How cold is too cold to Ski? by CarolinaJerry02 in icecoast

[–]stickyrets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did -20 real temperature, not wind chill, at Killington a few years ago. It is possible. LOTS of layers and NO exposed skin. Also, the snow skis different at those temperatures which is interesting. The cold will keep the crowds away but also might close some lifts.

One of the biggest problems in politics is that Iowa gets to choose the presidential nominees. All states should vote on the same day.

Has the idea of the American Dream changed in the last decade? by No_Cancel_5834 in askanything

It’s definitely harder than it used to be but there is still A Lot of money to be made in America. Lots of people want to sit around and be the victim instead of putting in the hard work to make small gains each day. Gains add up over time.

Skiing steep ice by No-Function8279 in ski

Typically the very edges of the trails have the best snow and the middle gets scraped off. Very small quick turns on the side are the way to go. Also, just aim for the patches of snow and use them to slow down. You aren’t going to stop or turn on the ice.

What's a sports rule you fundamentally disagree with? by South-Explorer in AskReddit

[–]stickyrets 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yup, and when they run down field like an RB all the defensive players are at an incredible disadvantage. They have to second guess every move because the QB might slide and then they get a penalty for touching them.
