The Official Argue About Where Upstate NY Is Thread

[BmillsSkier]

I can hear that pic.

Brisk.

What's the order of operations for dealing with man made snow glazing on goggles? I'm a noob to riding lifts and skiing while getting blasted by artifical intelligence Ullr.

Please help a devoted, and slightly misguided, husband stuck in what I think is probably just maybe well very likely, upstate.

Smith makes and has a small ski goggle "Snow eraser" - sponge on one side, chamois on the other side. Many times that will work. There are some ski gloves that have the little rubber strip on a finger that can be used as a squeegee to get both water and that frozen crust off (al least enough to see the next spot with the frozen ice coming out of it. If you do not want to invest in new gloves, then there are also Skigee goggle wipers that are sold as mentioned above by someone else (Tognar and I've seen them at other shops usually by the cash registers as impulse items.) It has a loop to stick through a finger or thumb even (with glove or mitten still on)...

Finally a small microfiber cloth or the lens cleaning squares available in a pocket can usually get you a clear enough spot also without risking major scratches on the goggle lenses.

66!!!!

Was this the run that Timber pointed out the abrupt jump at the bottom last spring?

And are we safe in assuming that is not a stunt beer?

[m2711c]

how dare you sir?!?! that there is a dead can of dutch courage right there. i tell you what. ya need something to help steady the nerves at these speeds. no doubt. that 66 was from a few years back with a fresh louie tune..... RIP.


that 60 was from wisely scrubbing speed to avoid this here jump of death last year. finally getting old enough to rethink trying a 20 foot air to flats. ain't got the knees for that shit.





watched that thing collect victims till the sun went down.... love the optimism of todays youts. "just cuz all my budz got wrecked don't mean shit. they suck anywayz. watch this!"





ow, medic!



you can see a couple more knuckleheads just waiting for them to clear the landing zone....

A most excellent perch my friend.

[Aldo]

Ahh yes the honey hole presents itself. Day 22’s data presents valuable insight into your process.
In addition to the supersonic speeds achieved, I see what you did after run 5. You returned to your perch for a refill.

Clap clap clap

100%. From idiots in the gallery watching: we are duly impressed.

For as often as this thread is visited and as much drivel as we've spouted there has to be a way for us to monetize it. I'll leave it up to you smart guys and wait for the royalty checks. Thanks.

The skigee discussion came to mind when I saw this on Jerry of the Day just now. You gotta head over there to see it live. These poor souls are getting HAMMERED.



Anyone check in on SUF? He might have gone home for break.

Thx for the suggestions. I treated myself this season to the nicest goggles I have ever owned a pair of Smith chromag XL on way discounted sale probably because the strap is powder blue and coats 1969... but whatever... I do not want to scratch them.

Classic goggle fuck day in Maine today, I went for the thumb wipe since I couldn’t find my skigee.

I learned the thumb wipe at Bristol so it’s legit upstate tech

Oh man when I saw that earlier I felt so bad for them but then I figured that they ought to make a pretty penny from the lawsuits so being horribly uncomfortable for a few minutes might end up being not so bad.

Ski patrol on speed dial. Just in case they don't have someone always monitoring that.

[Benny Profane]

Jezuz, dudes. You call yourselves eastern skiers who should enjoy diving into snowmaking, because, you know, that's all there is sometimes? Squeegees? C'mon. Goggles cost like 200 bucks these days. Good ones. So, just take your glove off and palm your lens. Poof. Ice gone. It will be back, but, you're good until the next bad gun.

Mc2117c whatever, we should ski sometime. I can hook you up if you come to Lab or Song

we ain't talkin' saratoga here, benny... real upstate ain't spendin' no fuckin' $200 dollars for some shity bro branded plastic goggle when you can still get a pair of Scott's fer just $5. you'd save yerself enough on that there deal to be able to afford one you of them fancy skigee's.
