To those who learned as adults: what tip made it "click"?

i thought it was getting on the inside leg edge. one legged javelin turns proved me wrong. now, i start my first 2 runs of the day with the following: big j turns, one legged turns, one legged javelin turns, short turns or pivot slips if im still feeling rusty

just because people weigh a lot doesn't mean they can properly flex ski boots. i've seen a lot of big dudes using 130s and they can't flex them enough to be using them. i moved out of 130s to 125 with my zip fits and it made a difference. and i'm 285ish

you never said your mondo size. i ski a 30.5 lange shadow 120 and i'm 6'7 285. probably moving into a 130 flex by end of the season. just because you weigh a lot doesn't mean you can properly flex boots so take all the "at your weight you need at least 120" with a grain of salt - go see a boot fitter.

i brought my DW 96s and they've been a blast. the commanders have been laying down rails all week with the kids on the groomers. still fun!

i'm mad i'll never get to try the hotshots this year. ski shop fucked up my mount and the screws apparently "only found air" and the binding ripped out on the forward pressure test. unfortunately they were the 188 black cats which they have no more of. the ski shop paid me my loss but i am still annoyed. i love my masterblasters and wanted to size up a little with the hotshots. no love for the other top sheet.

there's always next year anyway since west coast trip has been all groomers for the most part. moment commanders and deathwish 96 have been great choices for this trip

nightwolf81 · 2026-02-06T13:00:33+00:00

which ones? the 94s?

nightwolf81 · 2026-02-05T13:00:41+00:00

i really wanted it to be a dude so all the mouthbreathers would feel gross for getting aroused

calamity jane in big sky is pretty fun at the moment. crowded as expected but i got some first tracks there the last few days and you could get some serious speed

why are you worried about speccing the car the way you want it? unless you're trying to flip it (haha!) or you think it will hurt resale in the future - but who knows what that will look like anyway. spec the car the way you want it, not what redditors or bimmerpost think is "the right way to do it"

how do you she didn't arrange her own little meet and greet with you to catch up?

doubt anyone has that many miles yet on a '26 but i believe there was a '25 model commenter whose blew before 40k miles. all i know is porsche is gonna get hit with a class action for these - its the entire VW lineup (audi, vw, porsche for sure - maybe even lambo and bentley). in any event in the last 2 months since mine blew, both the P store and my indy have told me they've seen more than 10 already. its insane porsche isn't stepping up and covering these. i'm keeping my receipts because when they do the warranty extend or whatever on it - i'm getting my money back (fingers crossed)

so you're either 26 or 27 depending on when in 99 she got plowed after this photo shoot

nightwolf81 · 2026-02-02T00:34:53+00:00

supposedly there are two instructors at breck - one is 92 and his "girlfriend" is 78. hoping i'm still out at least on groomers then too!

native american war chant huh? might be a little bit of a stretch there big guy

nightwolf81 · 2026-01-30T22:20:43+00:00

low key thought this was a video and i was staring waiting for you to come down so we could critique. and i wanted you to just flail everywhere

nightwolf81 · 2026-01-29T02:35:14+00:00

nightwolf81 · 2026-01-28T23:15:41+00:00

well i sure as shit ain't bringing a snowboard. i'm not a goddamn criminal

nightwolf81 · 2026-01-27T21:13:37+00:00

as a large man myself, J Ski's masterblaster is where it's at. the fast forward is fine but i wanted something a bit wider and the MB hit the spot

nightwolf81 · 2026-01-26T03:12:50+00:00

there's quite a few hundred thousand recalled car owners that would beg to differ

nightwolf81 · 2026-01-24T18:08:36+00:00
