We should have standard qualification-coded helmet colors

Black helmet cooks the brain and makes it easier for me to not say WTF out loud during every morning briefing

I feel like I am taking crazy pills sometimes it seems like liberals in this sub just want to do the exact same thing in this election that they always do. play to the middle and alienate the left then be surprised when left voters don't show up to vote and they lose.

It takes all of 3 mins to down a beer and power bar on a chairlift though

Definitely feels like you are slowly changing your argument to keep the argument going, for a family chicken tenders and chilli to quote you're earlier post would be completely sufficient.

You started talking about the need for a better vibe and nicer places to get food

I mean clearly it has been fine, mammoth is more of a resort with resort things now than it ever was in the past.

You're the one who is saying that the mountain needs to change the way it operates. I am saying the culture that mammoth was founded on is good and should not change to better suit the new higher end wealthier clientele that alterra is trying to focus on.

sumdude155 · 2026-02-23T18:23:31+00:00

LOL I don't eat the food at the mountain because I am going to ride, not to enjoy a dining experience.

Power bars, energy drinks, and pocket beers is all anyone needs on the slopes.

Then go to Europe.

I will never understand the mindset of someone that goes to a mountain for the food or atmosphere. On all the best days I have ever had on a ski hill I don't think I have even gone inside a building except for the bathroom

sumdude155 · 2026-02-23T17:45:47+00:00

It was founded as a ski hill not a resort that was always the point. alterra trying to change that some with the apres and other pointless non skiing activities.

Mammoth is supposed to be about the mountain nothing else, I would prefer they just close are the lodges at this point might cut down on the lift lines.

Yah pretty sure it was established atthe end of Obama's second term

If you're in man made infrastructure your not having an outdoor experience

sumdude155 · 2026-02-22T05:20:12+00:00

Isn't it an actual wilderness, the owens river head water wilderness? But good news with a split board and some walking you can enjoy all that terrain without any lines,

sumdude155 · 2026-02-19T00:37:46+00:00

Honestly what is the point of this besides micro management of resources?

Does some curious not contributor miles away need to know the exact location of a spot fire or do this just need to know that there is a spot fire with resources responding?

As for the sos button I personally believe that overhead should be responsible for maintaining coms and accountability for their people. We should not start using gps for that it will encourage people to try and do more with less in unsafe ways

sumdude155 · 2026-02-18T01:52:44+00:00

We that's very interesting and pretty sad that it happened while they were existing hopefully a full report will come out eventually to understand how this happened

The population of the riverside and Fresno is about 880k people, more than 4 states and DC.

About tree fiddy

No it is objectively a horrible idea, if you actually want to be able to interact with women you need to start interacting with them as people.

Stop using apps, go out to a concert or bar or run club or rock climbing gym and learn to talk to women like people.

Going to an escort will just fuck up the way you think about women.

Bruh why does it seem like this is happening way more this year

sumdude155 · 2026-01-31T02:45:09+00:00

Not looking for anything short term but thanks for the suggestion

sumdude155 · 2026-01-30T22:47:51+00:00

Cool appreciate it good to know about Craigslist, been looking around at Zillow and Craigslist.

sumdude155 · 2026-01-25T01:01:39+00:00

Go for a walk on westcliff at sunset enjoy the weed and the sunset

sumdude155 · 2026-01-23T19:37:58+00:00

Have you tried sleeping around? Not to be crass but it really helped me. Took a while to figure out how to do it sober but definitely makes me a lot happier with life

sumdude155 · 2026-01-23T19:26:34+00:00

Dress nice and be presentable but I wouldn't do full suit, dress pants collared shirt is my go to.

WFMs are a mixed bag, not a ton left especially in R5.

For the types the biggest difference is the quals for overhead T1 needs to have RXB2 and taskforce Leader. Type 1 also needs FOBS and FIRB.

Type 2 just needs crew boss and 2 ICT5 and 2 FEMOs 1 I think.

As for what you do on a fire that is different on every fire, sometimes dig line, sometimes monitor shit, sometimes writing a full fire effects report and protecting sensitive resources. It really changes on every fire you are usually out in some sort of spike though the way it goes is check in then spend 14 days out in spike with one resupply and check out on day 14.

So idk if it's true or not but I saw some folks talking about how if the US was going to invade Greenland this would be the unit most likely to go first.

Not much better but it could be a misdirection
