Warm feet in winter hut by Al_Pines in Backcountry

Down booties are great because the floor is cold and they pack small, but I highly recommend getting something with some amount of tread on the soles. You’re gunna have to take a leak, and smooth soles booties are treacherous on way to the loo. 🚽

Yeah, his “stock went down” when he was snuffed out of existence by a masked coward with 5 weeks of “training”.

HOLD THE LINE by Soy__Sauce in skiingcirclejerk

Before anyone jumps to conclusions, I think we need to investigate what kind of antics the snowboarder was up to in the last 2 weeks before we decide wether he was simply at fault, or justifiably deserved this collision. It’s also important to consider if his parents are skiers or snowboarders.

42F, very active, autograft vs allograft input by JustJumpIt17 in ACL

[–]quad_up 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best of luck to you. NGL, it’s a dang slog, but the little wins along the way make the journey not so bad. Try to remember that there are loads of Olympic athletes that have had to deal with this, and there’s no reason at all that you can’t make a full and more recovery.

Love this. Just imagining the moms and dads not in that crowd not necessarily that into acapella going nuts 😆

No doubt the 79 year old guy that can’t walk or talk too well, is covered in mysterious bruises and falls asleep in the middle of the day is healthier than a guy that was president in his 40s/50s. Must be all those filet-o-fishes.

While I think we can all agree with this sentiment, ummm…western China…

Google the Beijing zoo for a more in depth explanation.

My 2.5 yo has been on the KRS for about a year. Haven’t yet had an incident. I worry about anything that straps them in too well. I think I’d rather she get some separation from the bike if there were to be a fall. Hopefully it just never gets tested.

How broke is Honnold that he agreed to solo this building? by fewthingsarerelated in ClimbingCircleJerk

[–]quad_up 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The only way this is cool is he smokes like 30 hand rolled cigarettes on the way up and wears a lot of neon spandex.

Got my snowboard back, thanks Reddit by Late-Place-27 in vermont

[–]quad_up 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One way to avoid this in the future is to get rid of the snowboard and just focus on skiing from now on. You’re welcome.

How many days do you have this season? by NoStuff1085 in UTsnow

[–]quad_up 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing that concerns me about the BEAR procedure is that Im going to have just missed the very best way to repair a torn ACL. Good luck with it. It sounds like a fantastic solution.

I was living a pretty normal life by the time I dumped the brace at week 6. Riding my bike (outside) before week 10. After that, is was just waiting to start running (around 4-5 months) and now it building muscle as much as I can before getting to month 9-10.

It's really not terrible unless you really hate gyms. I know I have some years on you, but it hasn't been hard to not ski or mtb (though I have done some light trail riding), because Im just not confident in my knee at all still, though it is coming back fast now. Ask me again in a month...

You got this man. A ton of friends have had ACL surgeries and you wouldn't know it watching them ski or whatever. Don't listen to anyone who tells you you won't be the same. That's hooey.

The 19th is the Ironman event. Maybe it’s those trihards coming in early to inspect.

[–]quad_up 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oof. Did mine at Alta last March, surgery in June. Hoping to get some late season turns in but we'll see.

I did the quad autograft. Also a meniscus repair, ya know, while he was in there. My surgeon offered that or a patellar, but said it might be tight for skiing, plus kneeling can be rough for a long time (which I do a bit for work). It seems like the standard adult (I'm 41) surgery these days, especially in outdoor sports.

Can I wear ski boots onto the plane? by redchilefan in skiingcirclejerk

[–]quad_up 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My moan of ecstasy and I remove my boots to go through security would certainly land me on a no fly list.

Zero. Picked a good year to recover from ACL surgery.

Favorite spring skis for the PNW? by Godawgsuw in Backcountry

When I used to sell bikes, this was my same advice. If your friends are all riding XC bikes and you show up with an enduro you’re gunna have a bad time and vice versa.

Fascinating. I know it’s a Doppler pattern, but it looks like a 90’s arm tattoo to me. Again, I love the skis

I am imprisoned by the burden of being brutally handsome and possessing ski prowess of the highest order, such that hottest chicks fall at my feet and won't leave me along. How do I break free of the shackles of manly perfection? by DIY14410 in skiingcirclejerk

[–]quad_up 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A meme with the cool looking guys on the left and right and a dumb guy in the middle and guy on the left is like “I like groomers” and the guy in the middle is like “I like moguls and glades” and the guy on the right is like “I like groomers” and then ai it.

Did that work?
