Definitely the 177. Curiosity got the better of me and I moved the bindings to -8. I’ll report back tomorrow on how it changes the feel. I ski my Renegades and Ravens at -8 and love them there. It on...

Seems pre normal from my observations of people in the backcountry

See my post above. Changed my perspective about avalanche trauma and most of the people in our small community of backcountry skiers.

I think my favorite ski without metal that was stiff, damp and stable was the G3 Reverend. I’m sure there are others

No, just the people that are worried someone will think that they’re conservative/MAGA/white nationalist. Who cares? Fly it or don’t it doesn’t matter.

The funny thing is that most of the...

I could see that, although they did ski the same slope above the exposure prior just didn’t hit the trigger. Personally I don’t think I would be comfortable skiing above that exposure, any avalanche...

The last several posts sound like a bunch of MAGAtard boomers ranting and seeking validation. Who cares what anyone thinks about the flags you fly?

I know someone that was killed in an avalanche, he had his leg torn off at the hip joint and eviscerated through the wound

Interesting, I wonder what the intent of the article is. Just a human interest piece? It’s certainly not aimed at this audience

^Did you ever ski the original Nobis Inspired? The 88 underfoot 188. Probably not as stiff but just super versatile on and off piste. Your description sounds like it.

Start with the cage in the low position and no cable tension. Adjust the low limit screw so the chain doesn’t rub on the inside of the cage and the chain doesn’t derail to the inside. Tension the...

One of the reasons they do nerve blocks before surgery is that there is some evidence that disrupting the pain channels before cutting makes the pain less severe.

Are you guys having shoulder surgery with a nerve block and no general anesthesia? That would be pretty unusual ime. Usually you get a nerve block for post op pain prior to surgery with a general...

How old are you now, around 55 iirc? If you quit your job you can take distributions from your 401k penalty free at 55 1/2. That could bridge you over until you find new work.

I’d agree that they require a specific technique but that doesn’t change the fact that they ski everything well if you can ski that way. I would say they float really well for a 104 underfoot ski...

No deductions for the people that make over say $50-60k household income. Of course just not taxing these folks would be easier

That’s why I would propose no income tax for low income people. We just need to decide what threshold that would be. Most households that have an income lower than $50k don’t pay much if any income...

I don’t think the rich should pay a higher percentage of their income(any source) they should just pay period. If you make more than a certain amount you pay a flat rate regardless, no loopholes,...

I’d be happy if people that make under $50k weren’t taxed(a lot don’t end up paying much if any income tax) and everyone else paid a flat rate with no exemptions.

You could set the no tax limit...

Why would I talk about them here? Nobody knows them. They all know the risks involved in my recreational activities and participate. Life is dangerous and short.

As far as people that I owe money...

An acceptable level of risk is what you’re comfortable with IF you understand the consequences. I think a lot of folks don’t really understand the consequences until they’re older and have...

Yeah, if you live close to a ski area and ski a lot a season pass is a bargain even if at first glance it seems like a steep price.

I’ve skied for as little as $5 a day on a pass 15 years ago....

So given your 44 days that’s less than $20 a day. Seems like a good deal to me
