Two questions regarding the dirty/other bootpack/lane:

1) Is it legal (usually a pretty obvious yes/no)

2) Will taking the dirty/other line impede or slow the progress of those who waited in...

Thanks ... but at sub-300 posts, your e-cred is not high enough and it obviously would be stupid for anyone to pay attention to this input.
(and shear frames don't quite send the same comparative...

This was kinda a stupid response to start with because it made so many Bro assumptions.


Just in case you missed it, the questions were:
Has anyone used one of these:...

The device I posted a picture of costs $69. For you, I'll do a special deal on the precision instrument shown below- only $50! After you've done your tests to establish accuracy, created procedures...

Useful input, though with different instruments and contradictory experience ... or maybe Hohes isn't "experienced" :fmicon:
That is the input I was looking for. Thanks.



Then I might as well...

Hugh, Sir, with all due respect, please stop:

1) being such a dick and
2) demonstrating that you have never measured anything to do with snow

You have the theory correct, but obviously have...

Another "1% accurate" device ... sounds exactly the same as the brooks range 100cc but at twice the price. Have people selling these devices ever measured density?

"Snow density measurements are accurate to within 1% to the trained eye, with a scale reading from 0% to 60% in 5% increments"

So the web site says ....
Is your eye trained?

Maybe a Slide Zone topic, but just as appropriate here?

What do you think of it? (The claim of 1%...

You have great potential young Grasshopper! I should have acknowledged that at the very least, you are trying to better your knowledge of skis (and thus most likely, of all other things in life)....

The few I know with this gear (bought over 5 years ago) have been happy with it, but it does not have the stylish steeze of 'teryx or Mammut.

My last custom order turned out pretty well. It...

How hot does your garage get in summer and how big are the diurnal temperature swings?
Basement is probably quite stable temperature wise.

That's a crap attitude. You said you were selling "good to high end frontside skis" not entry level skis. The flex & camber (and mass) of skis with otherwise equal dimensions can give very different...

I'm a hotbox JONG (except for when we smokes out the Van, man) ... but,
How much difference do people think it makes?
If I do a quick wax every 4-5 days of skiing how much benefit do you get from...

That's what your mom said last night as well ....

Boom, tisssh
(sorry, it was just tee'd up so well)

^^^ As far as these things go, I thought the preachy-ness was very minimal. IMHO it was a quality package.

Equally as impressive as the story, this is how to make a vid and give a presentation...

I am putting these on my RAX and will heart-carve it switch to the road

Skiing is awesome, but it doesn't provide the intellectual stimulation of other career options. Taking a few seasons off from the "real world' was cool, but I couldn't survive in a place where the...

When is the last time that chair operated?
I've never seen it spinning.

Screw the training! If you're gonna' ski the Bowl, you're gonna need a Montage!

Isn't that why Intelligent Design invented Punitive Damages? All you need to do is find some equally scum-sucking-bottom-dweller attorney that can smell the cash and hit them up for a suit. Nothing...

50% of college students in the Rocky Mtns are there to ski, drink and fuck. However, based on what I saw tonight, 50% of those are quite fuckable.

The value of a bachelors degree is on a continual...

What do you want, "lifestyle and the mountains" or an education? Ever heard of in-state tuition rather than attending a hipster college in another country?

Have you applied for a mortgage lately? That is NOT happening. Banks (Chase, Wells Fargo, BoA) are adjusting rates based only on the total nominal profit they will make on a transaction. The risk of...

What it comes down to is that a huge amount of "money" or "wealth" was lost. The question is, who should be taking it in der poopenhaus with this loss. I say "wealth" as it wasn't anything real....

This thread comes down to the Individual good vs the Common good.

Individual good says to do what's best for me, and only me, and fuck the rest of you because some other individual will probably...

For A'T, as manufacturing went to China, quality wasn't quite the same as the Canadian made stuff ... or so all the whining on the blogs say. Note that both A'T and Patagucci cost a shitload of cash....

How about Blurred, a mic and a turntable? :fmicon:

I'm having a hard time thinking of such a company. I guess it depends on what you call "mass" sales.

Look at The North Face - they used to make core gear, now they make gear for wearing to campus,...

How long would you be there? 1, 5, 10 years?

Do you plan to live in the ex-pat bubble?

How are you with heat, humidity and smog?

Definitely not a hater. MD9 always brings the stoke, has the best of intentions and only posts positive items. I'm a fan. (So maybe my first post here was a bit out of line)

Just trying to make...

Well, don't forget to compound the interest .. which if you assume a 3% return, you'd end up with ~$14,800 .... and that's a liquid asset, so if you need cash because you didn't stick that 60ft'er...

Minor doesn't matter ... what matters is what you can do and where/when you have demonstrated what you can do.

If the minor shows some broad interest, fine. If it's used as a crutch, you're...

Dude - I hate to bitch you out because you throw some pretty rad-gnar stoke ... but for the love of god .. learn to do some math and contemplate concepts like discount rate, liquidity, volatility,...

If you can't deal with a slot rescue, you probably shouldn't be rock climbing unsupervised.

I'm sure people will say I sound like a dick, but ropework is to climbing like avy skills are to skiing....

I don't do shit in the "defense industry", but given all the dick waving by various people in this thread, it makes me wonder ...

What skills do you have?
What knowledge do you have?

This guy certainly appeals to a certain portion of the electorate ... it's funny that these Boss Hogg supporters call their exact same demographic "gun waving fundamentalists" when they live half way...

Yeah, OK, your guard went down a lot, few will deny that (I didn't see the need to add critical words - you knew it already). To err is human. Doesn't mean you're going to be pleased with yourself...

My cases were not as dramatic as your one when it came to consequences. On several occasions (1 skiing, 1 climbing and 1 hiking) I had the displeasure of standing, watching someone go for a big ride...

Intense read. Thanks for sharing.
