I don't care. I just like giving shit to anyone who needs to justify anything beyond "I had fun skiing today"
I know city folks and flatlanders are in a constant state of competition with each other though, each trying to win their adventure more than their neighbors. Where things like "I skied onto the lift" and "parked right up front" win points beyond just enjoying yourself.
people drove up here in blizzards to do this in tahoe today
And I JUST took that capture so that's what end of the day looked like at that palisades hellhole
Some rare nice weather today, too much snow in the hills today so tried dialing in some suspension setting via urban huckz.
Is this anything like mountain folks and their snow competition?
buddy out there rode big finn hill and saint edward. there was snow in his pics. did not like. also a steep rock roll. did like.
ExactlyIs this anything like mountain folks and their snow competition?
I literally only do that to make fun of rideit's snowblower. Getting a grown ass man to go "oh yeah? Well it's better snow and there's more of it here so nyah"
Makes my fucking day every time
I actually checked hardware stores for a single stager to clear the fresh snow off my roof like westy suggested. I need to get it away from the house because I'm digging out windows at this point. Those dumb battery powered ones are the only ones I can find anymore.
I support his notion because I ski. There's nothing worse for skiing and mountain communities than vail/alterraSays the non-skier, I presume?

I give up
Some people think that only things they like to do should exist. I for one feel we need more golf courses, ski resorts, spas, yoga studios, crossfit gyms, and shopping malls to keep the people I don't like away from the places I like to do things.Says the non-skier, I presume?
Smrt.
I think we should keep the exact same amount of ski areas and just sell more and more passes to more and more people, and even ones that incentivize people from out of the area coming. And pretend like distant shareholder returns are 'community jerbs', and that quaint 1970s infrastructure won't crumble under the demand.
What you just described is why I don't go near mountainbiking anymore
Hence why I tend to get by with the already depreciated used, off lease ones. The Infiniti was off lease and her only luxury car to date.

Isn't most of that supposed to come in as rain, though? Perhaps it will clear off the roof.
they're talking fluctuating snow levels by saturday but it's supposed to snow all week.Isn't most of that supposed to come in as rain, though? Perhaps it will clear off the roof.
What it really means is that I have to get some more snow off before any of that happens.
This is good right?
I rode today with buddy Mike. It was good. First ride since around Halloween. Ooof.
Then, after, somebody backed into my car and smooshed the passenger front quarter, like saa-moooshed.
Heck.

you get ahold of the fucker?
Looks like every other wood frame house in the US.
But that didn't look like that a week ago
My next door neighbor had his collapse in 2017 and it's starting this season in the 'indicator' neighborhoods. I'm paying two guys to come over and help me unload it tomorrow
Yes. He couldn't go anywhere and was cool about everything. It'll get fixed.
Just ... gaahhhhh.
:dislike:
:like: to the ride. :dislike: to the Allroad squashing.
have you considered taking up e-bikingWhat you just described is why I don't go near mountainbiking anymore
i hear those who do it enjoy it
I probably rode an ebike before you did.
Only I made the correct decision and bought a dirtbike afterwords.
Would you like me to send you a box of dirt? Or just a sniffing jar? I almost rode my dirt bike today. . .
When did you lose your e-bike virginity?
I built one up with parts from ebikes.ca back in 2008 or 2009. thread from March 2009:
my electric bike
i built myself an electric bike. why, pray tell, given that i'm still sound of mind and body, at least by most accounts? the answer is power. electric assist is the difference between a) cruising up a decent grade at 18 mph in street clothes and shoes with cargo, contributing moderate pedaling...

I should have known I had no chance of out dorking you.
Made the mistake of calling my stepmother. Forgot that now that my father is dead she feels it is her responsibility to convince me of worn out right wing conspiracy theories.
I've been consistently right* for so many years, it's tiring.Oh god. You 'win.' By a longshot

* from my own "unique" perspective, heh
You have 'horrendously wrong earlier' confused with right I think.I've been consistently right* for so many years, it's tiring.
It's a bit like bragging about being a russian antisemite before the nazis. Yeah you may have claim to the protocols of the elders being first and stuff but that shouldn't really be the goal.
I rode a 29er in 1999 and I learned the correct lesson.
When the front wheel hitting your foot was a major problem?
Sounds like a road bike. Not even the shitty gary fishers did that
But it definitely involved flexy wheels (still a thing), loss of nimble handling, and a rear wheel up my ass every time I tried to gap over something.
Nah, too big and too black for my liking.
Seriously, nice ride! Lots of seatpost showing, did you get a too small frame?
ain't nobody heard of them that things called chains that are kind of useful on icy roads?www.instagram.com
If this happened in front of me, I would legit pull out the driver of that jeep and murder him.
And then thank his corpse for at least hitting the tesla first
No idea, ask them. Those are your neighbors not mine.
That's when you tell her that Antifa has kidnapped Trump and substituted look alike spouting crazy stuff to discredit his brilliant leadership and let her run with it
