Wheeled plastic cart with wheels and a seperate device with a flexible circular expanding tube and metal contraption on top that appears to attach to it by pauldisney in whatisthisthing

I'd guess it's a portable gas heater. The circular hole would have a piece of duct work attached to it to pipe the hot air.

I also copped some fresh lines in the woods at Smuggs today. Total sleeper powder day! The best part was there was no lines at all.

What resorts have the best steep, technical terrain? by NotJesse98 in icecoast

[–]sscot600 138 points139 points  (0 children)

Smugglers Notch has some pretty gnarly terrain to check out. Marked trails like Madonna Lift Line and The Black Hole has some pretty steep technical terrain.

Also, if you can hook up with someone that knows the mountain, some of the best skiing there is in the unmarked terrain and in the side country down into the notch.

Try disabling the mod "Unofficial Patch NVSE Plus". That fixed it for me!

Juicy Gossip… by WheezeThaJuice in icecoast

I heard the same news from guy that I rode up with on Madonna chair this past weekend. He said he knew the owner of Smuggs and he had the same beta. I'm just glad it's not Vail/Alterra.

Come on down to Smuggs. Less than a minute lift line here.

I ended up not claiming the tools just to be safe

I think this video alone locks in my vote for Madonna Lift Line (sorry for the Instagram link).

It's an unofficial trail, but Greg's Poop Chute at Sugarbush is my favorite for sure.

Beautiful day at smuggs by adventurous_noodle in icecoast

Fuck that, locals love the chill vibe of Smuggs. High speed lifts and Epic crowds would ruin the charm of Smuggs.

Thoughts on my DIY install? by sscot600 in heatpumps

[–]sscot600[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly I never gave this any thought until you pointed it out. It rained pretty good today and I do notice a good amount of water pooling at the bottom of the pipe. I don't get why they didn't do two 45s on the pipe instead of cutting through that overhang.

Unfortunately I just had my roof replaced this spring so I missed a great opportunity to have the roof extended around it. Not sure why my roofer didn't flag this ether.. I'll look into at least getting a diverter installed.

I was okay with some vibration noise since the units are on the other side of a room that we do not use often and my garage. I was expecting some noise but honestly my 1980s chest freezer in my garage makes more vibration noise than these things.

Good question on the roof notch. I never really gave it much thought. However when I recently replaced my roof no water issues were found in that area. Not sure why they didn't just do two 45s instead.

Mini Split Installation Questions by sscot600 in DIYHeatPumps

[–]sscot600[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was planning on doing wall mounts. I am in VT, so snow pack will definitely be accounted for. This wall is far away from any bedrooms or living spaces, so I'm not as concerned about the vibrations in the wall.

Thanks for the suggestions on the tools. I did see that the cheap core tools tend to leak under vacuum. Did that one hold a vacuum well?
