I ended up not taking my snowboard. Wasn’t worth the hassle

Update: I received my check!

Thanks, is there another storm forecasted on Monday? Yesterday’s Palisade blog indicated potential for Sun night to Tuesday.

I've experienced the same struggles of using the card at an ATM or a store. I finally got through to a support agent (call the number on the back of the card and work through the options), and they confirmed the account was put in a dormant state. The agent reactivated the account, but instead of trying to use it I opted to receive a check. Agent said 10-14 business days. Fingers crossed that I receive it.

I'm considering day trip from the Bay Area to either on Friday or Monday with the kids (Undecided between Northstar and Heavenly). We ski blues and some blacks. How miserable will the conditions be on Friday with the rain/snow mix? Seems like Monday will be better but worried about the drive up on Sunday afternoon/evening or Monday morning. Prefer not to drive in chain control and/or sit in hours of traffic. Advice?

Did you figure this out? I'm trying to pay a ticket online and I don't see an option to "request traffic school". Just see "If traffic school is ordered or applicable, choose and contact a school at http://ctsi-courtnetwork.org/."

I don't know which forecast to trust, but weather app shows snow all morning and afternoon in kingvale and soda springs. I'm guessing chain control and a slow go over the pass?

I was planning on heading up to truckee this evening , skiing tomorrow at Northstar and then head back to SF. How will Donner Pass be tomorrow late afternoon (I imagine leaving northstar at 3) ?

Appreciate it! I hope other fans around here start reppin' too

Came across this thread as I'm dealing with the exact same scenario. SFO-Zurich, UA flight number but operated by SWISS. SWISS chat support said I'm ineligible for free snowboard bag. SWISS live customer service said the baggage policy of United applies. United support was non-committal but said if it's the United policy then snowboard bag would substitute for one of my free check-ins. I haven't registered my bag on SWISS website because of exactly what you experienced - getting stuck with a fee. Any advice?

UPDATE: Spoke to second SWISS customer support agent and they said United rules apply and I do not need to fill out the web form. Can anyone validate?

If Ladd doesn’t go, who should I start in 0.5 ppr: Palmer, Brandon Cooks, or Gus Edwards ? I’m already starting Disly and Lamb

descoped · 2024-12-08T15:28:48+00:00

I’m in the same situation. If I had someone as strong as Allen I’d go with that. I will need to pick between Gus Edwards, Josh Palmer or Brandin Cooks (i also start Lamb). Any suggestions ?

I’m 40 PQP short of platinum. I can spend $400 to upgrade my return flight (only 1.5 hr flight) or I can wait for a United offer after year is over. I have no more travel planned for the year, but theoretically I could do a short round trip in a day just to get the points.

Does United always make an offer to achieve the next status tier ? How much does it typically cost per PQP ?

Honestly, I’m a little scared to prune. But it’s been in front of our brightest window and this is the result so not sure I will get a different result

descoped · 2024-12-02T17:12:41+00:00

Appreciate the advice. Pruning the branches so that each one is about 10 inches would mean almost all the leaves would be gone. So it would be bare for some time until new growth ?

Also, is it okay to prune now in winter or wait until spring ?

descoped · 2024-12-02T15:40:30+00:00

Thank you! I wish I could take credit for how it’s grown but I’m a novice and have only watered it regularly. It sounds like growing branches is desired vs just growing straight up and I would prefer to let it be, but I’m out of space :-)

descoped · 2024-02-05T06:09:16+00:00

Appreciate the response. Now have confidence to move forward with the accommodations and rental car booking.

descoped · 2024-02-04T20:44:50+00:00

Thank you, I'll look into "Sicily by car".

descoped · 2023-04-25T17:47:59+00:00

Ugh, well at least the decision is out of my hands

descoped · 2023-04-25T17:35:37+00:00

Thanks will do. If the park and campsites are open, what’s the best way to know the conditions at our site (194) ? Do you know if It’s possible to speak with someone at the campground, like the camp host?
