the scene telling of the Indianapolis is one of my all-time favorites

Perhaps mineral sunscreen is a half-measure, but its a step up from the apparent crap I have been slathering on over the years.

Thanks for this - haven't thought of sunscreen choices since the glowing Zinka 80's days. Ordered the Blue Lizard.

Agree about webbski. With Powderpigs it is morning sesh then you have lunch with your kids for an hour then afternoon sesh. So makes it harder to break away

We did Powderpigs - worked well for us for a couple seasons, but they might be all booked up for next season.

We did Friday night lessons and then later switched to Sundays. It's not officially...

A foreign substance is introduced into our precious bodily fluids without the knowledge of the individual. Certainly without any choice. That's the way your hard-core Commie works.

Great opportunity to kick off that "ski all 50 states" mission.

Joined the club over the summer and am starting to get a feel for it.....those above stats are inspiring. This thread was a little inspiration to pick up a used Concept2. I feel like I might be...

Hmmm, that could encompass a few things.


"we are looking at other geographies". Uh, states?

That happened to me once.

Called it in, left for work, spouse watched as the service tech took a second to remedy.

I am now banned from making such service calls.

One of the best goddamn frontmans out there.

I like....I like the way the line runs up the back of the stockings.

Agreed! I have missed Vince Vaughn - a show based on a Carl Hiaasen novel is a great showcase for him. A nice tonic to some of the heavier shows I watch.

Annoys me, but also amuses me at times…

Thanks Tuco! I had heard one of those but hadn't made the connection. Throwing these into the feed!

I sense the market will adjust if satellite texting becomes a thing. I'd consider a lower-cost InReach as the bomb proof back-up to my now-satellite capable texting phone.

2024-25 Winter Schedule ChangesWe are excited to share that we plan to expand our schedule next season, giving passholders more opportunities to enjoy our unique mountain areas.

The expanded schedule is a plus for me - Mondays for me at Alpental - and convincing the kids to play hooky and hit Hyak on Fridays. I think that is just for Jan/Feb.

Agree-

It was a mixed bag at best with team sports at a younger age - but swim lessons, gymnastics/parkour and skiing had better success.

Yes!

Played this for the kids this morning while getting ready for the school.

At least it pumped me up.

I risked it but thankfully it did not unleash a black hole.


The seemingly gratuitous (maybe?) umlaut also amused me.

The Black Angel’s latest album came out a year ago, but still listening to it.
