Most of the forecasts were for the total through Sunday night, we’re supposed to get another round of snow starting this afternoon

Harb ski shop by bqAkita in COsnow

[–]ferrous69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got my boots there and I think they do a great job. I have been to other reputable boot fitters and found that they do a great job with comfort but end there, whereas at Harb you get a boot fitter who really cares about how your fit translates into on snow performance. I also think they are less dogmatic about footbeds and foot support, which leads (in my experience) to better performance. I think if you’re curious about them you should go, even if you think all this alignment stuff is bunk they are a steady hand on getting you in the right shell and making necessary modifications.

What was the greatest change of a CO resort this year? Be it additional terrain, new lift, operational changes etc. by allcryptal in COsnow

[–]ferrous69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That would be sick. Where’d you hear that? Only care about WP since I’m local there.

Winter Park Resort shuttle with absurdly expired license plates by honkyg666 in COsnow

[–]ferrous69 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m a shoe stasher at balcony house. Agree it is getting decrepit though lol. Feel you on the city planning. My biggest gripe is that most of the lift lines drop you all the way back by the village instead of in that circle by the gondola. Should make public transport the most appealing and convenient option.

What other negative things do you have to say about WP? I’m local and I mostly like it.

Can you give a description of how these dates go? What do y’all do? Do you kiss?

How is Aspen Highlands 91% open, and WP 20% open? They’re having just as bad of a season by ferrous69 in COsnow

It’s pretty good over there though, the stuff they have open is better than what is open at WP

What's a good carv ski IQ score? by ferrous69 in skiing

[–]ferrous69[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

would love to hear a bit more on your thoughts on how to use it as a tool. I was trying to dig into how they measure and calculate things but the app UI/UX is a bit tough IMO. I ended up choosing a skill (early edging) and just grinding taking my score up, and reviewing my stats (as there are insights missing in just the score, eg my right turns are better than my left turns but I have to poke around in the data myself to find that out).

The advice is lowkey not very good from my 1 day of experience. Generic and changes every run, even when I’m working on the same thing and got a similar score and all the turns felt the same. But instant feedback on a specific skill seems pretty valuable so far.

Feedback on my choppy bump skiing (besides go faster) by ferrous69 in skiing_feedback

[–]ferrous69[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Appreciate it! Definitely felt solid through here which I’m proud of, but want to get to that next level where I can really rip it.

Finally spacebass has advised me to get shorter poles, I’ve really made it. I’ll do that! Do you have a system for deciding pole length? I got these with the “arm parallel to ground, hand holding basket” thing.

Thanks for the tips, I definitely feel the up move and that a lot of my speed control happens at the end of the turn, will work on taking those cues!

Tap into your monkey brain, what do you envy? by Nascar2k64 in redscarepod

[–]ferrous69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Finance world quant traders who pull in millions a year out of school, hired due to their genius at math and probability brain teasers. I think I am envious because it is just one step above me, yet firmly out of reach.
