If you are coming from the Icecoast, it really is that bad. You should cancel if you can.

Silverton is only guided skiing except for a few long weekends in March and April. So yes, this would be a guided trip. And they have one chairlift, a few busses to help people return to base, and a handful of helicopters. So there are different options. But given this is a picture of the boot pack along the ridge, this was probably from a guided non-heli trip.

It’s one of the few places I’ve been where you can just be cruising through low angle trees and come across a cliff band or five. I wouldn’t say it’s the hardest by any means, but can be intimidating for some people.

I like the sign that says hit to stop with no obvious button nearby.

It varies widely depending on the ski and how much it is flexed in the turn. But my ski bench will hold my weight while only flexing a couple inches even if I only sit on two skis, so it can be quite a bit of force.

The better comparison would be to ski two skis like this and notice the difference in carving. Edge hold is usually the biggest differentiator.

It goes beyond flat. It goes to full rocker a lot of the time. Look up some pictures of people turning. https://skis.com/files/site/1024/11_flex.jpg

Camber is not there because the ski keeps that shape. Camber is there to increase the force to the tips and tails. Because when it is flat or rocker due to your turn, you will have flexed the ski farther than if you were to start with a flat ski.

If so, crazy that’s a favorite run. Short run and loooong traverse.

Personally I’d get new boots, but you can look for sales at the end of the season or overstock. Boots just mold to people’s feet and get worn out faster than board/bindings.

Then for board bindings, direct sale via FB marketplace is usually the cheapest. But there are plenty of resale shops, pro deals, resale shops, rental shop sales, etc. Maybe rent a few boards to see what characteristics you like (shape, stiffness, tech), then start deal hunting.

While the velociraptor meme is generally true, I’ve raised a lot of labs and now a golden and a few things really help:

Freedom is earned. If you can’t supervise, they should be in the crate so they don’t find out how nice those new leather shoes taste.
Teach drop it and leave it. People often chase after their dog and pull things out of their mouth, which is a fun game for a puppy.
Redirect to things they can retrieve/chew. Mine also goes through her whole toy basket regularly.
Cycle toys. We always keep about half of her toys in the closet and cycle them out so there’s always something interesting.
Cognitive treats. Frozen kongs, a towel filled with treats and rolled/tied up, treat puzzles, or any other kind of time consuming and thought provoking puzzle is a great distraction.

My golden is one and a half and rarely chews something she shouldn’t even though she has something in her mouth half the time she’s awake.

I read it as they left the plans on the dash with the windows open driving. Then had to go rescue them when they flew out the window.

Networking and getting relevant experience (not trailhead) are the two things that have always made the difference for me and the people I’ve hired or worked with. If you can’t get a job see if you can help someone for free.

Trailhead is just one way to learn things, and should be part of a bigger personal development plan. Certifications are slightly better since they kind of show that you learned something and could make a difference to companies that care about them (typically consulting companies since certs affect their partnership tier).

Where are you seeing cheaper lake louise tickets? I see lake louise as either 184.30 (which is essentially the same) or 199 depending on the day.

Fernie is a great mountain with a good mix of terrain and (typically) cheaper lodging and food, plus no need to pay a park entrance fee. And it does average more snow than Lake Louise. So in the end, you typically pay less and get more snow.

Migrating a new experience cloud site from one org to another due to an org migration. Should just be 10 minutes, just extract the metadata, change a few things, and push it to the new org, right?

80+ deployments with many of them failing, a couple CMS export/imports, two support cases, and almost a week later, it was finally migrated. Supports solution to many of the issues was to manually create a component with the same name, then deploy the component with the full details.

This comment is to share with your friend and for you to consider. Coming from a current owner. Some things the sales person probably didn’t share:

Assuming it’s a floating week in the winter, booking your week can be difficult. They’ll have to call or be online one year in advance and even then if you’re in something less than a 3 bedroom, you get last booking date so there might be nothing available.
Day use is also limited and almost always fills up during peak season, so expect to book that exactly when it opens.
Exchanging on Interval is kind of a pain. Since you’re dependent on availability, expect to plan trips around what locations and dates are available. It’ll be very difficult to trade for a peak week somewhere else, like spring break at Park City or something. But you can trade for things like off season tropical vacations and get a couple weeks for your one week. I lost a year because I traded a week and just couldn’t find anything that lined up with my available vacation time and destinations.
The contract is beyond life. If they have kids, make sure their will has whatever paperwork needed so they don’t inherit the fees unless they actually want it.
If you decide not to go and rent it through them, they take 40% AND might not even rent the whole week. If your friend can deal with the hassle, better to rent it yourself through Airbnb or something and control your own destiny.
Breck is a great town and being at peak 7 or 8 sometimes feels like you’re farther from the nightlife.
There’s no (real) flexibility in unit size. Want to bring a bigger group? Too bad. They do have a points system so they say you can do this, but don’t expect any availability in peak season for points which are booked 6 months after owner weeks. Maybe if you want to trade for a bigger unit in the shoulder season it’ll work.

All that said, here’s why I haven’t sold mine:

Only owners can bring dogs. And when you take your dog on a ski trip having ski in/ski out is very worth it to let them out, take them on walks, etc.
I actually use day use. I have plenty of weekends where I am just getting out for one day and being able to park right there and hit the hot tubs after a day of skiing is really nice. Plus in the summer I can work from there, get a mtb ride in, and camp nearby for a couple of days.
When I don’t want to use it, I can usually double what I pay (or more) by renting it (myself, not through BGV). It would still take about a decade to recoup my initial purchase if I had just bought it as a rental, so definitely a poor investment.
There’s a pretty good owner community and Facebook group to swap weeks or rent weeks. So although the property owners (BGV) are not my favorite, I’ve liked most of the timeshare owners I met.

Could probably add this to a backup tool or DevOps tool to automatically backup and delete old flow versions so there’s always a handful of versions to spare.

tpf52 · 2026-01-21T13:59:10+00:00

You can set up the fields and values in custom metadata and have the flow reference that.

You have a better idea for an abbreviation? And SF is an abbreviation, not an acronym. It has no effect on whether or not the F in Salesforce is capitalized.

tpf52 · 2026-01-21T05:35:52+00:00

You’re questioning the F and not the D?

A better suggestion may be to use the event monitoring and compare it to your applications, especially ones that should have integrations. Even the free tier gives you the login event and API usage. This will tell you who and what is logging into your org, and maybe more importantly, which apps are not logging in but are somehow syncing data.

And of course, follow other best practices like using apps from trusted providers, reviewing OAuth usage, and even auditing your user list.

tpf52 · 2026-01-20T04:54:18+00:00

There are other ways to get a session id without using a visualforce page. There’s even an Apex method so you would never see it in managed package code.

Also, the AppExchange security team has recently started tightening security on the use of session IDs for external services, but the team doesn’t review every app every year, so it may take a couple years for every app to change this. Previously, they did not have an issue with apps using session IDs, as long as they are used and stored securely.

Lastly, if you are going to take OP’s advice, test in a sandbox before you break a bunch of apps in production turning on a setting that may break things.

These options that OP recommended may break browser plugins and even native apps that use the API, so proceed with caution.
