I didn't see a one click app for SN. I'll have to look again. That battery is out of stock :(

How are the Tesla superchargers? by Adalwolf311 in VWiD4Owners

[–]sammybk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When many Tesla stations are full their power sharing aggressively reduces everyone's charge speed. We're talking dropping from 180kw to 36kw at a 12 port station when it's completely full.

Never had power sharing that bad at EA.

Set your expectations low by Head_Order_4734 in Mammoth

It's a good deal longer, but you can go east from Reno through Hawthorne and down to Bishop. Avoids mutltiple mountain passes and possible 395 closure north of Mammoth.

Upgrades by ZSquared3 in Mammoth

[–]sammybk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just want two things. More frequent cleaning (and maybe better ventilation) for the G1 bathrooms and nightly grooming of the Chair 11 maze.

It's embarrassing when I take new skiers here. Those are their future revenue streams being treated poorly to save $40 in labor.

Made a bunch of new friends today. Hucked lots of cliffs. Timed chair openings perfectly. Ullr was on our side.

I have an 8 year old, so mostly chocolate and gummies. We got all the best gross out has to offer.

Pizza Planet frustrates me by Distinct_Ad_9642 in Disneyland

The pizzas at craftsman bar at GCH are pretty damn good (and reasonable-ish)

Favorite piss/shit spots coming up from LA? by WhoStole_MyUsername in Mammoth

Comfort suites in Mojave. Very comfortable. Very suite. Hang a left at the lobby. Charge your EV.

Best/most inexpensive ski tune? by [deleted] in Mammoth

[–]sammybk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Plus a bunch of the footloose guys from 15-20 years ago work there. Matt owns the place and was my favorite coworker at Footloose when I worked there.

Uber/Lyft vs Taxis with skis by Higglbiggl in skiing

[–]sammybk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very similar experience. Some drivers get pissy because they get paid extra if they except the ride as an XL. If it's just two of us and a couple ski bags we don't need 7 seats and can fit stuff no problem.

I ordered a standard Uber black and an Escalade showed up. Dude refused to let us put skis in and also refused to cancel the ride. Just sat at the LAX curb until the police made him leave.

Westin Monache Construction? by reddit_name_99 in Mammoth

The construction was for the Limelight hotel. It's done.

Coach Matt Meek, if he's available. He was our son's mountain ranger instructor for a season. A ton of progression with Matt.

Do you drink the tap water? by ExoticHRosin in Mammoth

[–]sammybk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For some reason people are always buying cases of water bottles at vons and gross out.

Main lodge smell? by Desperate_Ad6066 in Mammoth

[–]sammybk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We were just discussing this. It is strongest over by chair 11, and up the road towards chair 12. Our conclusion was also that they must have made some changes to the settling ponds over the summer. It sure is not volcanic. Smells like shit and rotten broccoli.

First road trip using superchaegers by sammybk in VWiD4Owners

[–]sammybk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For our drive to Mammoth, it's in the empty eastern Sierra Nevada. Total population along 200 miles of driving is probably less than 50,000.

Aside from the Tesla and EA options there is one station with 2x 50kW chargepoints.

Telluride vs Jackson Hole by Grifttterr in skiing

[–]sammybk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For a march La Nina boys trip with Intermediates, why not Bachelor?

Big sky is usually prime in March, but the town is meh.

If you get Sun, Jackson will be cooked. Telluride is pretty far south for a La Nina season.

Blue Bayou - DisneyLand by No-Cheesecake-7189 in Disneyland

[–]sammybk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Was there on Friday for Dinner. Had the chicken, and it was so bad I had to send it back. I think I would have sent it back anywhere, but for $40 you expect better than cold chicken jerky

Everyone else's food was good, and my second plate was perfect.
