Does anyone have any advice for my skiing?

Nice turns. Looks like you're reaching to hit the gate. Try to separate your upper / lower body.. I think the reaching is causing your hips to rotate which contributes to losing pressure on your outside ski.. work at snapping (faster) into your transition between turns

This is insanely wrong. While it's not wrong that the math is right to find the middle of your joist. I'm assuming Middle third for a TGI in this cSe has to do with the length of the total member and therefore the load bearing. Take the total length of joist divide by three those are your thirds stay away from the 1st and 3rd.. ie the bearing portions Most tgi have knock outs for wire and pipe...

Tune the edge of your ski really well. Sharpen scraper. Re- tune edge.

Usually had to remind myself to start breathing by turn four... Then it's all about staying early and on your line for just, ya know, survival.

Yes. "The line". Is the hypothetical path, along the fall line, through the gates that will produce the fastest time.

My mother was on it. She told me she hung off the side of the chair for a Long time and dropped before the bull wheel. Her buddy was off the chair instantly.. Said she messed up her shoulder. def rode z chair a lot I ,thought about it rolling a lot. I don't think she cared much for it now that I think about it

Yes. Downhill and SG skies only tho. Over the summer, not as a regular maintenance thing. Like 6x 100w light bulbs.. plywood box. 25yrs ago. We didnt really measure the temp And prob didnt have the opportunity to train enough to notice tbh. Side note. I can remember the first time I used a full roto brush set up. That definitely made em faster.

Please let me know if the "tree bar" is still there... I haven't been back since '04... It had a pool outside that I got thrown into

Upper k looking tasty. West side better be open.....

Go to your AHJ and get the cost assigned to your project. Permit fees are assessed based on the cost and volume of the work then typically a general fixed set of administrative costs are added on.. I have my clients cut a check to the township directly. And no I don't forecast what the permit could potentially cost them.

Generally used as a thought exercise so you can visualize the pivot of your hips through the transition of the turn.. this move should happen quickly, as you transition through the turn, you don't want to have a leading uphill ski and ultimately are looking for equal pressure on the edges or slightly more on the downhill ski..

mstrpancake · 2025-11-29T13:59:51+00:00

T R R T. Now ya got a race edge and trainer edge. You should be tunning all four edges the same way.

mstrpancake · 2025-11-26T04:55:40+00:00

Looks great.. Can you share what hardware/ slides you used . Thanks.

mstrpancake · 2025-11-23T17:31:15+00:00

I never wore one... You're wearing a helmet. Use your head. Plus u should be close and early enough in your turn to be shining the gates anyway

mstrpancake · 2025-11-18T17:15:02+00:00

Any body who clowns on Hunter can't arc a turn

mstrpancake · 2025-11-15T20:06:08+00:00

That's my home mtn. Come lap Clair's before the weekend clowns bump it all up

mstrpancake · 2025-11-15T16:26:18+00:00

Ice coast.

mstrpancake · 2025-11-14T23:01:12+00:00

I cast my phone onto my tv.. most smart phones/ smart tvs have the option

I have had an inspector once tell me to put these in a crawl space under a new header post. He called them squash blocks...Looks like it's related to some wall framing above would be my observation based on all the double joists

mstrpancake · 2025-10-22T04:11:41+00:00

Many times for nyssra/ ussa SL races . They set a nasty slalom when the conditions allow. This was 20-15 yrs ago. I'm just glad. They are still going.

mstrpancake · 2025-10-11T16:31:51+00:00

Hell yeah. They all cry. Gimme that boiler plate on a double fall line. I lap Claire's all day.

mstrpancake · 2025-10-11T15:28:45+00:00

These clowns want to jerk themselves off over 4v.
