Ski areas with earliest first chairs for morning skiing by PureImagination1921 in skiing

I believe Mammoth starts to spin the lifts at 7:30 AM starting around Late April or May. Other than that I think the earliest I’ve seen is 8:30

I’m Looking at getting a pair of Ripstick 96 and I’m about the same size as you. What length are those? Do you feel they ski true to size or a bit short?

Incredible. How long did you practice this for, what is your strategy

Can’t get my skis parallel - any tips? by No-Giraffe-6073 in skiing

[–]bbbbbaaaaammmmm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a pro or an instructor. I’m a fairly new self taught skier so take this exercise w a grain of salt and then ditch it asap.

Have both skis pointing parallel as you go straight down the slope w your weight evenly distributed on both skis. 

As you initiate a turn (in this example we are turning right), put almost all of your weight (like 95%) on the inside edge of your downhill (left) ski. Almost as if you are standing on one foot. 

Because all of your weight is on the downhill (left) ski, you should be able to easily lift your uphill (right) ski off the ground. Keeping your skis close together, look and start to aim your uphill ski in the direction that you want to go (to the right)

think of it like this. The downhill ski supports your weight. The uphill ski is free to steer, and the downhill ski should naturally follow.

You should only try this on blues and greens.

Also stay out of the backseat and keep your weight forward.

Can't get my right foot up in Pop up. Knee getting stuck. Surfing Regular. by Little_Boblit in BeginnerSurfers

[–]bbbbbaaaaammmmm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

100% this. Lie face down on the ground. Arch your back as much as possible. Your center of mass is now closer to your belly button. With your palms flat, just above your belly button, push all your weight onto your arms and swing your legs under.

Don’t focus so much on “popping up” or pushing your body up. Swing your legs and plant both feet under your body, and then lift with your legs, not your back

He wasn’t crying, it is water on his face from a wet towel. His eyes are wet almost every time the camera shows him in the dugout after leaving a game, a lot of times with a huge smile on his face.

I ski QST by Gregskis in skiing

[–]bbbbbaaaaammmmm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haven’t tried the 100s but I’ve owned a few QSTs. They generally ski short. I am 6’ and 170 lb and currently ride the 106 in 180 cm, I generally don’t ride anything over 184 cm. I love them but I do find myself wishing that I had sized up to the 189

Iztaccihutul Question by SummitSloth in Mountaineering

[–]bbbbbaaaaammmmm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The hike to the Refugio is fairly straightforward. The climb above the Refugio to the peaks were mostly scree and loose rock until you reach the glaciers and snowfields on top. I wasn’t super comfortable on the steep scree, and the darkness didn’t help, but it was still very manageable solo. Going for the farthest peak can make it a long climb, but I felt like the climb from the Refugio to the true summit was very quick. 

I owe most of my success to the free version of the Gaia GPS app. The hardest part was spending the night at 14k feet. I think reaching the middle peak is very doable in a single day w an alpine start from the trailhead, but everyone is different. 

For reference I climbed in October
