Some guy writes about their experience here:

Sorry about the ankle weakness, but I'm glad to hear you can work thru most of the neuropathy now. Weirdly I had foot cramping like that years before I had cancer–not always but sometimes.

I went...

Why is evo so slow to ship? I know i shouldn't be bitching about free shipping but I ordered on 4/8 and tracker finally says the shipment's been accepted...5 days later on 4/13. Now scheduled arrival...

Ah glad it goes away eventually. Problem with over hydration during outdoor activities is carrying more water and having more pee breaks...I figure my partners will just have to deal with the latter...

Trackhead and/or other chemo survivors, do you get muscles cramping up randomly as a part of your lasting effects? Happens to my calves and it’s a real pain. Wondering if anything has worked out or...

Get your kid an OBD2 reader, he’s probably good at googling and with a ‘13 euro car he’ll be getting a lot of use out of it

Not that he has to be the one doing the work, but it’s a start at not...

Dude is gonna be popular in prison. Conned a few billions by his 30s? Living in a polycule? Seriously his fellow inmates will have nothing but respect for him

Thank you Joe Lieberman

That said the past 2 years I had over $1M of medical costs (inflated insurance rate) covered by insurance simply paying my <$4k OOP max for 2, now 3 years. After the first...

Literally what I did for 23/24. Committing for spring 2024 which should make it a bountiful season for me hopefully

Looks like Caltrans says 395 is closed from Bishop to Bridgeport so yurt guy's wife is getting her refund?

These are made of neoprene and can take up volume similarly to foam but without adhesives. I suppose they are harder to customize

You think the Baldy lifts will open up? Haven’t had a chance to go yet so pretty stoked since I missed out on last year

Thank you much! Looks like moving the dynafit heel back a bit could get the clearance needed while still within adjustment zone. Or shift the dynafit back 5mm and split the difference on the mounts.

Any idea if Speed Radicals and Warden 11s would see screw hole overlap? My template overlaws on photoshop say us but easily remedied by shifting ~1cm, but just wanted to see if others know for sure

I caught my very gear-and-shopping averse girlfriend ogling black crows skis while at the shop, I don't know if it's their distinctive topsheets and/or because they're featured heavily in the ski...

Silencer and machine gun charges though, wtf. Not exactly responsible people

Apologies for the super **jong**tastic post but I want to replace my skis and with so many closeout deals now, I'm wondering what people's experiences have been.

Currently on BD Helio 95 for 3...

Sweet thanks that's what I was wondering. The bindings are still on skis and seem fine, I'm just contemplating this before transferring bindings to new skis and maybe converting the old skis to use...

Total newbie here. Can I reuse screw holes from a mount once binding screws have been removed or are they toast and require new glue or redrill?

I went to college in NYC at the ripe age of 18. I drop in from time to time and haven't gone in visitor mode in a while, but here are some recs from art history classes or wandering the city during...

i’m three weeks too late but Two Guys From Sweden on venice blvd is a solid shop on the westside

Surprised no one's disrupted this by starting an on-mountain food delivery service
Maybe make it members-only so you're not really purchasing the food, just "sharing it", in case the resort people...

Anyone have experience with the tairin hubs? Seem to be a pawl design with a disconnect that makes it similarly silent, and comes in a bit cheaper. Onyx seems proven durability wise though

Appreciate the beta, looks like Rose and Sugar Bowl are the ones to check out. Can't wait to try the lift-served BC at SB.

The partner and I are planning to go pass-less this year, especially since we didn't buy into the mega pass early rates. Anyone know how good the "alternative" resorts in the Tahoe area are? Eg....

Any regular joe can join the American Alpine Club and get 20-40% off a lot of brands.

Go thru an online retailer and that discount instead goes toward free shipping/returns/support costs. Buy...

For real. I'm in remission and maintenance too. What a great tribute and a reminder to make memories doing whatever we love with however long we have left.

Fucking health care system. Too bad we're all only getting older and dealing with it more.

**specifically the health insurance cos.

Definitely walk and keep up the exercise to whatever degree she is comfortable with. I found that fresh air did wonders for my nausea. Anemia may be a problem for strenuous activity, so can't go too...

While on high dose steroids for my treatment, I had a near mental breakdown while trying to parallel park. They sure do mess you up

Sorry I don't have too much to add. Fuck cancer, indeed

You have good questions but the right now AI work is all quite obviously derivative (you can argue that all art is derivative but artists tend to have a bit more originality). If we use the AI models...

This isn't a bad option but high yield savings accounts like Wealthfront are 4.3% APY and for me it's easier to let it sit than to make sure something is set up correctly.

Got medical expenses coming up and ready to drop for a Chase Preferred–any idea if there are sign up bonuses > 60K points?

Might bite. Are these standard or MNC variant?

Good to know, thanks

Exped has a new Icefall pack which goes up to 50L at right around 1kg and should have a removable waist belt and larger avy pocket, with the same general design as the Serac. Euro sites have it at...

IRS is delaying this 1 year

Thanks greg for the templates. Any idea how the brake compatibility goes? Can demo and non demo use the same brakes? What about between Warden 11 demo and Warden 13 demo?

I mean in light of the Alec Baldwin shooting you really think the producers would be willing to have folks climb and risk a piece of trad pro blowing out or the climbers messing up their MP rope...

I'll bite, sending PM

Inspired by you I had my product design engineer girlfriend CAD up these wedges that I printed since I'm worthless at CAD.

They work well but I think the ramp angle is probably too aggressive now...

Good call on the infill.
For accuracy there's an instructables page here that suggests casting a model using clay or play-dough, but then they use a 3d scanning app to just create the model later....

Has anyone printed their own insoles? There's a website that lets you design orthotics based off an STL of your foot, which you can use an iPhone to scan if you don't have your own 3d scanner. Would...

It really is. Just whipped this one up, it's incredible how many concepts it can grasp despite lacking any real expertise

Went on an easy hike in Stowe yesterday and it truly kicked my ass. Bummer I think I'll be sitting this touring season out until I recover more. I still have 1.5 cycles of chemo before maintenance...

welp indeed

The food there while good, did feel a bit cliche. Curious to see what the new owners will do...if an Indian family bought it (like a lot of other gas stations in CA) I actually wouldn't be...

I guess my metric for cheap is relative to across the state border in areas like Tahoe and Mammoth, also compared to Bozeman and Boulder
Will the supply of water from the Sierra snowmelt hold up?

Maybe I missed it but what's wrong with the Reno area? Seems like homes are still cheap, and there's good access to mountains and a real airport with flights to major cities. Doesn't seem to have the...

I think Crete was probably mentioned in this thread due to the NYTimes article on skiing there, but here's a recent write-up on Wildsnow as well. Apres ski gyro truck fuck yeah...
