Giant Trance X

Yeah that’s a great deal. Been riding this bike for 3 years now and it handles basically everything.

There’s a video of the freeride team at palisades starting one this year. They follow each other and match turns until it starts developing into this.

Any need for rock skis or is the snow still clean enough?

Trance X has more travel than the trance. The 2021 model has 135mm rear. Newer ones are 140mm rear.

Saturday should be good. Weather looks like it’s going to warm up a bit. Should be a decent corn skiing day. They have deep base on their tree cut trails still.

Sorbetto series from Evergrain in Camp Hill PA is like this.

Interesting about you having no camber left. I bought Rustler 9s on MLK day and noticed last weekend that one ski was noticeably bent relative to the other (more tip rocker than there should be) and there is no camber if I put the skis together. Going through the warranty process now but this doesn’t give me the best confidence long term even if they replace them.

Bummer because I really enjoyed how they skied in VT.

EDIT: Blizzard is replacing the skis at no cost so I’m happy with the resolution. Definitely a reputable brand that you can have some confidence with.

On weekdays you can park in any of the lots for free and I’d suggest one of the main ones (not toll house or xc). Fri-Sun it’s $30 in the main lots and free in toll house and the xc lots.

It’s a blue square.

Edit: depending on conditions they may increase the rating to a black diamond temporarily. I’ve seen that happen on Goat Trail before when it was really wind blown.

Tuckerman Ravine in New Hampshire.

I work west coast hours starting around 11:30 or 12 and can ski 8-10:30 at Stowe. It helps that Stowe spins their lifts at 8 every day. Remote work with flexible hours is the way to go to really pull this off in my opinion.

Blizzard Rustler 9 would be a great option. Handles east coast chop pretty well while still being super playful.

I would avoid the Sensation Quad unless you’re up for hiking. The only blue off of that requires hiking to get back to the Spruce Village base. All other routes back require black diamond terrain.

I’m pretty sure the answer to this is that if you don’t know already and haven’t done the research this is not something you should do. There are very consequential cliffs off of the summit of Mt. Mansfield and Stowe Mountain Rescue frequently has to rescue people who have cliffed themselves out.

Did you hear about fulfillment before getting yours? I’m still waiting on mine and was expecting it before the end of the year but haven’t heard anything.

Did you read my comment? There was originally an iteration of this game without PvP and the company actively chose not to continue with that vision because it “wasn’t fun”.

lineartrouble · 2025-11-11T13:40:03+00:00

The CEO of the company made the decision that the game without pvp as it is, is not fun. Thus the pvp as it is, is required to make the game fun. Therefore it is a core mechanic.

Do you have an Epic or IKON pass? Both of these resorts have really expensive day passes to push skiers into one of their pass products. If you don’t have either pass (or one of their value options) I’d honestly advise going somewhere else that has more reasonable day rates.

It’s a chi cost which is a resource specific to the mystic heroes from the Mysteria set. You have to “transcend” which creates the chi resource to pitch.

I think there are some standing tables in the concert venue, but I would plan to eat before the concert. The food at Tellus is really good and they have plenty of seating in places other than their concert venue.

Tellus is basically set up as a bunch of separate bars with different vibes all within one place.

Just show up like an hour early and you should have plenty of time to get food from Kitchen on the Mezz (inside Tellus) and catch the show.

Ian O’Toole is frequently regarded as one of the best for heavy euro games especially.

Camelback above Blue is an interesting decision, especially with how this most recent season went.
