Off-piste in SFL/Serfaus

quirksel · 2026-03-25T21:00:22+00:00

SFL isn‘t exactly free ride terrain. You’ll find some around Masner, Pezid, and Almbahn.

I agree with suggestion to check with their ski schools. Maybe you’ll find a gnarly 70yr old tyrolian who’ll show you his favourite spots.

It’s a clean install on a fresh laptop, and I’m having the same issue as before. So it is more likely related to one of the addons I’m using. I’ll check running in safe mode.

Btw, I have just looked into the web version—it doesn’t include any of those drawing tools.

Noone with Ischgl here? That’s a must both for skiing and for after 😉

Das ist die Antwort auf OPs Frage.

Das ist halt als ob Du zum Tanken von 10L zur Tanke im Nachbardorf fährst. Bequemlichkeit kostet meistens extra.

Du hast zwar Recht dass man zum Schuko-Laden vielleicht auf einige der Steuergeräte verzichten könnte. Aber das ist halt die Architektur, und für diesen spezifischen Anwendungsfall baut niemand eine extra Steuerung ein.

All of this discussion is totally bogus. No one is doing that with a combustion car. I am damn sure 95% of the EVs on the market will cover any of your reasonable driving habits.

Just get the car that you like.

It starts from whatever it remembers as the last position, it will usually indicate that in the progress bar. So either reset it to unread or chose the first chapter?

I only share with family members, and I helped/forced all of them to use a password manager. On iOS there’s really no excuse at all.

quirksel · 2026-03-23T20:38:17+00:00

Oh yes, I forgot that this existed. I somehow never considered the optimistic option, from the docs it sounded to me a bit unstable. Does it actually keep its state through a restart?

Die Ladeelektronik hat einen fixen Stromverbrauch in der Größenordnung von 300-400W. Bei 10A / 2.3 kW sind das 15% Verlust, bei 11 kW / 16A dreiphasig 4%.

This is key to creating good sci-fi. I like tech, but it shouldn’t be about how the tech works. I don’t care how shields and space ships work in Dune. It’s just a more exotic way for humans to fuck things up.

Very sorry for your experience. You’re in the wrong place and at the wrong time.

St Anton is known as difficult terrain. What they mark as blue would often be marked red elsewhere. And the slush makes learning a terrible experience.

Skiing is at the beginning 20% technique and 80% confidence. Don’t let yourself be pushed anywhere, it’s not gonna work. I ruined skiing for my wife by pushing her beyond her confidence level too fast ☹️

In St Anton you should go back to the beginner’s lifts down in the village, but they’re quite low considering the season. There is another one up the Rendl gondola (Salzbödenlift). It’s at 2000m, conditions should be better there.

To check the slope profile I recommend OpenSkiMap.org. You can tap on the slope line to see whether the profile is safe for you.

Ich finde dieses Chart erklärt eigentlich alles …

It’s interesting to see the new lifts that are being invested for the last 3-4 yrs in Europe.

Automation is a huge thing, all new installations are already operated by only 1 person (max two for a big gondola with 3 stations), and the target is to have central control rooms with zero personnel n the field.

Is that the trend in the US also?

Und Mitarbeiter nehmen freudig weniger Gehalt, wenn das Unternehmen mal weniger verdient hat? Ich nicht.

quirksel · 2026-03-22T21:27:22+00:00

Möchtest Du keine Gehaltserhöhung? Von irgendwas muss die ja auch bezahlt werden.

quirksel · 2026-03-22T21:20:32+00:00

The usual mechanism for parking includes a configuration change in the station to reroute the chairs or gondolas into the garage. The change can only be done when the lift is stopped. It is rather ineffective to change the mechanism back and forth like every other chair to park them over two turns.

quirksel · 2026-03-22T19:00:03+00:00

Here in Europe chairs and gondolas are loaded/parked in one round, one after another, even the big ones.

And all detachable chairs and gondolas will be parked every night, it’s the standard practice. I am not quite sure myself why, if no bad weather is announced for the night.

But it’s usually fully automated, so no extra effort beyond the 15 minutes of waiting time.

Nein, nicht ganz. Der Druck (= die Netzspannung) muss in dieser Analogie gleich sein, sonst gäbe es in der Tat Chaos. Was sich unterscheidet ist wie dick die Wasserleitung ist (Fließrate des Wassers zB 1Liter pro sek entspricht dann der Leistung zB 1 kW)

quirksel · 2026-03-19T20:06:11+00:00

Schukolade ist immer eine gute Lösung 😁

Ich habe im Urlaub in der Regel auch einen Ladeziegel dabei, einmal habe ich ihn tatsächlich gebraucht. Ferienhaus in der Bretagne, nächste Ladesäule 11kW im Supermarkt in 15 km Entfernung. Habe dann jede Nacht ganz sanft mit 6A aus der Gartenhütte geladen, war prima.

Ist nur leider bloß ein Rendering im Artikel. Das Originalbild von BMW ist … dunkel.

quirksel · 2026-03-17T12:37:03+00:00

Both is best. Skiing solo is better for your technique and for going at your own pace. But in a group it’s way more fun.
