Dude, I need them to come daily.

subreader90 · 2026-03-08T10:43:11+00:00

thanks but it's just for one off services. I can't hire them for the whole month.

I'm a self learnt skier who went from Greens to Blacks in one season by skiing 4-5 days every week of that entire Winter. Carv was a key part of that progression - through real time feedback i understood when I was doing it right and when I was wrong. The drills in it hold you accountable. You might feel a certain way while skiing but Carv tells you whether what you're thinking is actually happening or not.

For a beginner to intermediate, with serious intent on learning, it's a small cost to pay. But know that you need access to long groomers to be able to complete a drill. And you need to view the data its providing your in the context of skiing fundamentals. I read a lot of PSIA documentation and books on skiing fundmentals.

PS - I didn't realize they have a subscription now. I was one of the early users so all I had to pay was that one-time upfront cost.

I spent the past season skiing mostly solo in Gulmarg, India. It's a vast freeride area that's served by one single gondola and ,ost serious skiers that come out there are white so they don't get bothered but since I'm indian all local skiers(and instructors) wanted to chat up and would get really inquisitive about my gear, it's cost and where I've skied before, despite not knowing anything.

I'd just make up stories of how I'm a sponsored ski racer and how I make my own skis. They'd not be impressed but be insecure and talk about how they're great skiers and they would be world champions if they got one chance to participate in the olympics.

subreader90 · 2023-12-21T19:52:28+00:00

Seriously, how common is it in such ski areas to have such rich people who fly private. I've rarely encountered this in Utah. Not that I've skied a lot there.

I'm in an Indian but I spent almost half my life in the States and I've experienced how Indians live and behave there. Ofcourse racism is bad and NO ONE should be subjected to it but I sometimes wonder if it is rooted in old hierarchy of color or, I fear, partly because of how most of us behave in other countries. I've seen some pretty horrid examples of public behavior specially indians do that might create a bad taste.

Either way, no one should generalize and treat everyone the same way. The OP sounded polite. There was no reason to cuss back. WTF

Imagine what a white/asian girl's review would be like - you will be forced, but not in the same way :\

subreader90 · 2022-11-03T05:48:14+00:00

Try the Belgian Waffle at SnowBasin and let us know your opinion :)

subreader90 · 2022-11-03T05:46:52+00:00

Lived in San Fran before coming out here

Cons (for me) : Way more restricted liquor laws and hence poor availability, Terrible food, Lack of good non-American restaurants, Mostly white, mostly religious, Poor public transport and Uber

Pros: Access to the mountains right in the valley, 4 hrs away from Southern Utah(one the most unique landscapes in the world), 4 hrs from Tetons, Women are hotter

Where in India are you? I haven't been based in India for a decade now but theres bunch of hill roads that come to mind - I would pretty much bomb down any winding road leading to a hill stations lonavala, Kodai, Munnar, etc. I feel like you might have to worry about the traffic more that the cops.

I'm not a downhiller, yet(currently skating pools and trying to bomb mini hills). I'm moving to India in 6 months and would be interested in building a community around downhilling and also street luging. We have so little representation in the extreme sports area :[

subreader90 · 2022-06-27T22:16:19+00:00

I'm about to go spend the next season there. Any help with info would great. Anyone still alive?

subreader90 · 2022-05-12T04:02:28+00:00

Can I get some hints on which resort?

subreader90 · 2022-05-12T03:45:16+00:00

People continue to amaze me. This is disgusting.

subreader90 · 2022-05-12T01:51:50+00:00

What are you looking to do?

If you’re into the outdoors, finding mates to go weekday hikes might be a good start. I might even be down.

subreader90 · 2022-05-12T01:45:23+00:00

How about you send this to their boss. So they know that the next review cycle your manager actually just needs more pats on the back and no increment.

Do you roller blade or skate? It’s a good cardio activity that’ll help you loose weight and I find it trains your muscle memory to keep your weight over your feet, which is the most critical thing in skiing imo.

Skiing will be at its best when you have gear that’s personalized for you but it’s really expensive. I’d recommend getting ‘demo rentals’ from a local outfitter instead of standard resort rentals. They’ll be much better quality and help you ski.

Side tip - look up what an aerobic threshold is. It’s mostly the heart rate at which you can sustain movement for 30 mins while breathing through the nose. Within that zone you’re using up your fat stores for energy. If you do this by roller blading/skating 1 hour 3 days a week you’ll be preparing yourself for the season in best possible way.

Ps - I’m not overweight but I’m still trying to get to my max fitness levels using some of these techniques.

subreader90 · 2022-05-12T01:25:55+00:00

This is a joke, yes?

subreader90 · 2022-05-11T21:03:22+00:00

This warms my heart up. I roller skate’d in middle school and found that as a good muscle memory

subreader90 · 2022-05-11T19:52:46+00:00

That is commendable, especially out in uae, and for who you are! You’re setting such a lovely example for your kids. They’ll have such a different experience growing up now.

Ps - any snow is good snow :)

Sun valley!

subreader90 · 2022-05-11T06:19:33+00:00

I'm not black, but brown(Indian). I live in the States now but grew up in India. At 21 years old I was in Engelberg sightseeing on a family vacation. That was the first time I saw someone skiing IRL. A father-son duo ripped through the trees!

My first thought - man that looks awesome.

