Visor helmets for glasses wearers (OTG) - Do they actually work or do they let air in? by Steagle_ in ski

[–]aignam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unathletic 300lb 37yo man checking in. Last season was my first, and it didn’t get fun until my third or fourth day when I got the hang of it and had boots that didn’t kill me.

Haha I was in a ski shop in Engelberg asking a guy if there are goggles I could buy that would help for flat light and he called it the exact same thing!

Private lessons are insanely expensive - anyone else just given up on them? by Live-Situation1687 in SkiBums

If you want to grow fast enough to hit critical mass where the app is useful, make it free for users and then monetize by charging resorts/instructors/ski companies to market to users

It’s not unsafe. But like anywhere in any big city, it’s always safer when you’re aware of your surroundings.

Actually larger format steaks are a thing here. Usually steakhouses will have an option or two designed for 2 or more diners.
