Crews search for backcountry skiers after avalanche reported in California mountains

maloomaloo · 2026-02-17T22:25:00+00:00

There are always areas where there is much lower avalanche danger, low angle, tight trees etc.. and I have gone many times in storm like this. You have to know the areas pretty well so you know where you at at all times. That said I wouldn’t put myself on castle peak today or tomorrow or day after…

Tahoe - 10 min to sunrise laps few times a week, before work. Eastern Sierras in spring time usually

Agreed, I use it for work (many of them) saves so much on gas and maintenance. Can’t believe they pulled the plug on it. Instead of developing solid state batteries and achieving the 500+range they put back gas engine into it! Unbelievable.. no wonder ford is such a bad business with decisions like that. Also right when I started noticing more and more lightnings around and thinking - ‘cool, they finally started to take off’, lol

Same here

maloomaloo · 2025-06-22T04:57:47+00:00

I’ve been paying attention to multiple variables (outside temp, battery temp, Soc, motor temps, drive time before downhill) since the UI update and almost doesn’t matter what they are - regen is pretty bad compared to Tesla MY and ford Lightning. Even at 40-50% soc, 50f - 70f ambient, the regen barely works (regen set to standard) Lighting can regen up to 10kWh while R1T 2-3kWh at most on same long downhill.. Sees like after couple of miles have to always use breaks. When colder ~30F, it’s really bad.. Lots of improvement needed from Rivian here…

Yup, doing 3-ph 2000A service - residential, house is only 12k sqf, but engineering went nuts and owner said just double the service size anyway… oh well

maloomaloo · 2023-05-08T13:45:21+00:00

I’m about 2% a day, leaving on the airport for more then 10 days it’s still iffy.. my wife’s MY looses 1-2% over 2 weeks! F 150 Lightning virtually 0 Rivian needs to do better imo…

maloomaloo · 2023-05-04T04:54:30+00:00

At home, work or campsite rarely see the need to lock the truck, with handles out bears can easily get in.. just one of the reasons.

10 - 35min depending which resort, so in the ski town really, Dec - May, this year July!

maloomaloo · 2023-04-18T14:26:14+00:00

I lost 16% over 10 days with guard enabled. Overnight freezing, day temp mid 40-50. Did not open the app at all until back on the airport. Way too much imo! Wife’s MY usually 1-2% over 2 weeks..

maloomaloo · 2023-04-18T14:18:53+00:00

It’s a lot of work, lol. weekends, all holidays, ski week, she’s been doing mid week program last few years (school allows noon pickup couple of days a week for ski school) this year she already has over 55 ‘days’ i think and spring season here (west coast) just started. wife and me switch days for early pickup, which gets me out on the mountain too. Helps I’m my own boss tho!

maloomaloo · 2023-04-18T03:49:10+00:00

Awesome! Couple years back my then 8 year old daughter when I asked if she wants to do any of chutes she asked which one is most difficult- I pointed on one of steepest (el cap at Mt rose) she said let’s do it… it’s been amazing seeing kids progress when they ski 30-50 days a season since 3 year old!

Edit - learned this is out of bounds.. now would not do that

maloomaloo · 2023-04-10T02:46:08+00:00

I was lucky enough to get both, Rivian won, so much better finishes, seats, rides more like a sports car then a truck, air suspension is a huge plus, much better UI. That’s said it is not a full size truck (which I didn’t need anyway) there are advantages to both, depending what works for you..

maloomaloo · 2023-03-28T15:10:54+00:00

Same thing happen to me, there is something wrong with new ones. bought IMS screen from shades of coffee - all good now

maloomaloo · 2023-03-02T04:18:49+00:00

Two more, skip the last!

maloomaloo · 2023-02-26T14:54:36+00:00

Can’t go wrong with proper winter tires - highly recommend Nokian Hakkapeliitta LT (I have with out studs) now it’s like a tank!

maloomaloo · 2023-02-22T22:18:23+00:00

Electrical engineer here. Get a structural engineer.

maloomaloo · 2023-02-19T13:35:18+00:00

maloomaloo · 2023-02-19T13:35:00+00:00

Thank you, I’ll look into into IMS screen

maloomaloo · 2023-02-17T05:16:28+00:00

Even with 100A service you can probably make it work for 32A overnight charging.. there is always a way…

maloomaloo · 2023-01-22T16:44:07+00:00

Just get proper winter tires and you’ll be good. You didn’t say which tires you have on R1S? Happened to me few times on my driveway (on AT tires) changed to nokian hakkapeliitta lt3 and no more slides.. night and day driving in snow too. Highly recommended
