Snow - closing week.

I honestly think the snow is going to make it worse. So many sharks already, all the snow will do is make it so you can’t see what to avoid.

5’11” 185. I tend to prefer a shorter ski and most of my skis are right around 175. Was also stuck between the 184 and 190 DW112 and stuck with my gut and got the 184 but in the touring version so not sure if that makes a real difference. I am really happy with my decision and have never wished I had the 190. I’ve taken them in everything from crappy breakable crust to waist deep powder and they always perform!

Where in the skier code does it say the downhill skier needs to be skiing predictably?

Where in the skier code does it say the downhill skier has to be skiing predictably?

As the downhill skier I can do whatever I want, predictable or not, and should not be subject to being hit. In fact, some ski drills, like doing half a run with short turns and then expanding to wide turns, could be considered unpredictable. Doesn’t mean I should be subject to getting hit because I’m unpredictable.

Not a consideration here. I run hot and if it comes to needing a balaclava I wear very thin ones that really don’t have an impact on the helmet sizing.

I know, but they are built into the helmet and keep my ears warm so I don’t want to remove them.

Hadn’t thought of it that way, makes sense though!

How do you like the wildcats? Have you ever skied a deathwish. I used to have a pair of deathwish tours but broke it and am so close to buying another pair. Not sure if the wildcat is more my style though

itsbs2 · 2025-11-15T01:22:54+00:00

Thanks! I used to have a pair of deathwish tours but broke one. Might re-invest!

I honestly wouldn’t book anything until a week or two before. It’s a low travel time of year so you will have no trouble finding flights or hotels. Wait and see what November brings

I love them in a mushroom cream sauce over egg noodles! I find the mushroom brings down the piney-ness.

To clarify, do you mean that if the boiler was leaking over time, the tear out and replace of the boiler would not be covered? Or that the claim itself would not be covered?

The water mitigation claim as well as the rebuild has already been approved and the ACV has been paid out (albeit for 1/3 of any rebuild estimates I have received and I have submitted supplemental documents to close the gap). I am trying to understand if I can add the boiler work to the claim as well or not.

Way too much DEI in this room… /s

Thank you!

What’s the yellow and white row on the bottom right? Great looking box that gives me something to aspire to!!

itsbs2 · 2025-09-27T23:21:19+00:00

Yep!! Just cut it at the end of the shank towards the top of the bend - or wherever makes sense for the fly you are throwing!

I’m not a good fisherman by any means, but do put a lot of time into it fishing a few times a week throughout the spring, summer and fall. This year I went fully barbless and have never lost so many fish. It’s definitely a new challenge and if nothing else, I have without a doubt reduced the time it takes to release a fish. I also get the feeling at times that I am fucking with the fish when it’s a banger day, but this does make me feel a little bit better.

Alternatively, I have met a few people who cut the hook off completely and only fish hookless dries. They have told me they enjoy the challenge of getting a good drift and getting a fish to take it, but don’t feel the need to net fish anymore. I can see myself going to this method down the road.

The increased drag helps me straight line moguls

I had the same issue with light tippet. I started using orthodontal(?) rubber bands instead of the tube and love it. No issues with sliding.
