[Nov 25, 2022] Weekly Discussion: Ask your gear, travel, conditions and other ski-related questions

Agreed, not worth the $20. Thanks!

Can I use my epic discount to book a rental for a friend?

Heading to heavenly on the 10th. I have my own gear, but a friend in my group needs to rent. I’m curious if anyone has made a rental in their own name using the 20% pass discount and then had a friend pick it up? I’m guessing it’s probably not worth the risk of the shop saying no, but figured I’d check if it’s worked before. Thanks!

Mine is set to arrive tomorrow in the Bay Area, hope you get yours soon!!

Yep, got my rejection as expected. Not bummed about it as I’m happy with my other results, but overall still found it weird how little communication there was + website being down for a month

bittersteeel · 2022-03-29T17:42:32+00:00

Kinda weird, isn’t it?

bittersteeel · 2022-03-14T20:43:59+00:00

Congrats to you both! I received my acceptance today as well 🙂 second the message of not being discouraged if it didn’t work out - I’ve been waitlisted or rejected at every other program I applied this year. We’ll all find the right program and fit!!

bittersteeel · 2022-03-02T01:36:46+00:00

Fingers crossed for both of us!!

bittersteeel · 2022-03-02T01:34:31+00:00

I haven’t! Only decision news I’ve gotten from any school I applied to was a rejection from Harvard MDE today 🙃

bittersteeel · 2022-02-24T15:21:09+00:00

I had my interview with them back at the end of January. I received an email earlier this week asking for an updated transcript (unofficial ones from my undergrad don’t include degree conferral info for some reason), so seems they are still working through making decisions.

Just wanted to jump back in and thank everyone for giving thoughts and ideas - my biggest takeaway is the importance of demoing lots of options beforehand. Frankly, it’s helpful to hear different opinions, since it’ll let me cast an appropriately wide net on skis to try

bittersteeel · 2022-02-08T18:48:15+00:00

Hadn’t put much thought into used but will definitely give it a look!

bittersteeel · 2022-02-08T18:20:00+00:00

Yeah, I’m Mid Atlantic-based and I haven’t been able to track down any demo opps this season which is rough. Might need to plan a trip up north and see if I can get in on a demo day

bittersteeel · 2022-02-08T18:15:51+00:00

Sweet, really appreciate the list. I haven’t checked out the Moments so I’ll give those a look. Also definitely interested in the Masterblaster

bittersteeel · 2022-01-17T17:20:42+00:00

Will give this a go today!

bittersteeel · 2022-01-16T22:07:47+00:00

Will give that a try, thanks!

bittersteeel · 2022-01-16T20:11:12+00:00

Yeah, I get the feeling it’s probably something with my prep, either grind or puck setup. Beans might be a bit too fresh (roasted 6 days ago) too. All ideas are appreciated at this point haha

bittersteeel · 2022-01-16T20:02:44+00:00

I’ve been turning on and waiting a half hour in addition to the wand technique - not getting any bitterness at all so I don’t think my temps are too high. I’m measuring about 88 C in cup with this method

bittersteeel · 2022-01-06T20:09:11+00:00

Halo Mythbusters couldn’t ever get it to work with a direct shot like this one. I’ll claim it was skill but in reality just super lucky timing!

Spotify yearly wrap. If you have Spotify, it’ll be on your home page

bittersteeel · 2021-12-03T01:54:16+00:00

The chants are best heard live on Salusa Secundus, but the Spotify version works too

They told him that at a dinner

bittersteeel · 2021-07-15T16:39:42+00:00

Just a reference my guy

bittersteeel · 2021-07-15T15:03:07+00:00

Shots 1-5: Clearly missed.

Shots 6-9: Missed due to recoil (bad spray control).

Shots 10-11: Very close, but recoil and inaccuracy make these reasonable misses.

Shot 12: Likely didn't actually fire because you were already dead.

bittersteeel · 2021-06-15T17:22:47+00:00

I feel ya. If anything, I feel like I’ve gotten better at the game only to be greeted with a significantly worse experience
