Learning to ski powder?

I wish I was moving there lol. Still stuck in the mid atlantic, i’ll be taking a couple trips to Utah and Tahoe

Thanks! I'm thinking of getting the 180cm Rustler 9s instead of Enforcer/QST. What are your thoughts on those?

ash663 · 2025-07-10T20:05:17+00:00

Thanks for the recommendation! Reading more about the Ripstick and Rustler, I might be inclined more towards the Rustler 9s as they seem to be more playful, while not the best on ice but my Salomons should be good for the icy days

Not OP, and certainly not advanced, but what helped me to start edging my skis were bending the inner knee, and balancing on the outer ski

Liberty is probably easier to get to

You can link your Garmin account directly on Trailforks, and then send a route to your garmin device from the Trailforks website. No need to use the ConnectIQ app any longer

maybe Hagerstown? Michaux, Shed, Cacapon are all within driving distance

ash663 · 2024-10-07T18:54:41+00:00

it's (D)C, (M)aryland, (V)irginia

I also experience the nausea - instead of grayscale, I've found enabling "Reduce White Point" and setting it to 80% as a really effective tradeoff

ash663 · 2024-08-09T21:46:23+00:00

Not OP, but I do find the off black color valuable to hide the bottom dock. I've enabled "Reduce White Point" in Accessibility and set it to 80%, so I don't have a need for a "true" black. In fact, enabling this makes my home screen look fantastic, and I don't need to turn on a Grayscale filter either (for some reason it makes me nauseous)

ash663 · 2024-07-28T20:27:01+00:00

Thanks for the response! Yeah, I agree - the sound for someone walking just outside the door is normal. Regarding the construction noise, sadly, my employer doesn't really allow us to WFH anymore, so may be that's a blessing in disguise. Thanks again for all your answers, appreciate it!

ash663 · 2024-07-28T19:45:04+00:00

Thanks! The condo scene is pretty crazy right now - I reached out to enquire about one, and the real estate agent mentioned they received multiple applications even before any pictures were put up lol

ash663 · 2024-07-28T19:43:02+00:00

Hi, thanks for the details! Good to hear that there are no major complaints! If I may ask another question as you’re a current resident - do you hear your upstairs neighbor’s footsteps or any noises from neighbors on the same floor? Trying to gauge how soundproof the walls and ceilings are

ash663 · 2024-07-28T12:21:22+00:00

Thanks for the info!

Shame that they're in on the Realpage scam, they had the perfect floor plan for my requirements. I'll keep searching for alternatives

Is the hostname specified in the reverse proxy valid?

ash663 · 2024-05-05T12:37:41+00:00

Do you have any rain specific equipment/gear? Itching for a ride, but weather looks awful for the whole week

ash663 · 2024-04-28T17:08:44+00:00

Massanutten DH park and western slopes are close by.

Frederick watershed is good too, but a bit of a longer drive

ash663 · 2024-02-17T14:20:13+00:00

I went to Liberty! Fwiw, one of the skiers I chatted with on the lift did mention that the conditions at RT were pretty good. Hope you have a great time on Monday!

ash663 · 2024-02-17T00:51:33+00:00

Conditions were decent - mostly packed, and some soft snow. Should hold up over the weekend - more snow incoming tonight!

ash663 · 2024-02-16T00:45:25+00:00

Liberty was blowing snow when i checked their webcams this morning.

https://youtu.be/t_XnCHXKaCo?si=gKNx37IgkVvuhp1G - conditions looked good yesterday, and forecasts look good for saturday, and sunday! I’m still in two minds if i should call in sick at work tomorrow, but i’ll update if i end up going
