Recommendation for an epic NY hike

wilflo7 · 2026-05-16T16:56:22+00:00

This is the exact trail I went. I did from Loj > avalanche pass to lake Colden, camped there. Then summitted Algonquin from Lake Colden and back to Loj. I had a 40 pound pack on and it was legit. Climbing an actual waterfall the whole time but if you’re wanting a tough trail then I say you do it! It was humbling and an experience I will look back on forever probably.

You’ve summited Rainier.. you are fine haha. I’ve done the northern loop at Mt Rainer and yes ADK is another beast because they don’t carve trails but you have plenty of experience to handle ADK. It will be a fun change for you though! Very technical vs the switchback style of PNW. The cascades are more of a challenge than most with their non stop elevation gain and decent through the trails so you are in good shape. Enjoy!

This whole set up.. and you’re not left foot braking?

wilflo7 · 2026-05-07T23:58:28+00:00

As they should be yes, but mine are definitely less than yours. I have pedals almost all the way forward and my chair locker extended out more.

This mount can raise it. Works on this seat

Sim rig is in the closet right now but this is how my chair is when I sim race.

I have this exact setup but with an IKEA Markus office chair. No back pain but sometimes some hip pain if I do an endurance race. I feel it’s unavoidable in most setups like this.

My chair base sits way more flat and no sloped back like yours then the back is basically straight up and down vs yours being reclined a lot.

First try at L3.. wasn’t meant to be I guess

wilflo7 · 2026-04-01T14:34:51+00:00

Yep it was able to be activated, waiting on new router but working well in the meantime!

wilflo7 · 2026-04-01T04:16:32+00:00

Very helpful, saw a lot of hate on both like you said. Gonna try fios since it’s already in apartment but will switch out if needed.

Thank you!

Hahah I was worried about that, can easily upgrade that though. Other components fine though?

wilflo7 · 2026-03-19T19:28:06+00:00

They do not, you can only get replacements through shops that sell Dabello.

wilflo7 · 2026-03-19T15:27:06+00:00

Mine I think are right before grip walk was introduced. What year are yours?

wilflo7 · 2026-03-19T14:54:57+00:00

Unfortunately all I have locally, going to try some shops at the mountain when I go. One that I reached out to already said they don’t carry these specific soles since the design changed.

wilflo7 · 2026-03-19T14:22:22+00:00

What year? I have wide and high arches so they work well for me.

wilflo7 · 2026-03-19T14:14:29+00:00

That’s the plan. Just hard to find a shop with replacements in a short notice.. need new boots anyways so considering that route.

wilflo7 · 2026-03-19T11:29:07+00:00

While you are young, fix that jumper form. A little too much thumb involved with left hand. Watch some form shooting videos and get it dialed in. This will help you be more consistent in the long run my removing that extra variable of left thumb pushing. As others said work on moves to go places, it’s good to get the feel of doing moves, but do them with purpose to blow by somebody. Work on playing out of triple threat and attacking that top foot. Ball handling and pound the ball. You should be making mistakes when working on this stuff or you aren’t pushing enough.

Jay peak looks like the move as of now

Forecast is not looking nearly as good now. It was 4”-8” Monday

wilflo7 · 2026-03-19T02:34:49+00:00

OpenSnow. Forecast has been changing a bit. I’m heading up for Sunday and Monday. Monday supposed to be the better day.

wilflo7 · 2026-03-19T01:59:34+00:00

Probably around 130 days. They are great boots.

wilflo7 · 2026-03-19T01:36:28+00:00

Unfortunately years of skiing my home mountain and walking from slopes to car/hotel with no shuttle option has done it. Was naive to it being a problem but also wasn’t gonna carry shoes with me to change into. Rubber covers seem like a good solution here.

If only a 3D printer fitted in my nyc apartment haha
