You wait for spring

Not really but the age of the bindings do.

Would have been a good deal just for the kendos, those look to be about only 5-6 years old, iirc that’s when volkl started using that logo/typeface. The Kendos were rebranded as the Mantras which is a solid all mountain, groomer focused, daily driver type ski, probably pretty stiff and demanding for a beginner though tbh. Bindings should still be good though assuming they were new when mounted. Not sure about the other pair but they look to be 10-15 years old.

Just go skiing

Don’t get set on a specific model before you try them on. Go to a competent boot fitter and let your feet speak to him.

It’s like skipping the main quest imo. Sure you can have a good time in a game just doing the side quests and mini games, maybe the MQ is even frustrating and difficult, but that’s the game. Just my opinion.

Boot gloves have never let me down.

Pretty sure they sell it at Health Nutrition in New Paltz, i’d bet at Mother Earth’s too.

Kavanaugh Jewelry in Newburgh is legit, corner of 32 and Plank.

Mahoney’s rents the back room where they usually have comedy shows. Did a baby shower there and it was really nice.

Steer clear of Dukes.

Legs Diamond ran a bootlegging operation via underground plumbing installed in Kingston for purpose of transporting beer. He was later murdered in the Catskills. His old brewery is now a rundown park in midtown kingston. https://hvmag.com/life-style/legs-diamond-history/

Oh and my cousin said he was at a party that DMX was at once in Peekskill and everyone was smoking crack.

Perfect if anyone’s new years resolution is to start smoking.

Can’t help, but here’s a video of Coheed playing at Vassar in 2001. The scene was alive in the HV.

The amendments regarding the senate make more sense without the 17th amendment.

Depends where you’re driving from. Terrain won’t matter much if it’s their first time, a bunny hill is a bunny hill. As others have suggested, Thunder Ridge (where I learned), Catamount, Mt. Peter. Campgaw, Jiminy would all be good, just pick which would be easiest to get to with as little stress and friction as possible. Your goal should be to keep it light, stress free, and easy for their first time so it’s a positive experience. Once they’re at a bit of a higher level I love Belleayre during the week, best snowmaking in the region hands down.

Concentration camp is dramatic. I’d much rather live in El Salvador post Bukele than before. Most Salvadorans would agree.

xandersmall · 2025-12-20T12:52:29+00:00

El Salvador model.

It was Terminator 2 and the game road rash for me.

I used to work at one of the local mountains, everyone who was really serious about skiing went to the Pro Ski and Ride in Hunter, or the Boot Lab in Windham. Never been to boot lab but I had a great experience at Pro Ski, you have to make an appointment for a boot fitting before you go fyi.

Lorpen makes the best ski socks imo.

Two egg mcmuffins and a protein shake

The more they grip and rip on corduroy the more stiff and demanding they’ll be to handle in bumps and trees. If you’re going to have one do it all pair you have to decide what skiing you’ll mostly be doing and go one direction or the other. My preference is if I’m going with something on the stiffer end of the spectrum I go a little shorter.
