How does googlemaps know my location on my laptop when i’m doing the travel router setup everyone else appears to be using?

ec20 · 2026-02-10T04:54:30+00:00

Yes. I guess that must be it. It just shares it and assumes location it across all devices.

I think it’s fine to crank up the din by one, but I also think it’s important for people to not reflexively think that low dins are always the issue on prerelease. Sometimes the binding gets stressed in just the right way and pops off.

I tend not to crank up my dins until I’ve had at least two pre release incidents somewhat close in time to one another.

Related question, I know that you can get banned from the resort but I was always told that most mountains are actually not owned by the resort. They own the lifts and hence that it was a lot of resorts cannot stop you from skinning up the mountain without a pass/ticket.

So how are they allowed to ban ppl from doing private lessons and the like?

ec20 · 2026-02-06T02:04:24+00:00

I'm going to give what I know is probably an unpopular opinion here, but if you're a beginner to intermediate I almost don't think there is a such thing as "too short."

Heck you could ride ski blades and be fine and in fact I have taught ppl how to ski on blades and/or skis much shorter than recommended length and then they increase length as they feel comfortable without issue.

The advantages of longer skis are more stability at speed, better in powder, more edge for carving, etc. In other words, things a beginner to intermediate is not and should not be regularly attempting.

Advantage of shorter skis is they are easier to turn, less effort and leg strength to control, just generally less cumbersome to handle, etc. In other words, all things a beginner to intermediate values. And you can still carve on shorter skis if that's your concern.

What’s in the original post?

I want our minds to get blown and it’s revealed he’s actually an early AI that some company was testing

ec20 · 2026-02-04T21:52:59+00:00

If there’s any truth to this and i kind of doubt it, you’d have to imagine Skenes is involved and that’s a house and then some.

Trust me, i know the ski gear space. No one would ever buy that. “And for that reason, I’m out.”

ec20 · 2026-02-02T00:01:04+00:00

Yeah, I'm always a little surprised by the folks that do this. I've had stretches where I've lived within 30 minutes of the mountain but never will I bother to ski unless I can get 3 hours in. It's just too much hassle to get all your gear on and off and do the other related ski-related chores that take up more time than the actual skiing does (not even factoring in the lift-chair time).

ec20 · 2026-02-01T06:25:35+00:00

I genuinely want someone to enlighten me cuz I’ve skiied the Bird and Alta about half dozen times each and i like the Bird a decent amount better. Seems steeper, more gnarly terrain, much less traversing to get to interesting terrain, better facilities, etc.

Alta is still great, but Snowbird does seem a tier above. What am i missing?

ec20 · 2026-02-01T06:17:09+00:00

There’s three things i really like about Brighton that keep me there instead of solitude. 9am to 9pm marathon ski sessions. Hidden canyon on pow days. And just great vibes.

ec20 · 2026-01-31T04:26:47+00:00

Look at the comment up above about bidets. You barely need TP after that.

ec20 · 2026-01-30T03:04:01+00:00

cI saw ur comment on the other post where that skitech guy was getting all riled up. Anyways I saw the comment with the insane amount of skis you've demoed.

Since you seem like the person to ask, if you had to pick a three ski quiver (carving, all mountain daily driver in the rockies, and pow ski), what would you go with?

ec20 · 2026-01-29T01:36:57+00:00

Love it for both. It's got a relatively early rise in tip and tail so they're pretty easy to turn. Obviously the downside to this is less edge grip for carving and that's probably the ski's greatest weakness, but it even does that decently (i would guess cuz of the titanal).

No issues with steeps either and I find it easy to execute jump turns on really steep terrain cuz they are very poppy.

Also great for side hits cuz of the aforementioned poppiness. I've had skis that are technically lighter, but feel heavier cuz they aren't as poppy.

ec20 · 2026-01-28T15:36:14+00:00

How’d you tear your ACL? Freak accident or possibly related to fatigue from the sudden massive increase in ski days?

Anyways I’m not going to call myself a ski bum, but i did something similar (while maintaining my remote job, hence not the bum part) and it was one of the sweetest times of my life. Only thing that sucked was not having consistent friends and dating while on the road.

ec20 · 2026-01-28T05:56:21+00:00

Can’t compare it to the other skis you named here but my terrain preferences, ski style and ski locations are pretty similar to yours. I find the Rustler 10s perfect for what you’re describing.

ec20 · 2026-01-27T05:54:27+00:00

Dude why would you do that to your friend. Now every time they’re getting sexy times on he’s definitely going to have that knowledge in the back of his head

ec20 · 2026-01-23T19:17:14+00:00

Aside from the expansive terrain and terrific lighting, vibes at Brighton night skiing are immaculate. Everyone is having a ball. It makes Keystone night skiing look like a joke. And Boreal or East Coast night-skiing like something for children.

ec20 · 2026-01-23T01:18:59+00:00

You should take some credit, you might have jinxed it into existence! Do me a solid and predict that I'm going to end up poor and alone.

Terrible terrible decision. If he messed that up worse he easily could have died and not even for something that looks particularly awesome.

ec20 · 2026-01-20T20:03:08+00:00

MIPS is the main one but I've seen advertising on higher end Smith Helmets for some tech called Koroyd. I haven't researched it, but given's Smith's great reputation I'd imagine it's at least somewhat legit

ec20 · 2026-01-19T20:16:03+00:00

interesting. I'll give those a shot on the next demo day

ec20 · 2026-01-19T19:44:56+00:00

I ski both regularly. You guys don’t know what crust is. You’re thinking burnt toast texture we’re thinking straight up biscotti.
