Surely you are not comparing the vast, beautiful, fresh powder of Chile to one lift line of dirty summer slush in Oregon (in the heat). Not saying that wouldn't be fun for a day, but come on
Not at all. Just thought if the guy wanted to get 200 days in a season, Palmer would be closer than South America.
And leave it to a snowboarder to talk trash about that sweet spring and summer slush. Hop on a pair of skis this spring and have some fun!

I'm going the first winter after all of my kids are in College, but that's a long way away. I plan on doing a full Alps tour one year.... and a South American tour during the summer. My wife might divorce me, but I'd love to get 200 days of skiing in a year!
You don’t have to go to Chile. In a good snow year the Palmer lift at Timberline runs until Labor Day.

I don’t know anything about the Shoguns but seeing Bents and Enforcers on the same list is surprising. I’ve heard nothing but good things about the Rustler 10, you might also take a look at the Nordica Unleashed 98 and Rossignol Sender 100s for skis that are supposed to be damp but still playful (and sort of in that sweet spot between the Bents and Enforcers).
I’m super happy with my Ripstick 102s as daily drivers but I do wish for something damper and stabler when the snow gets chopped up. But man, they’re so fun to ski. Not a twin tip (I think all the skis on your list were twin tips) but so easy to pivot and throw around I have no problem skiing switch and doing reverts. Don't hold an edge in ice like a pure carving ski, but once you find that sweet spot and how much pressure the ski wants, you're in for a fun ride. Happy hunting!

re: Best HYSA
Posted by Bunsbert Montcroff on 8/12/26 at 12:42 pm to tigergal918
I'm in VMFXX which is yielding 3.6 but it is a money market fund rather than a HYSA. There are subtle differences that are worth reading about (it's still insured but SIPC rather than FDIC) and you could lose money if the fund's net asset value drops below 1 dollar, but if Vanguard's money market funds "break the buck," I am guessing we are in deeper trouble than just that.

riding the bike park at bogus basin this summer and wondering when they'll uncover the giant pile of snow and start spreading it for winter:
Wrapping Snow in Blankets - Can it Save the Ski Season? (NPR)
will probably ride at bogus for most of the season, hard to beat a resort 20.5 miles and 40 minutes from my front door. if we get a decent winter will certainly want to hit some of the smaller, independent resorts close by to support them. brundage is high on the list, but smaller resorts like pomerelle, solider, and anthony lakes in oregon are all within 2.5 hours.
also got a touring setup at the end of last winter and got a few short tours in. hoping to head back and visit in-laws in OR/WA this summer to ski the volcanoes. was there in late june and the palmer lift was still running at timberline, and if we'd gotten a normal winter the worm flows route up mt st helens and camp muir at rainier would have been totally doable.

I am just throwing this out here as a thought and to hear the reasons that people can come up with not to call Pog someone who is doping....
Assume the entire peloton is on something that enhances performance that isn’t banned yet…does anything come close to the advantage that EPO provided to riders of that era?
I guess one could argue that Tadej and UAE have the best drugs, but even if they do does it come close to the fitness the riders in the 90s and early 2000s got from EPO?

lance may be a little out of touch. juniors coming up now didn't grow up idolizing or watching lance dominate. he's the guy from dad's era who cheated and got caught and banned. even juniors here in the US (and honestly at least out west NICA is siphoning talent/resources from USAC right now so road racing isn't even cool anymore even where you can find road races) only know lance second hand from dad and uncles. the vibe i get is that the Gen Z cyclists don't know much about Lance and more importantly don't care.

You might be right, but some of this seems feigned. You can see fireworks at European soccer matches. There are ginormous rest area/gas stations along the Autobahn in Germany with full-service restaurants and sparkling clean restrooms.

Without a warrant, and without him being able to reach into the bag for a weapon, what legal right did LEO have to search the bag at that point?
They should have just gotten a warrant.
LEO think Terry means they can lie and create any situation involving any random threat and violate out 4A rights.
I have zero knowledge of the law, but I'm interested in the process - if the gun was later inventoried at police HQ as a result of a more thorough search of the backpack, how can that evidence be introduced at trial?
Especially if the arrest was based on what the police initially found in the backpack? Or did they base the arrest on some other factor, and that allows them to search the backpack more extensively at HQ?
