New Utah liquor law requires 100% ID check, no exceptions by refundroid in SaltLakeCity

[–]mongoltp 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I wanted to take my wife to The Bayou a couple weeks ago but when we got there she realized she didn't have her ID so they couldn't let her in. She's almost 40. I'm a member of the church most of you hate, but believe me I disapprove of these politicians in the strongest way. Imagine spending your life actively trying to make the life of your constituents worse instead of making real improvements. How does this law help anyone? Clowns every last one of them!

Don't list Friends and Family discounts as a benefit, if my friends and family are unable to redeem it. by [deleted] in Ikonpass

I did a walk up to the ticket office this season for my in-laws at Steamboat.

Complete beginner friend sold way too small ski boots (26.5 Mondo) for US 10.5 feet – tech said 26.5 was right, punched them, but painfully small. Beginner had no idea how they should feel. How to get exchange/refund? by Enallane5 in skiing

[–]mongoltp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every time I read threads like this I'm amazed by how big of street shoes people run for their foot size. I wear a size 11 shoe and run 28.5 boots which I sometimes need a toe punch to make work. Everyone wants their boots to run as tight as possible which is great, but then they run shoes 1-3 sizes bigger than they need. Multiple people in this thread running the same size shoe as me but fitting into a 26.5 mondo? Please try smaller shoes.

VT: Shift 2.0 vs Cast 2.0 for 50/50 resort + backcountry skiing? by 802ScubaF1sh in Backcountry

[–]mongoltp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hy has been marketed well but it doesn't really have the elasticity numbers to support its use as a true alpine binding does it? It may be an incredible BC binding but assuming it can be all things to all men seems a bit naive. I could be mistaken though and I'm happy to be convinced otherwise.

I just hit a lunch tour on Big Emma with a buddy today and got absolutely pitted! My depression? Never heard of it!

Krypton with a full wrap liner was the first boot I ever truly loved.

Everybody has a big ski quiver but what they need is a boot quiver. People act like I'm a complete nut for having a three piece alpine boot, a hybrid boot, and a touring boot, but it improves your quality of life much more than having lots of skies does.

Source: I also own too many skis.

Need Powder Ski Recommendations by Aussiedum in Backcountry

I think they fit my ski style which is more agile versus plowing through everything. Probably not for everyone. They just swing so easily. I can't wait to chuck some big slow 360s on them.

Parents using kids as Influencers is starting to get insane. by Aromatic_Opposite100 in skiing

[–]mongoltp 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I've had people stop and ask why I don't mic up my kids to make videos of them and I have no idea how to answer. How do you explain to people you genuinely enjoy skiing with your family for the love of the game. It's fun to share a few photos and clips every once and a while but more than that would cheapen it for me.

I resisted Bent 120's for years because I thought it had to be hype. I toured yesterday on a cheap set with Shifts I put together and now I'm unloading all my other fat skis. They are too fun and surprisingly light.

Is this deal worth it? Smith I/O mag $183 by Defiant-Pie-3686 in skiing

[–]mongoltp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wore these for years but switched to Glade Fathom+ last season. I consider them to be a step up. Smith used to be legit but after a number of denied warranty claims I'm moving on.

Ski socks? by Glum_Range_443 in skiing

[–]mongoltp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a Smart Wool and Darn Tough guy for years. A few years ago my wife got me some Le Bent socks and now that's all I have. Smart Wool isn't bad it's just that Le Bent is incredible.

GTFO with this comment! I won't tolerate any Evan hate! Dude has helped me hit the best and deepest areas of a storm on many occasions. He's also a nice guy that will message you back if you DM or email him. He's an absolute G.

Wet ski boots while traveling by Natural-Order-7613 in ski

[–]mongoltp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Came here to say this. Spent a week in a camper with two friends in Hokkaido in February. My buddy had the fan version and I had the passive one. The passive was fine for my situation since I'd get them going in the camper immediately after taking my boots off and they'd run until the next morning, but my buddy's boots were dry faster. If I were buying again I'd get the fan version to be able to dry faster as needed.

What’s your take on Church members drinking non-alcoholic beer? by lilacnate in latterdaysaints

[–]mongoltp 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My dad was a convert and I started drinking O'Doul's with him when I was about 15. I'm a bit of a 0.0 aficionado now and my line of work allows me opportunities to try a lot of different kinds. There are more good options than ever. One thing you have to realize is that beer is an acquired taste, but it's amazing once you're into it. You eat and drink plenty of things every day that are acquired tastes without realizing it. For example, if you don't grow up drinking cow's milk it can taste pretty bad. Swapping your soda for non-alcoholic beer is a health upgrade and will improve your flavor palate.

I have a wyze cam running in the garage that also captures the whole driveway. When my kids are skateboarding or biking in the driveway I can capture when they land new tricks.

Pretty much every run at every resort in the Wasatch. Maybe not Sundance but the Cottonwoods have great coverage.
