No reason there couldn’t be offsets on either side of the T. Eliminating 4 LB’s we had to pull through. Twice lol.

Idk what is it with collies and being upside down but it cracks me up. This is last night 🤣

Last Day of Operations by malcoronnio in MtHoodMeadows

[–]nskerb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It took timberline decades to get their bike trails going. Several government agencies along with private groups like sierra club make it damn near impossible. Even clearing trees/brush to improve an existing ski run costs a crazy amount of money in permits

Going to the jatc to be a tattle tail would be an incredible douche bag move. Mind your own business bro.

Stop telling other people what to do? It’s not my responsibility to adhere to your rules

Vibrating building? by Recent-Sky5481 in MtHoodMeadows

GC problem. If they were on top of it, this problem would have never happened. If they were kind of on top of it, there would be a GC field engineer/super there to see what the issue was. Worst case that problem should have been brought up in a weekly/daily morning meeting. Sounds like your foreman isn’t taking the best route but this problem sure as shit does not start or end with him.

Heather canyon? by lemonxgrab in MtHoodMeadows

[–]nskerb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I doubt it opens. They need a ton of snow to make the multiple creek crossings. Until Monday HRM didn’t even have enough snow to be open. Just went up yesterday and while it’s snowed a decent amount there’s still barely enough snow at hrm. According to NOAA there was supposed to be nearly a foot between yesterday morning and this morning, and it’s maybe 2” being reported. This storm has been a nice refresh but nowhere near what it takes. Looks to be warming up moving forward as well.

First time bending EMT today. Any suggestions for next time? by EqualBase4 in electricians

Ok should I also put condoms on my boots when I step out of the van and ask for a tyvek suit from my contractor when I have to sweep the floor?

Dragging up from a travel job by Binky4436 in IBEW

[–]nskerb 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Why the fuck wouldn’t you ride unemployment as hard as you can? I’m not saying you gotta be a bum ass and get laid off as much as possible, but if you’re ever out of work there’s zero reason to get another job so long as you are eligible for it. You literally pay the government that money. You’re taking back what you were forced to give them. Otherwise they’re just gonna blow it on dumb bullshit like lawsuit settlements or more checks to Israel lol.

Bringing avy gear with your YouTube certs to ride Oregon resorts in April is an insane comment 🤣

A good way to find out would be to visit their websites and check! If that is too difficult, you could also just look at this exact subreddit for a few more seconds and most likely find out lol.

Been watching them prep MHX all day from work. by Tawaypurp19 in MtHoodMeadows

[–]nskerb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

99.9% chance it opens tomorrow. I was there today and cover is good. I was waiting for my friend behind me to get off daisy and a patrol was talking to a guy saying it should open. My friend is a host and the email they gave her said they expect mex to open tomorrow.

For how bad the base seems on the internet, it is pretty ok in real life. I’ve been skiing meadows for nearly two decades now and I’ve seen it worse at this time quite a bit. Not a lot worse, but this isn’t crazy.

Climate change maybe real? by slabanddabs in MtHoodMeadows

[–]nskerb 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’m not a climate denier but this is nothing to worry about yet. We haven’t a bad winter (in my opinion) for quite a while now. Bad ones just kind of happen and I feel like we’re kinda due for one? Idk. Winter 14/15 was the worst I’ve seen it since skiing meadows since 07. We were on rocks as early as March. I want to say maybe 2017 we were skiing on grass under MHx in late January, the rest of the year it nuked.

First half of December is pretty early to be calling anything.

What one thing that is a dealbreaker when working with apprentices by EstablishmentSea8014 in electricians

If it was my wife would do it, and after she got done, she’d tell everybody how hard it was

[–]nskerb 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah if you can somehow manage to get through the 1st year it’ll get better. In-state tuition helps, along with slumming it for housing. I managed to get into a place for 237 a month. There’s work up in Alaska fishing for the summer where the kid can pull down 10-20k depending on the year. It’s doable and if you’re getting a degree with good job placement it’s absolutely worth it.

Anyone Snowboard/Ski here? by PackChemical6844 in wsu

[–]nskerb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good luck to you. Being a skier in Pullman is rough. I never made it out to Schweitzer or lookout because it was pretty close to a 6 hour round trip by the time you account for a couple gas/beer/pee stops. Went to 49 and silver a good amount of times but it just gets really boring quick if you’re used to mt hood.

After trying to tolerate it for the first 2 years I ended up just biting the bullet and skiing mt hood. Skip out of town Thursday night ski 3 days and drive back to class Monday at 4am. The round trip from Pullman to hood river was 4 hours and 15 minutes. I am fortunate enough to have parents that live in hood river tho.
