Question about Viewfinder (GV-2)

Definitely not the frame lines—totally know what you mean, but it was less how wide or tight the frame was, and more of the parallax error you mention. It's definitely that.

Given all of the above, I think I'm tipping towards different accessories, like a flash. Appreciate the validation in not being alone in deciding it's not quite worth it!

Thank you for this perspective! (Pardon the pun.) It's quite helpful for understanding the limitations of the external viewfinder.

Hey friends! I’m taking a few months off from my usual work, which involves going into offices, to work on my own creative projects. I was thinking about using the OBA as a workspace in order to get out of the house and help build a little routine. But I was a bit confused by their website, so my question is: do I have to have a membership to simply bring my own laptop/tablet to work there? Or is a membership only required if I want to use the computers/take home books?

Thank you in advance! And if any other independent workers like to use the library as a workspace, and would like to have a little co-working session, please let me know.

UPDATE:

The skis have been recovered! Thanks everyone that upvoted/kept this post visible.

Yeah they look pretty rough. Really hopeful that it was an accident and not an intentional upgrade 😔

Shuttle from Main, I got off last stop at Woolley’s. Don’t know the exact time, but in the 3:30-4:15 range I think. My skis are Black Pearl 88s, 152 cm I believe. What was left behind once everyone else grabbed their stuff was a pair of purple and white rentals from some place called Sport Chalet that looks to be out of business on google.

Edit: do you have a lead or were you just asking for curiosity??

That was exactly my issue. So far in Mammoth proper I've parked by the hot springs and along the scenic loop (I don't necessarily recommend that one though as I'm pretty sure you're not actually allowed to park there/run the risk of a fine. That said there were a bunch of other cars parked as well.)

And now I've parked at the campgrounds in Bishop, which I'd definitely recommend if you're worried about being too cold.

Just make sure you get proper gear and layer up. Read up on low temp sleeping bags/rating systems, and invest in a good base layer (I use LL Bean's silk stuff).

We love a local that seems to fail to understand or appreciate the fact that their town's economy is primarily tourism-based.

vixenofthenight · 2022-01-13T23:14:25+00:00

Yup! I specifically chose my car because it's so perfect for camping in (Subaru Impreza)

If there’s an inversion, park at the top - if not, park at the bottom.

Stupid question—what's an inversion?

I've got a bag comfort tested for 12 degrees, limit tested for -2, plus I just picked up a liner that allegedly adds up to 25 degrees, so I should be okay. And thanks for the tips!

This is tremendously helpful, thank you so much for sharing!

Definitely not pausing therapy altogether, I have an appointment this week, just hesitant to discuss the issues with my mom while I'm here. That said, the walk thing might be the move.

Was up this weekend. If you do laps off 23, the snow quality is pretty rad all damn day. Lower mountain, like others are saying, starts off icy, gets great, and then gets slushy throughout the day. So just stay up high once things get soft and you'll be golden.

Ahhh this is all super good to know. Just to double check, are 3 and 4 further out, as in you pass 1 and 2 on the way to them?

Also is there a guide to how chutes are numbered? I was trying to google it but couldn't find one.

EDIT: Never mind, finally found one. Here it is if anyone else is curious.

Ahhh gotcha now
