re: Mikaela Shiffrin...Most overhyped and underdelivered US Olympic Athlete ever?

Think Dan Marino. Really good when younger. then never got to the top of the big game but was great in the regular season. Unlike Dan, Mikaela won the big game at the end of her career.
she won her first gold medal at 18.
and she's won 3 gold medals in 3 separate olympics.
not sure how the dan marino analogy works...

Can only give the death penalty for someone's death.
Is that accurate? I think treason is punishable by death, so I wonder how to square that with the idea that the death penalty is reserved for crimes in which someone is killed.

out west we've been dealing with this shite winter, teasing snow and just raining, high-pressure systems that block storms from coming though, and temperatures way too high to blow snow since October.
re: How is it possible to ski with a torn ACL?

She hooked a gate. That just means she was cutting it as close as she could. However, she had gotten way to wide and low on the previous gate and it likely put her off line for the gate she hooked.
can you tell if it was her arm or pole? it almost looks like the basket caught on the gate as she was skiing by.
also wonder if it would have made any difference if she was using a gate guard on the pole like slalom racers. or if she was running the leki trigger poles and if they should have released?

33 dollars and a 17-minute video that essentially says "stay out of the back seat"? i can tell you that for the low price of 10 bucks :lol:

Gonna be an agonizing weekend in the 50s, but we are getting close to having snow again
skied today until the slush wore my legs out.
had perfectly-groomed corduroy, spring slush, and mashed potatoes...all in a single run depending on the shade and aspect. at least it meant getting above the inversion.
forecast looks promising and is holding every time I refresh it (you don't know how many times we've had snow in the forecast and at the last minute it turns to rain or misses us). hope everyone in the west gets februBURIED!
re: JW Marriott Desertridge Resort and Spa in Scottsdale/North Phoenix
Posted by Bunsbert Montcroff on 2/5/26 at 9:26 am to GulfSouthTiger
it's in a suburban area surrounded by a giant shopping center, but there's stuff to do at the hotel (like the water park another poster mentioned).
closest trails are going to be the ones at reach 11 but those aren't especially nice. phoenix sonoran preserve north isn't far and is worth the hike. in the other direction towards scottsdale there are also trails worth hitting (brown's ranch, mcdowell sonoran preserve, etc). camelback is a climb and will be crowded, but i guess is the iconic hike. a little further south the trails in and around dreamy draw will be less crowded and just as good. lots of trailheads to access.
another poster mentioned the phoenix zoo, but if you're used to the audubon zoo in new orleans it will be a huge letdown. desert botanical garden is a much better bet and more impressive IMO.
desert ridge isn't in a bad spot - you're at the intersection of the 51 (which will take you south back toward town) and the 101 (which will drop you into south scottsdale), with easy access to 17 if you decide to head north to sedona.

I mean, the marketing of her is that she's pretty and a high performer. I fail to see how she differs from any other elite athlete
Mikaela Shiffrin is cuter, younger, and arguably the greatest ski racer of all time, man or woman.
* Don't get me wrong: what Vonn has done is super impressive, especially at her age.

Man, it's a sad day when the last post on the Ski Thread prior to this was 5 days ago. It will snow more in Florida this week than in Park City.
Yup, that's why I haven't visited the thread in a bit. Not much to talk about unless you're on the East Coast :lol:
17/92 trails open at my local mountain. We got 8 inches one day over a very shallow base and of course I scratched the shite out of my skis going off trail. Nothing a little P-Tex and a tune couldn't fix, I guess.
Have just been lapping groomers all season, so silver lining is that at least my carving is improving. Maybe I'll hit the park next!

Delta refunded us $14.60 each.
Sorry for the silly question, but did they refund the points back as well? Or because it was bought with Chase points and not Delta Sky Miles, they gave you the (low) cash amount?
I guess the Chase and Capital One cards that accrue points for travel give one more options than just a single carrier or hotel chain, but is this the trade off?

Ski season doesn't start until January in my mind. Anything before that is lagniappe. December always has poor conditions and a shite load of people packed onto limited terrain. I live 25 minutes from the resort and usually only make it up like once until after the holidays
Both statements can be accurate - anything before Christmas can be lagniappe and we can be at the lowest snowpack and snow-water-equivalent in recorded history (at least here in the PNW).

Got my first turns of the season this weekend at Bogus Basin, which had 1 lift and 1 run open (along with a terrain park serviced by a carpet). At least we're skiing...on a 4 inch base. This time last year the entie frontside of the mountain was wide open.
Mid-to-long term forecast doesn't look good for the PNW and SW Idaho, more rain and record highs. Wish it wasn't such a long flight to the East Coast, would book a trip to Stowe or Jay Peak.

i mean, not to get too theological but one could make a strong argument that christianity is a religion about jesus, not the religion of jesus.
jesus preached an idiosyncratic version of judaism. you could argue that paul was the true founder of christianity (while still acknowledging jesus christ as our lord and savior).

that sentiment gets president trump elected but also other candidates who don't conform to the status quo (like muslim socialists with no real-world experience).
