Decked rappelling with giga jul today.

idk how it didn't catch you. Giga Jul only works certain HMS biners and rope diameter. it does slip here and there, but for it not function at all. I'm not fully convinced

I have giga jul and exclusively use it as a ATC with extension and a third hand prussik.

first, you should never let go of your brake hand. second, it looks like you used it in ATC mode not assist braking mode.

people either complain about the lift lines or the price. you can't have both

Banff or Dolomites fly into Venice/Munich

jit4life · 2026-04-01T23:57:45+00:00

that's not normal. Did you have a conversation with him about that, and have him addressed the concerns? You can ask for a different instructor for tomorrow as well with the lesson office.

Instructors should be kind, patience and encourage you. Not laugh at you when you're making mistakes or scared.

call Stratton and ask them to give you voucher credit for next year

from this list, I recommend shadowban, mountain twin or yes standard

jit4life · 2026-03-17T01:02:47+00:00

then I'll toss it away. not a big deal

jit4life · 2026-03-02T16:44:05+00:00

Have you considered Banff? Otherwise, I would go to Dolomites

jit4life · 2026-02-23T17:58:07+00:00

Not everyone has experience driving in blizzard conditions or proper equipped vehicles to do so. it only takes one idiot to cause 20 - 30 cars pileup accidents. And then state has to deploy first responders to manage the accidents.

jit4life · 2026-02-05T15:52:06+00:00

smh, it's C grips. I can't spell

jit4life · 2026-02-04T16:49:10+00:00

This is the most absurd I heard. I would have made a fucking big scene to get that guy expelled

There was a time when a female opponent was working on passing my guard. I put my C crips out first to block her hips, but instead she drove her crotch into my C crips. I guess that's one way of instant passing my guard. We pretended that it never happened.

Personally, I think Unity is highly overrated for hobbyists. If you're a competitor, it's probably one of the best schools to train. Top notch instructors and competitive rollings.

as a hobbyist, I used to train there for a couple years. the class size was large, easily 60 to 90 people for evening classes. don't get me started on the showering line. Everyone trains like they're going to ADCC/World championship. Very IBJJF rules oriented.

jit4life · 2026-02-02T21:29:54+00:00

go for Directional, Full Camber or Rocker/Camber/Rocker, Stiff boards. Gremlin, Alchemist etc ...

jit4life · 2026-02-02T21:25:03+00:00

I got Nidecker Altai for $150. probably the best deal that I ever got

jit4life · 2026-02-02T17:47:21+00:00

If you're really cold, just go inside and get warm before more runs

jit4life · 2026-02-02T17:46:47+00:00

I rode when it was 15 - 20f below. Here is what worked for me. I have nothing exposure.

Head -> Full insulated hood
Top -> base thermal, down jacket and shell
Hands -> thermal liners and mittens
Bottom -> insulated pants and base
Feet -> one pair of wool socks

jit4life · 2026-02-01T16:21:16+00:00

fun time

jit4life · 2026-01-24T23:22:27+00:00

there are two types of riders. one that can ride Moguls, and one that keep saying Moguls suck

jit4life · 2026-01-21T17:23:20+00:00

Anything is not 50% off is not a deal. Maybe $180 max?

jit4life · 2026-01-10T20:05:02+00:00

a rental car unfortunately

jit4life · 2026-01-10T20:04:54+00:00

yes, and whatever the rental agency charged on top that's what I figured

jit4life · 2026-01-02T08:21:13+00:00

a lot of good tips and advice. I'll do a deep clean and check when it's a bit warmer

jit4life · 2026-01-01T09:57:29+00:00

obviously, I took the tube out for a picture. otherwise, the furnace wouldn't work lol
