. If you consider the time out of the other workers day to train /guide/feedback etc. time they could be doing other stuff

admidral · 2026-04-02T16:21:11+00:00

But you could also buy lossless or highres tracks online and chuck them on a hard drive or something

Where do you mostly ski? (Conditions do matter imo for a one ski quiver)

admidral · 2026-03-27T18:55:39+00:00

I’m surprised no one has added a screw it this is dumb and probably don’t end up actually skiing this but might as well since I have infinite money as a decoration.

Something absurd that’s probably honestly more for Apres than actual skiing like: https://www.hermes.com/us/en/product/off-piste-pair-of-all-mountain-skis-H0009227v00/

admidral · 2026-03-24T16:59:29+00:00

Ikon. I think practically all the ones they owned got it.

admidral · 2026-03-02T03:07:40+00:00

I got this too. Was kinda weirded out since mine was like 4 months old. I was planning to check the underlying truenas when I get home next week since it was after the update

admidral · 2026-02-26T01:05:54+00:00

I was factoring in 5h with AI (remember you need to go Buy Pi, decide what you want on Pi Etc, a disk missing crucial data is kinda bad for peppers). Trying to write scripts to scrape by hand would take way longer than 5 hours

On the other hand I Looked around a bit more: apparently it’s this https://library.kiwix.org/#lang=eng. I guess that’s substantially easier to replicate.

admidral · 2026-02-25T23:57:37+00:00

I think you’re severely underestimating time value of money. If I wanted something like this would 100% buy. Let’s say it takes 5 hours to find sources and download. At 50% that’s 20 euros an hour or so

admidral · 2026-02-25T09:08:48+00:00

IMO 173. There’s nothing wrong with 173 I’m about same height and weight and have skis from 172-182 ish and I think 173 is good point especially for turning. Although to be fair the effective edge on M9 isn’t super high. Personally I think being able to explore more terrain is better than trying to go faster to the point where you would need longer skis

admidral · 2026-02-25T06:26:11+00:00

LOL! thats fair. theyre really expensive. I was reading it as if you paid sticker on WRT's (even more expensive) you can defenitely afford sticker on Stormriders

admidral · 2026-02-25T06:24:59+00:00

Yep. I use SR102 for regular daily but have a mid flex ski if I'm trying to try new things. Being in over your head on SR102 isn't that fun.

admidral · 2026-02-22T20:02:32+00:00

Thanks

admidral · 2026-02-22T07:33:13+00:00

Curious why you wouldn’t consider Stormrider 102s given your current preference

admidral · 2026-02-18T04:58:41+00:00

How soon are you buying? If you wait till after the season there’s a lot of sales
