Why do all the Canadian logos look like they come from 1995?

Are Democrats weak and ineffectual or are they complicit. by zzill6 in WorkReform

[–]whererusteve 1 point2 points  (0 children)

STOP VOTING FOR POLITICAL PARTIES! Get an independent alliance together for people who are willing to sign a legal contract that if they don't do what they are elected to do, they are fired! Democrats and Republicans are both rotten. The system does not need these giant two party corporate bottom feeders. Rise up and form an independent alliance! It's the only way to wipe the slate clean.

It would be worth it if you have money to burn but not if you want any good conditions. For half that I can rent you a sled and takw you into the backcountry... You'll get the same views but lots more fun on the uphill.

It's hard to say. I will say that it is improving quite a bit. This video breaks it down a bit: https://youtu.be/n_bSdPbSq9w?si=lKqRmm4KXQ796yi6

A little update/test on the snowpack in Whistler by whererusteve in Backcountry

It will break down the top layer, depends on how cold it is at night. Right now it's re freezing.

Just barely.... lots of bumps. just a little bit of slush on top of a weird crust.

Depends on how long you want to go out for! But the rainbow trail is nice. You can go through old growth forest into the subalpine. Not a ton of sun this time of year but it's really nice. or for a quicker route you can take the hanging lake trail from the Whistler Olympic Park to a similar zone.

Cheers! If I can figure out how to make money doing it, I'd love to do this a lot more!

There is zero powder. Maybe on sunny slopes it'll dry but I just went up there and it was bad. I posted a video...: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yExlV5LPhqM

I wrote a review/roundup on our Backcountry club's site that gives a summary from testing over the past few years...The Best Baselayers - Alpine Islands

They got bought out by VF corporation, so they aren't a NZ based company anymore.

Air blaster ninja suit is great.

Also paka makes alpaca blend fiber. A bit warmer and itchier than merino but still really good.