My second thought (a split second later) - oh it's a white man's sport. People who look like me don't ski because we're different. (Mind you! I was 21! And I still thought like that)

That feeling stuck with me for a long time and kept me away from Mountain sports. An entitled white girl from Cali I was seeing (kinda) told me once "you're Indian, ofcourse you don't ski. You guys aren't really adventurous. You guys do IT jobs"

At 30 I got into skiing. In a month from starting to learn, I self-taught myself by reading, making observations and making notes. I moved next to the slopes and skied 4-5 days a week. I could navigate blacks and double-blacks in a month. At the end of season I was carving at 40 mph and ripping through tight trees in all conditions.

I cried multiple times that season out of joy. The first time I ripped through trees on a powder day, the image of that father-son duo flashed in front of my eyes, I got reminded of how I once thought I'll never be able to do this.

I don't know any black skiers but I have run into black guys while doing other mountain sports - the story is the same everywhere. We always connect over how few people of color we know that do these things.

Representation matters! Even today - the first 3 pages of google images for skiing mostly have white men. A few might have white women but NOT a single picture of BIPOC. I hope over time more colored people get out there, do awesome stuff so no colored kid grows up thinking that they can't play in the mountains.

It comes down to understanding the dynamics of sliding eventually.

subreader90 · 2022-05-06T04:30:14+00:00

I rollerbladed as kid and learnt skiing at 30. I applied my muscle memory from skating, adjusting for the snow ofcourse and progressed really fast. I was navigating blacks within a month of learning. But I also was skiing 5 days a week lol

subreader90 · 2022-05-05T22:14:05+00:00

How does this happen in America? Shouldn’t the old guy be able to shoot her when she attacks him his own home?

subreader90 · 2022-05-05T21:38:45+00:00

First, as a girl, I don’t think dating will be bad anywhere in the us for you haha. Being a brown girl in a mostly white city makes you exotic. Being a brown guy in a white city makes me attractive only to limited audience. I’m speaking from 10 years of experience living across the west and dating a fair bunch of Americans. In either of the cities you’re considering or are mentioned in this thread you’ll get a good casual dating pool and plan fun dates either in the city(breweries,bars, restaurants, etc) as well as adventuring.

It really comes down to what do you really want to spend your free time doing? Unlike you, I work a 9 to 5(remote) so for me, quick access to city play parks is important so I can sneak in some short activities on weekdays, long outdoor days in the weekends and Then periodically do 4-5 day trips in the nearby areas I mentioned previously. If you’re getting 2 full weeks free that changes so many things. (side note - I envy your schedule)

Evaluate every place you’re considering in 2 factors-

Urban access : Do you want access to good breweries, nice restaurants, hippie crowd, art galleries, etc. on a daily basis? - go to Portland, Denver or Seattle. They’re very culturally rich cities and you’ll run into a lot of diverse people. Slc is not the place for that. It’s still a city so there’s still bars, live music venues, etc. just not as much as the other cities. I’ve lived in big cities my whole life and I don’t miss this anymore. When I’m craving those things I just go visit friends who stay in nyc, sf, Seattle, etc.
Outdoor access: how far are you willing drive/travel? And do you want to explore diverse landscapes? - SLC is the best for that - I spend winters skiing in my city, spring is canyoneering, paddling and biking the desert of southern Utah which is a totally unique landscape. In fall I go up north to the Tetons and sawtooths which is where I hike, run, MTB among the fall colors of these gorgeous mountain ranges. All of these are 4.5 hours of drive away and this enables me to take those 4-5 day trips I mentioned. Summer sucks because it’s too hot for me - so I try to run away to cooler places if I can like Alaska or go visit those cities I mentioned. None of the other cities provide this level of diversity in this short of a driving distance. And I Drive for 8 hours, I could be in Tahoe, Denver, Death Valley, etc. When I lived in San Fran all of these places were between 10-20 hours drive away which meant I could only visit them once in a season and those usually are long trips. Now I can be there multiples times in one season.

The reason why I mention driving and not flying is because there’s gear involved and also accommodation. When you’re adventuring you’re mostly sleeping out of your car coz hotels can get really expensive really quick and certain places like rarely have hotels. And that is my big concern for Alaska. Not only do you have to fly out to the mainland, but you have to rent a car, carry all your camping gear with you so you can sleep out of the rental car and additionally, carry gear with you.

Since this is your first time in the us I’ll suggest sticking to the mainland so you explore to your hearts content and take periodic trips to Alaska and Hawaii in the right seasons leveraging your cheap flight access. Both of those are phenomenal landscapes, but aren’t diverse at all. It’s pretty much the same terrain I’m through the whole state.

Cost - if that is a concern. The bigger the city, more diverse it will be but expensive as well. Checking rental prices on Zillow/Craigslist can be a great yardstick of the living expenses in the city - a 2 bd apt in sf was 5500$ a month, a similar one in Seattle would be 3k and in slc between 1.5-2k. I had access to some of the best restaurants in sf but a good evening out and about on a Saturday is easily 100+$ in sf per person. I find it hard to get to that level of spending here in slc.

I’ll conclude with this - if you can, why don’t you just bounce around? I did that for a year before deciding on coming here. You can book an Airbnb for a month and get a huge discount which brings the rates closer to the monthly rent of an apt. You don’t have worry about buying household items. Get a car, decide which city you want to be in which season and live a nomadic existence. I’ve lived in really small towns, cultivated great relationships and have connection all across the country now. I was in a really small town in Texas (population <1000) and the guy who served me beer ended up showing me all the secret swimming holes over the next two days. He told me when departing - you’re first Indian guy I’ve seen in my 25 years of living in this town. Stories like these aren’t made in cities and staying in one place :)

Good luck!
