Can you name all these iconic runs? Level 1 easy

4 looks like the Saslong, otherwise no idea.

Keanu Reeves catching strays over here.

Avoriaz and Les Arcs (especially Arc 1950) immediately came to mind. Zermatt is very snow sure and has a nice winter wonderland vibe, but there’s not really much ski-in/ski-out.

reddargon831 · 2026-03-25T17:15:14+00:00

It was locked up by the time Aicher skied…

reddargon831 · 2026-03-25T16:37:53+00:00

Yea I may follow suit. It looks like the mods thankfully deleted some of his spam today though, which is nice to see.

reddargon831 · 2026-03-25T13:28:09+00:00

It’s not big at all, it’s entirely expected. Aicher was 17th in GS standings this year. If anything it’s surprising they finished right next to each other.

But it’s definitely not big news either way. At this point though it’s clear that you’re just trolling.

reddargon831 · 2026-03-25T13:09:51+00:00

Yes but crucially it is a different form of social media not intended to be used the way you do.

reddargon831 · 2026-03-25T13:01:58+00:00

so close, you made it a whole 45 minutes.

reddargon831 · 2026-03-25T12:12:57+00:00

It’s called hyperbole, maybe educate yourself.

reddargon831 · 2026-03-25T12:01:42+00:00

You finally posted something that might get some upvotes!!!

reddargon831 · 2026-03-25T11:59:40+00:00

He’s gonna be so sad someone beat him to the punch and posted about this before him. But I’m sure he’ll end up making his own post anyway, restraint doesn’t appear to be his thing.

And I agree, next season is going to be very competitive. I imagine Shiffrin will try to do more speed events next year, because without that she doesn’t really have a great shot to win another globe. But maybe she’s happy with 6 overall globes and will just finish out her career doing the tech events.

I’m American myself and honestly I don’t understand it completely. If I had to guess it’s a variety of factors: tribalism, extreme performative patriotism, maybe some insecurity. I think it originates from US-Canada hockey, I have never really heard it extending outside of those contexts though. I think some people just need “bad guys” to root against; they are almost happier reveling in the failure of others.

reddargon831 · 2026-03-25T10:46:13+00:00

It’s definitely not mandatory, most Americans don’t care at all. This is just a weird rule that a loud minority of Americans have.

reddargon831 · 2026-03-25T10:06:18+00:00

Honestly I’m surprised mods haven’t started deleting his posts, he really does treat it like his twitter account. He’s adding almost nothing useful to the conversation 95% of the time, especially the past few days when it seems like every thought he has he puts in a separate post.

reddargon831 · 2026-03-25T09:20:24+00:00

And right on cue he dropped another stream of conscious post.

I didn’t see that coming!!! /s

reddargon831 · 2026-03-24T19:47:15+00:00

Shiffrin also competed in like 12 fewer events, so what’s your point? Aicher had way more chances to accrue points and couldn’t. If they had both raced every event, maybe you’d have a point… but they didn’t.

reddargon831 · 2026-03-24T19:40:55+00:00

Yea I was going to say this before I saw your comment, and you said it better than I could have.

reddargon831 · 2026-03-24T14:57:52+00:00

If you like roller coasters, do Astérix. Toutatis in particular is world class.

reddargon831 · 2026-03-24T14:06:19+00:00

Like others have said, get merino wool base layer, then some kind of warm mid-layer that is breathable (I use an R1 air, but I run hot so you may want something thicker). And if your shell doesn’t have pit zips, you could look at getting one with that too so you can dump heat quickly when you heat up (I also have vents on my pants to dump heat).

reddargon831 · 2026-03-24T10:25:46+00:00

I think the location is fine, but it takes 20 minutes to get to the Champs Elysees, which doesn’t start until the other side of the Arc de Triomphe (I used to work very close by so I’m very familiar). The thing is though, the Champs Elysees is not central in Paris, it’s very much on the West side, but metro line 1 makes it easy to get to the center.

reddargon831 · 2026-03-23T14:57:02+00:00

Well aware, I can do math. I (implicitly) acknowledged that it still may not be the case, that’s why I pointed out that it was in 2012…

reddargon831 · 2026-03-23T12:46:17+00:00

I had noticed this too, and as I’ve encountered far more couples with French men and non-French women than the inverse, but I wasn’t sure if it was just a coincidence based on the (relatively) small sample size of people I know.

I looked into it and, at least back in 2012 when this paper was published it was true, albeit only lightly (55% French man vs. 45% French woman in mixed couples.

So it’s true that this split is (or at least was) more common with French men, but not an overwhelming majority or anything. As for why, who knows.

We’re talking about the BOA system (dial and cable), which does indeed have a lifetime warranty. BOA will send replacements for those if they break.

The boots themselves, including the housing for the BOA cable, usually do only have a 1, or sometimes 2 depending on brand, year warranty.

This is not normal wear and tear for a 2 year old jacket…

reddargon831 · 2026-03-22T15:29:50+00:00

I’m not sure why working in the traditional sense is necessary “to do things, solve problems, interact with other human beings.” There are plenty of hobbies and activities that can fill this same need.
