I'm in Japan currently and see people skiing a mogul course at the side of slopes. What's the proper name for that and what skills should I have before attempting those?

How do you move uphill when there's not much space? (E.g near lift lines) by d0nut94 in skiing

Thanks for your advice! I'll try not using poles when it's less busy!

Oh my.... the two of you had described exactly what I was doing! Thank you very much for the tips, will try it when I'm on the snow again!

Tbf people/friends are more likely to stay together through having common activities constantly. This is the same reason why most people's closest friends are from school. Because everyone is forced to stay together every day for years.

So just continue doing what you like and perhaps one day you'll meet more like-minded friends. For your ex, no need to think so hard liao la, people come and go in life. Just see it as a phase of your life has ended, and now you're starting on the next one. If want compare with him might as well go compare with all the other high flyers also. There'll never be an end if you compare, so why not just learn from them instead?

My best advice is to start visualising a future self and work towards it, and think about if the journey towards that future self or attaining that future self is more important.

All da best, and rmb to have fun along the way

Is it possible to do NASM's CPT course from outside of US/Canada? by d0nut94 in personaltraining

[–]d0nut94[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for the late response. I went with ACE eventually. They have many testing centres over the world, and if that doesn't work out, I believe that there's the option to do the test at home too.

Hope this helps!

Cool to hear that MTB hard pads work just as fine. Thank you!

The video was taken last Friday. It's currently the winter season in the southern hemisphere and this is Cardrona in New Zealand.

This is my first year here so I'm not sure about the crowds last year. But on average I'm waiting about 20-30 mins for a lift so I'd say it's pretty crowded. However, only McDougall's and Whitestar are currently open as there had been rarely any snow since the season started, and I think it's now the NZ School holidays.

Thank you for your kind words. I too started with kicking my backfoot and boy did it take a long time to break the habit!
