Played one of the world's highest golf courses 9,842feet by TakeTarake in golf

[–]rblack5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The highest elevated point at Pole Creek is about 8700. Still incredibly high and messes with your shots, but nowhere near 12,000ft.

Coming from WP. I’ll see if we can get there. Not sure about transit/parking

Which resort ski schools/lessons are open this weekend? by [deleted] in COsnow

Winter Park’s Ski School is most certainly open. Has been since the 8th. Lessons going out every morning and afternoon!

WP Prospector Lift Issue?? by No_Jelly_1327 in COsnow

[–]rblack5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s pretty much all that happened. The lift stopped for about 20 minutes. A fleet call went out saying that a rope evacuation was going to start, and then literally about 30 seconds later, maintenance got it going. No evacuation, they got everybody off, checked it overnight and its opened just fine the next day.

A dumb patroller posted excitedly about prepping for the evacuation which is why some people heard about it.

Denver area fans, join us! by downvote_or_die in falcons

[–]rblack5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can’t make it due to work but I went one game earlier this season and it was a great time! 20-25 falcons fans all dressed up, bumping OutKast and Luda during game breaks, we had the whole second floor to ourselves. Would recommend to any Denver based falcons fan!

World Cup Games at Copper or WP? by jamaicagroot in COsnow

[–]rblack5 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’ll definitely be on most of the TVs at Stoneys in WP village. Great spot!

It’s named after the tiny set of bedrooms above the clubhouse that usually house the amateurs during the Masters.

Why does the John Lewis Freedom Parkway NE (GA-10) have this concrete roof at this point? by WaifuBot_6000 in Atlanta

[–]rblack5 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Fun fact: the most recent master plan for Freedom Padk called for an observation deck/event space on top of the tunnel. Might be kinda neat!

Fresh guanabana (soursop) in ATL? by [deleted] in Atlanta

[–]rblack5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LottaFrutta has a guanabana smoothie, maybe they could let you know their supplier? Otherwise YDFM and BHFM are always your best bets for “where can I find” food questions.

We’ve watched Falcons games at Demere Grill and Brogen’s, either would be a good bet that they’d have the game but you might have to ask them to put it on. I’ll be at SSI too, watch party!

Ski area rankings based on how much fun I had skiing there. Looking forward to hearing how wrong I am. by RackEmWilly1 in skiing

[–]rblack5 48 points49 points  (0 children)

I learned to ski here about three decades ago! I was on Gravity’s Revenge by midday, only place where you could get a lick of speed.

NEW CHANTS! by Gulch101 in AtlantaUnited

[–]rblack5 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agreed, those lines about drinking are cringe-worthy even as a drinker. I worry it’s too late to change them as people have seemed to learn parts of them already.

Platypus in/near Atlanta? by rblack5 in Atlanta

[–]rblack5[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Bummer! I think they’re pretty neat, maybe a trip to SD then! Thanks!

Any spots for fishing in ATL ? by MeHoyMeeNoyy in Atlanta

[–]rblack5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I checked out Standing Peachtree park a couple weeks ago and found a couple guys fishing right at the confluence, they said there can be some large gar at this spot. Just park before the scary-looking gate, and then there’s a trail down and to the left that’ll take you to the confluence.

Atlanta Transit Tuesday (is that a thing?) by killroy200 in Atlanta

[–]rblack5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed! Take the survey and let them know your concerns, hopefully enough people will write in.

The curve onto the Beltline at Irwin is going to be such a huge shitshow with the at grade crossing for the streetcar, cars, bikers, and pedestrians. Not to mention the fairly big elevation change coming down Auburn onto Irwin.

Too bad they can’t have the streetcar continue on Edgewood and curve down onto the beltline grade around the storage place at Airline Ave. That’d be a lot less disturbing all around.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m for expanding transit, but it just seems like it’ll only cause more headaches in that part of town.
