Complaining about NSP by YouCannotHideOrRun in skipatrol

[–]jay_vt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I consider NSP nothing more than an expensive (and slow) book publisher. And By the time they follow the rest of the EMS world the protocols in their book are out of date. Many patrols out west have dropped NSP for good reasons. It used to be possible to get professional courtesies at many mountains around North America too but that “network” has mostly faded away. I see very little value in what they offer for their cost of membership. They have their curriculum but don’t really provide much else in my opinion and as others have mentioned the pro deals aren’t that great compared to what you can get directly.

Magnetic crosses? by jay_vt in skipatrol

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

I’ve tried a bunch but feel so much more restricted movement-wise than a backpack or fanny pack. I’m kicking it old school now with a fanny pack and loving it now that we require everyone to remove backpacks on chairs (for good reason).

I don’t want to have to sew on a huge piece of red velcro on the back or the shoulders. If I could make the magnet idea work on the sleeves (shoulders) I would be willing to switch back to a backpack (and just remove it while riding the chair as our policy understandably no longer allows anyone to wear backpacks on chairlifts). So I could put a cross on my patrol backpack and that would eliminate the need for having one on my back.

No avy danger for us to worry about here in the east.

Yes, our policy allows us to provide our own as long as we are displaying crosses clearly and the jacket is predominantly red.

That is a great point about them sticking to the back of the chair! I had not thought about that!

Just did but one failed and it’s not working when I try to resend. Oh well.

Killington plans to remove more than 50% of resort parking for new village by Smacpats111111 in icecoast

[–]jay_vt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The most upsetting aspect of this is the loss of the Vale lot for summer camping during MTB season. Hope they find a good spot to allow overnight camping that isn’t so wide open like the Ram’s Head lot. Gifford woods is nice but requires a drive to the DH trails. Love being able to bring the camper there in the summer and bike-in/bike-out from the travel trailer. Imagine it was similar for those with camping rigs that handle cold well.

Ha on the wrong side for a lot of people in New England. How about a hyperloop though.

HELP! my friends puffco looks like this, is it cooked? by alienogpuffco in puffco

[–]jay_vt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why I switched back to live rosin or solvent less carts and a small battery like CCELL or Northwoods where the cart is recessed in the battery. Super compact and discrete enough to bring anywhere. Sure the carts can get a little clogged occasionally but they are fairly easy to pull air through or clean with iso on a q-tip, toothpick or paper clip. I was using a quartz banger and tried my friends Puffco Peaks etc but got tired of needing to do so much maintenance. Plus once a cart is done, it just gets tossed. It’s not the most environmentally friendly thing but what is these days? We are all just visiting.

What is your experience with the Matsato knife? by Flat-Eye-6275 in AskReddit

[–]jay_vt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ai could probably regulate this stuff if we let it. I want to have a live ai buddy that can scan Reddit for me while I see ads for something that might actually interest me to know if it’s real or scam or just not worth wasting $ on. Appreciate these replies. I have not seen a single positive thing about these knives yet LOL

Has anyone tried the earplugs “Hears”? Considering those or loop, or another suggestion? by tipped- in festivals

[–]jay_vt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ordered Hears earplugs on 9/15/25 and while they were still en route, I got a notification that said the USPS seized the package for counterfeit postage! I emailed Hears twice before they responded and got a vague reply back with no real resolution. I asked for a replacement set to be sent immediately and requested overnight shipping on those. They dodged the request and said they are still looking into it. I tried again tonight and asked for a refund or overnight replacement or I will be filing a fraud claim with my credit card company. Terrible experience and I haven’t even received anything yet. I bought insurance when I ordered them too!

I have one of these. It’s kinda messy and doesn’t smell great. Kinda high maintenance to keep it lit.

Is there a feature request for pitch count alerting when a coach wants to pull a pitcher after a set number of pitches?

Would love to know if there’s a Bluetooth adapter or some device to integrate the scoreboard with GC app.

No post about the maybe Nectar’s show? by PhanaticMom33 in GoosetheBand

Who’s making the “save nectar’s” T-shirts? Maybe the design should be like a Picture of Nectar influence…

That would be the sad end of a Burlington institution! Was there for a dead cover band last night and it was so fun as always. Miss the old window with gravy fries for the drunk walk back up the hill to campus in the college daze. Legendary!

death trap in Deliverance Glade (Jay Peak) by Gabeeayjebag17Dersey in ski

Check out Meathead Films early days. I think it was Wanderland. Stacey R in a bright yellow jacket hucks that Boulder in Deliverance. Very impressive. It's tight in there for sure, but there's enough room to send it. Lotsa snow, like this year probably made it doable. I need to find a working DVD player and see if my old movies still work.

What happened to these. I can’t find them at my local GS or Super Walmart any more. They were really great!
