It is worth reaching out and asking, especially if you have a BEMSID you can dig up.

Just throwing this out here but if you are a:



current Boeing employee
a retiree or a former employee in good standing
a spouse, sibling, child, or parent of someone who is #1 or #2

Second one for me and definitely won't be the last.

One of these (New Zealand 2028?) I'm eventually going to skin/climb a mountain to experience it from the summit.

Stare longer next time, it'll get a loooooot darker

Simplicity might depend on how techy you are but I haven't regretted buying into the Ubiquiti Unifi ecosystem. Prosumer and rock solid in my experience.

This might be common knowledge for some but just in case anyone else was curious and didn't know:

Tap into the kid's college fund but I think these people can handle a wedding that big and it is an amazing spot on a nice day. Not WA though

No, thank you!

Props to upallnight for the fair price, lighting fast shipping, and the minty Zero G 85 skis

PM incoming on the Sopris

Hah, the world is a funny thing for sure. Money's been sent and looking forward to abusing them this Spring.

Might actually be intentional. Unless she's got a physically dirty job it exposes the actual filthy side and protects the aesthetic side from excessive wear and fading.

I responded and apologized directly as well but its equally important for me to publicly take my share of the mess. I should have worded my first post better and unquestionably had a heavy hand in...

You're right.

I cannot express how sincerely confused I am about where the disconnect is but I can only assume, upallnight, that you're a good person in real life. Online has a weird way of...

Not a bootfitter but as far as I understand one can't readily/easily add gripwalk soles to boots that weren't initially designed to take them.

Yaktrax does makes SkiTrax that greatly help walking...

You know that's not how the conversation went down or even in the order it went down, I sincerely don't understand why you keep on trying to twist this up and bend the truth.

If you had countered...

I swear this has been like talking to a brick wall...



You never named your own price on what I messaged you about. Offering me something else that I never expressed interest in isn't that.
...

Man, I knew I should have softened that language a bit but there was no mischaracterization.

I asked if the suggested pricing (half off current retail) in the pinned gear swap post was okay,...

PMed, assuming they're still available

Free bump I guess but I'm out. Didn't like my offer or comparables but wouldn't name his own price.

Some neoprene (cut from an old thrift store wetsuit for extra points) or maybe Masterfit Eliminator Shin pads might be avenues worth exploring?

That's what I decided going from a Hawx Ultra XTD to a Transalp Pro Carbon

Without playing 20 questions it is difficult to say for certain but I'd hazard a guess that it wasn't the nature of the ski design specifically.

I have skied the 184 and 189 Asyms a whole bunch...

Maybe I misread the report, but I thought he survived and the other rider (who had an airbag but also failed to deploy) was the fatality.

Either way a tragedy admittedly.

All these devices have drawbacks.

I'd be curious to see the statistics on how many skiers trust they can insert the mouthpiece in time vs just always descend with it in.

The statistics would...

Just spit balling here (and obviously both styles require a blending of rotary, pressure, and angulation) but a wider stance would open up your hip more and give you greater access to rotational...

As someone with a foot shaped like a pizza slice with a toothpick stuck in the pointy end, this is the way.

Two foot steering as opposed to what?

I think the confusion is that airbags are less effective below treeline because of the higher risk from impact trauma and that's being conflated into being actively harmful?

I've never seen any...

Both made by Pomoca, incidentally

My conspiracy theory has always been that they took it off unlimited IKON and upped the price to maintain revenue while reducing demand while they rebuilt the base area.

Now that the construction...

No idea as to an offer but color me interested regarding the Zero G 85

Why two triggers?

I imagine that they'd beef up the battery and fan on the airbag and just have a second stage "low speed fan" mode that's keeping the bag full and pumping excess air towards the...

Glad people are catching on to the tib:femur ratio and how it affects things. Average ratio of T/F is 0.80±0.03 (according to this study: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26398436/ ) and I'm closer to...

Rather have an airbag personally but one can only assume they're hoping to eventually come out with a combo unit.

Ignore

You'd think but I have seen skiers wear them a number of times in our beginner area, complete with kneepads.

Totally, and with the understandable caveat that armchair quarterbacking biomechanics over the Internet is definitely a fool's errand, he was comparing a relatively flat Pivot to a touring binding...

"Harder to push on the shovels" sounds like a need for a toe shim, not a heel shim. You're getting that activation point further away from the ball of your foot otherwise

I carpet tested both side-by-side and the Skorpius has much better ROM but unfortunately, for me, the heel hold was worse and there was enough problematic fit issues with the instep right where the...

Any reports on driving a heavier touring ski like a 187 BGT110?

Trying to replace some Hawx Ultras that never fit quite right with something that has better ROM (most important) and lighter (less...

It's a bot/spammer for a Dubai moving company that's reposting an old comment, I wouldn't expect too much from them.

G3's Bonesaw has a more universal attachment system compared to the BCA's need for adjustable touring poles.

...plus it has a bottle opener

Not saying Teslas aren't touchscreen heavy, but that dude should have read his manual. Every model has physical windshield wiper controls on either the steering wheel or on a stalk.

Weirdly, I haven't found any extra restrictions from the TSA on non-removable lithium batteries.

The entire controversy is that the IATA's description of smart luggage with non-removable...

I do think $200 is a fair price for a lightly used one and with some patience it'll eventually sell, just on the north end of the price range right now. $175ish is a guaranteed sale, $150 is an...
