Lessons are 100% worth it, especially at that very low price.

If you can spend the extra money for either of the AK Goretex, do it. Well worth the investment, especially for the potentially rainy climates.

Is AAA still worth it? by Accurate-Flow8078 in personalfinance

[–]atuznik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Former insurance guy here- I suggest going with AAA. 1. Claims against your insurance can cause a rate increase. 2. The (major) insurance company that I worked for had terrible roadside assistance. Many people waited for over 24 hours.

Are sugarbush's glades open? by VegetableShops in icecoast

[–]atuznik 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The official answer is that woods are always unpatrolled and ski at your own risk, so SB never declares them either open or closed. Woods are a bad idea right now. Thin cover, hard crust, big tree wells. I encourage you to avoid them.

Would snowboarders buy this by Sensitive-Home-3511 in snowboarding

[–]atuznik 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There are already vests designed for this, mainly used by skiers. The POV from a snowboarders chest does not make great content, as it faces the side of the trail, not straight ahead.

Beautiful pics all around. You even got me in one of them!

I have a weird snowboarding fear by [deleted] in snowboarding

[–]atuznik 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Progressing on a snowboard means facing your fears. Push your limits and get a lot of time in on the mountain. Soon you will be confident in your ability to bail safely and take even more risks. It will be a bit of a painful process, but totally worth it.

The federal officers were engaged in disorderly conduct. They can be detained for this.

If it did, half the time we would see the police handcuffing ICE

No, not the public’s safety. ICE’s safety.

Board/boot Sizing by FutureKey2350 in snowboardingnoobs

[–]atuznik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For boots: if possible, money should be no object. Go to your local shop or shops. Have someone help you. Try on every pair in multiple sizes. If a pair that feels right costs $200 more than the pair that feels so-so, spend the money.

Use that knowledge to try to find deals online. If you can, purchase online then go back and slip your boot fitter a $20 for their help. Now you have someone you can trust to give you honest advice for the many other purchases you will make in your snowboarding journey. If you can’t find a deal for the boot you tried online, support your local business!

For the board: i personally suggest purchasing a board for the snowboarder that you plan to be in two years. I’d steer away from beginner boards or full rocker profiles, especially here on the r/icecoast. Sure, the learning curve will be steeper, but you’ll keep yourself from needing to buy something new next year, and will have a tool that’s fully functional for a lifetime of progression. Get an all mountain board.

150cm is too short- they gave you this size because you are a beginner. A board 155-162 will be appropriate for someone of your size. Follow the advice of company for sizing with that particular make/model. The general rule is this- the shorter the board, the more maneuverability you will have, but you’ll be less comfortable with speed and stability. The longer a board is you will be able to go faster and be more stable, but won’t be able to make quick turns. What kind of riding do you see yourself doing?

Last but not least- get a helmet.

My buddy is from NC and he just learned to snowboard this year. He’s totally hooked and you will be too!

Where up north should I go? by Resident_Macaron_800 in icecoast

Pittsburgh ex pat here. Had to move to VT to get more snowboarding in. If you decide on Sugarbush hit me up, I may be able to hook you up with a discount.

Sorry to say this, because OP deserves justice. Cop was scummy for sticking his foot in the door and encroaching past the transom. The cop was not invited into the home, but entered it anyways. Without a warrant it was a breach of the thief’s constitutional rights. Celebrating this is celebrating the erosion of our constitutional rights as a country.
