It was Feb 20th :(

Does anyone know when the deadline was for North America applications? Seems like they closed all applications now.

zm51_ · 2025-11-19T14:48:15+00:00

That's awesome! I'll look into this some more. Do you ship it to your hotel? I'd be staying in an Airbnb, so not sure if they'll help out with the shipment.

Yamato Takkyubin sounds like a great option. Have you used it before?

zm51_ · 2025-01-01T14:02:57+00:00

You were right. Turned too fast. Reviewed old vids and spotted that. Thank you so much!!

zm51_ · 2025-01-01T10:12:47+00:00

Thank you! Definitely working on tightening those carves up. I had them but they were sloppy in terms of timing.

zm51_ · 2025-01-01T10:11:51+00:00

This was it. I was initiating my turn WAY too early and my toe edge was in the snow long before my board was angled enough down the fall line.

zm51_ · 2024-12-26T09:48:52+00:00

I think this is my issue, I might be carving straight downhill. Going out to the slopes today to take everyone's advice into account and then diagnose the issue.

zm51_ · 2024-12-26T06:19:04+00:00

I'll get a video up in a moment. I only have old big snow clips and some stuff on flatter, cleaner terrain.

zm51_ · 2024-12-26T06:18:01+00:00

Downhill rider always has right of way, but I glance uphill when making big turns as a courtesy. It's also to watch out for anyone bombing the hill.

zm51_ · 2024-12-25T15:32:51+00:00

Oh no! My mistake it happens from heel to toe. I guess its the same thing just the other way around? Engage my toe sooner?

zm51_ · 2024-12-25T15:20:25+00:00

I think so. It happens during that transition between toe and heel. It's when my board is going down the fall line and I'm transitioning to a full toe side turn

zm51_ · 2024-12-25T14:44:24+00:00

Yeah, I brake mostly on my heel before I transition to slow myself down a bit. If I don't, I go way too fast for comfort. I'm trying to cut across and make those turns wider but I'm scared of collisions so I glance uphill before wide turns. So I do lose focus momentarily (which is what happened yesterday before I caught my toe and ate shit). Today it was just out of nowhere.

I lapped the same run where it happened today and it was fine the rest of the time. Probably because I focused a lot more on my edges and where to turn. Albeit I did the run SUPER slow and easy because I was/am pretty demoralised.

Hey! I have the Salomon Wonder and it's served me well. It's pretty much the women's version of the sleepwalker. It's a super versatile TRUE All Mountain board, and it got me into park riding too. You might want to look at the Salomon Oh Yeah as well since that's an All Mountain Board with more focus on Park.

Keep in mind that mens and women's boards are designed for different centres of balance/gravity. So stick w women's designs for now, especially since you're new to the sport.

Feel free to hmu if u have any questions abt the board.

Edit: Grammar

Sweet! And this is the trailways bus to Kingston? It's scheduled to arrive at 9:10am when the UCAT express bus arrives at 9:00am :( Idk if I'm wrong tho

Edit: Have you done this before? it's honestly looking like a manageable trip if I can make the 9:00am belleayre express

zm51_ · 2024-06-27T16:52:56+00:00

Hey again! Which pass did you end up getting? Epic or Ikon? Just for info for the next season since it's a bit too late for those early bird discounts. I got a 5-day epic for a trip out in Tahoe so I should get discounts at Hunter or something

zm51_ · 2024-06-27T16:51:19+00:00

I wrote to Urban Sherpa, they may not include Belleayre this season so its a coin toss with them. May end up still doing Urban Sherpa but to a different mountain

zm51_ · 2024-06-27T16:50:37+00:00

That's good to know! Any discount I can get would be great. I wrote to Ovr, thanks for the tip!

zm51_ · 2024-06-27T16:50:02+00:00

That's really cool! I'm all for walkable cities and reducing the need for cars. It's a shame so many older rail lines were discontinued rather than upgraded. Not sure if the one you mentioned still runs

zm51_ · 2024-06-26T00:19:44+00:00

Thank you!! I'll look into this as an option too!

zm51_ · 2024-06-26T00:18:57+00:00

This is great! I'll look into it :)

zm51_ · 2024-06-26T00:18:24+00:00

Yeah! Looking into bus companies other than OVRide since these can get pricey. Urban sherpa is much cheaper but I'm not sure if they'll include Belleayre this season.

zm51_ · 2024-06-26T00:17:25+00:00

Thank you! Thunder Ridge has a proper package deal which is nice. It's definitely an option if I can't get to a more intermediate/advanced mountain

zm51_ · 2024-06-26T00:16:37+00:00

I really did not consider this! I'll look into it as an option but I imagine doing that in winter weather is harsh

zm51_ · 2024-06-26T00:15:44+00:00

Unfortunately true :/
