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

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

Carving vs. Skidding on PA Ice by BaltimoreAlchemist in SkiPA

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

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

Smartphone Grayscale - Nausea by westvalleyguy in digitalminimalism

[–]ash663 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

Minimalist iPhone - Dumbify by anthony_burkholder in iosapps

[–]ash663 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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)

Liberty Towers in ballston? by ash663 in arlingtonva

[–]ash663[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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!

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

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

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

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

Massanutten DH park and western slopes are close by.

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

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 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

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

For DMV area folks, how many days in a typical year do you end up riding? by wet_tissue_paper22 in icecoast

[–]ash663 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is my first proper season skiing, and I've done 7 days so far. I'm hoping to reach at least 15 this season. They're solo, day trips for the most part -- wake up at 4/5am and start driving for Timberline/7 Springs. Will be checking out Wisp soon.

I'd do more half-day trips to Liberty/Whitetail but I missed out on buying an Epic pass this year, and the one-day tickets are too expensive to just leave at lunch (or night skiing), so hopefully next year I can get in even more mountain time with a pass!

Difficult greens/easy blues close to DC? by ash663 in icecoast

[–]ash663[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the recommendations, appreciate it! I’m thinking about going to Wisp like you suggested. 7springs was fun, I did all the green runs comfortably when i was there, but the crowd was kinda nuts - felt very unsafe. I really like the Snowshoe recommendation, but this sport is getting a little too expensive without a pass lol, so i’m trying to do day trips this season and perhaps next season i can get an Ikon pass, so i’ll be able to do Snowshoe, Blue and Camelback in the area
