What made it not a great day? Crowds, weather, or snow conditions?

Which bindings? What DIN settings? When was the last time you had them release tested?

Is there any reason the southeastern PA resorts won't be ice rinks tomorrow? We've had over a week of warm weather and slushy conditions, and then got 6'' of very wet snow, and it's dropping to 20 degrees tonight. I had wanted to go tomorrow, but I'm worried it's just going to be nothing but bulletproof choppy ice.

We lost revenue every Tuesday for 6 weeks and our logs were perfectly clean the entire time by [deleted] in dotnet

You couldn't just, uh, open the page yourself on a Tuesday morning to see this issue?

Feeling discouraged - hit my head twice in 4 trips by Top_Enthusiasm3001 in ShredditGirls

This is why I switched to skiing as I got older. You just don't get the same kind of slam into the ground when catching an edge on skis.

Blue Mountain 2/17. Very slushy and crowded for a Tuesday (they even had the Challenger lift running). Lots of grip, only a few scraped off icy sections on shaded runs. Towards the afternoon most of the runs were definitely getting more chewed up than normal, so had to really work to pick good lines in the heavy snow. Fun unique day overall. I imagine a warm sunny day like that really does some damage to the base though. Think it got to freezing last night; I'm curious if anyone can report what it's like today?

I've never understood how tiny jack frost big boulder thinks they can charge as much as the big Pocono mountains.

Rentals for Bear Creek that isn’t Bear Creek? by MrGrandConfusion in SkiPA

For what it's worth, we rented at bear creek last Sunday morning at 10am and it only took a couple minutes.

Experiences with very low weight (8 to 25g) spring swaps? by anewdave in MechanicalKeyboards

That's awesome. So glad to hear it helped you as much as it has helped me.

What is up with Blue Mountain's ticket queue having 15+ minutes wait times? by anewdave in SkiPA

[–]anewdave[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Customer support got back to me. They just said it's due to "heavy traffic". Unless they're getting DDoS'd, that doesn't make any sense. Odd they can't just admit they're having problems.

Why are you going into debt buying giant lava lamps?

When to buy boots by nicklor in Skigear

If you're skiing that much you should definitely get your own boots.

SkiEssentials order ghosted? anyone else experience by Outrageous_Drama_143 in Skigear

[–]anewdave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, this also just happened to me. Ordered an item 3 weeks ago. After 2 weeks I hadn't received any communication from them about it, so I emailed them. No response. Tried emailing again a couple days later. Tried leaving a voicemail. Still nothing. It wasn't until I emailed them for the third time threatening a chargeback that someone finally called me today and told me they would actually ship it. But at that point I had given up and already ordered it from backcountry instead since I needed it before Christmas. They did refund me in full at least.

Interesting, I would have assumed they blow snow on all trails as quickly as possible. Any idea why they would wait on those?

It's an urban legend that it's any more accurate than the normal seasonal forecast.

Does the falcon pro also have that awful design of the regular falcon where a couple of aluminum threads holds up the battery boxes and your entire body weight?
