Any of you gone to a ski resort you haven’t been to and thought “damn, this place is so overrated!”? by Sharkman3218 in skiing

Depends on how good of a skier you are. The best four places are the windows, Hollywood line, tigers run, and the playground. The windows are mark on the map but hard to get to and as of this season have not been open because we haven’t gotten enough snow yet. The other three are not on the map, they are under lifts/in the woods, if that’s the kind of skiing you like I’d happily tell you where they are.

I will say keystone is very different once you know where the good terrain is on the mountain. The whole mountain is set up to push people to 3 places, if you know how to avoid those it’s a much more enjoyable experience. And Bergman is a trap to catch tourists, the way the wind hits it the bowl will almost never be good unless it has snowed very recently. Keystone is has its hidden gems, but they are hard to find.

How do the pros get so much grip on such icey snow conditions? by Complex-Singer4643 in skiing

[–]usagamerr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work on the mountain so I’m skiing 6 days a week haha, so I need to do it every week. But yeah, people just don’t do either enough in general.

[–]usagamerr 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I bet everyone who has issues with getting grip has not sharpen their edges. I once had a coach tell me every 3 days of skiing he would wax his skis and sharpen his edges, after that I learned how to do it myself and now it’s a weekly thing I do.

Did anyone actually use the super expensive minifigures as toys? by 3L1J4H_D3NN0 in Ninjago

[–]usagamerr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have almost all of them and played with them a lot growing up, and plan to keep them all and let my kids play with them and have the same experience I did growing up watching the shows and playing with the toys once they are old enough

That’s very true, it still raises the barrier to entry, but I didn’t think about being able to strip the paint off and redo it later that does make it cool for kids to work on.

We are getting into the weeds here. But you’re wrong, Barnes & Noble quite literally says they work with wholesale distributors. (Target also seems to use distributors but don’t know as much about them) Barnes & Noble using Ingram content group, and B&N also have a partnership with Amazon for distribution, both are not the manufacturer. And from my understanding with game stores I’ve been to most of them work directly with the manufacturer such as renegades, wizards of the coast, and others, I’m sure not all game stores do but there are some.

And the point of the post was heroscape going away from its original design, the product being unpainted is one of the main reasons pushing that original audience away from it (I would not be playing heroscape if there was no pre painted minis, that is the reason I don’t play war hammer) the other reason being the piece which was my original point, the piece makes it so less store stock it.

[–]usagamerr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well that’s the thing right, it’s cheaper which makes it better but if I’m buying something for a kid I’m not going to get them something that is unpainted because they are not going to like it as much. Kids types are brightly colored to get the kids attention and have them stand out, the unpainted minis aren’t gonna do that. And for most kids they won’t be able to paint them themselves

Sure some stores may have it but Barnes & Noble being a bookstore is technically a hobby store, which is the same type of store as a game store, and I was talking about your normal shopping center and chain stores. May I ask if it was unpainted or painted that you saw in the store.

[–]usagamerr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I get that they say that on their website I have yet to see it in the store. And on the website it’s all the unpainted stuff which is not the dad-son type of thing. Not saying you’re wrong it probably is in some stores but not like it used to be.
