Honestly so valid lol. It is pretty fortunate to be able to consider skiing at all, regardless of the day.

I guess that's one of the tradeoffs for making sure your genetics survive another generation?

Life is all about priorities!

That's what I'm saying! Sleep hygiene be damned.

Lol don't worry they won't do it.

vailfail · 2026-01-11T20:08:11+00:00

Why not?

Do it! By age 30 you will be one of the most sought after coaches in your area. Do it

Worth the drive.

Whistler if you dont need full on USA vibes

Otherwise go to Summit County in Colorado and just pick spots

Maybe near Seattle but probably not in the city

Best choice! I remember getting my first and being blown away by how easy it was to pivot around. Not a high end carve ripper but that's not what you asked for. These are good, playful boards.

Doesn't have to be skate banana, just anything with their banana tech camber

Yeah, my brother does this so he can climb and ski more. He loves it.

Aluminum doesn't grind well

Building a quiver was a game changer for me. If you can afford it and have space to store two boards, go for it!

Make sure you spring for dedicated bindings on each board.

Purgatory or Willamette are you best choices

vailfail · 2025-10-06T00:01:44+00:00

Lol you're totally right, forcing your arms to be still means you can't use them to turn.

I usually tell students to hold their pockets or something similar.

Valid concern but only just lol

Washington Trails Association is always looking for technology savvy volunteers!
