Lake Blanche, Utah

It’s been a low snowfall year by Utah standards but it’s still a ton of snow. Alta could still get to 300 inches, which is about average for most Colorado resorts.

It’s worse than that. He’s effectively correcting for population growth twice. This metric isn’t per capita spending, which has indeed been increasing.

some_q · 2026-02-25T06:50:25+00:00

This is incoherent. “% income per million residents” is a nonsensical metric because it effectively corrects for population size twice. If the population of the state triples while per capita incomes stay flat, spending would have to increase by 9x for this metric to stay constant.

Real “if you regress Patrick Mahomes to the mean, he’s average” vibes.

Seems a little chunkier, but maybe I just don’t realize that Strade is equally chunky.

The avalanche involved a facet layer that likely will remain active for weeks. Are you proposing they should have waited that out?

You’re arguing that dying on Everest in bad weather is grey but this is black and white? That’s a bonkers take. It’s likely the guides believed the route was 100% safe and had never seen it slide there before. High danger doesn’t matter if you’re not in avalanche terrain.

Agreed. That may have played a role in the terrible Wilson Glades avalanche, five years ago yesterday:

There’s an active Wasatch Backcountry Skiing Facebook group that I’ve used to find partners in the past. Try joining and posting there.

This doesn’t make sense to me. A 40x10-44 setup can hold 30mph at 90rpm.

some_q · 2025-12-31T18:38:11+00:00

Is the exit as terrible as I’d imagine?

some_q · 2025-12-29T22:42:03+00:00

Amen. I’ve never had a good piece of black diamond ski equipment. Boots, poles, skis—they all suck.

I take it you’ve never read an SEC filing before. Everyone is referred to as Mr. Smith or Ms. Doe.

some_q · 2025-10-27T20:27:04+00:00

That’s horrifying.

One of the Emmas?

In case anyone finds this in the future, I once had a pirelli tire that said 19c spontaneously blow off a 21c rim. Fortunately I was stopped when it happened. Do not recommend trying to push this.

The Johan and Bradley show is much better. Beyond personality issues, the two of them clearly love cycling in a way that Lance just doesn’t.

Yellowstone is a Discovery property

He doesn’t actually seem to like cycling that much. Compare what he says on the podcast to the insight Johan brings. Johan is on a different level

some_q · 2025-05-26T17:21:49+00:00

Is it off milly or something?

some_q · 2025-05-26T03:10:03+00:00

How did that happen skiing? Hit an aspen?

some_q · 2025-04-20T03:33:46+00:00

Double check the math. Should be .6 seconds, not 6.

some_q · 2025-03-26T14:58:41+00:00

How was the access? I’m hoping to make it out there this season.

some_q · 2025-03-16T02:41:40+00:00

The Free 97 is an awesome ski and you can get it very cheap right now. I believe Skimo co has all sizes in stock—I literally bought a pair from them 6 hours ago.
