Cyanicenine80inches of snow predicted in the mountains for the next week. The holidays are already an epic shit show at the mountains, I can't imagine this monster storm causing anything but mass chaos and very little people actual being able to get to the mountains and ski. Good for the people that live slope side I suppose.
CyanicenineSince I can't seem to find any ladies my age to go into the park I'm just training up new skiers. For some reason I can't get people that have been skiing for years to go into the park, but ladies that have never skied in their lives are like "the park looks fun!" Not complaining though, at least I'm getting some ladies in the park finally!
nmwninjartThats so cool!
I'm Still the only lady regular in the parks here which sucks.... It makes progression difficult.
MinggBought an at home IPL laser hair removal device. Recommended by a friend who works in a medi-spa. It's not exactly as "good" as the lasers they have but its the same technology intended for home use. Only $200 and doesn't hurt(it's warm when you click the button but no pain). It takes about 4-12 weeks to see results and like all laser it's not permanent but I'm excited to give it a try. I mean, even if it only does 50% of what a real laser treatment would, thats still pretty cheap and worth it as opposed to spending 1200-1500 for it. So I'm excited to try!
CyanicenineWhich one did you get? Let us know how it goes. I've always assumed I can't use those devices since I have freckles, sounds like a dream if it works though.
larilinesignYesterday we got some of the basics of tandem skiing down, but John still has to call out the left/right/spin commands to me until we figure out a backpack speaker to do the moves to. Im thinking "I feel it coming" by The Wknd. Like the Superbowl last year, one of our first dates.
The red chair at skibowl after 7 pm has the best conditions for us to practice. We almost got the tandem quadruple left spin (!), but hung up our massive twin tips in the last 180 degrees and had to separate.
Today trying to clean up the tandem skiing for steeper slopes at Tline (ultimate goal is to be able to do like 100 spin moves from top of Palmer to bottom of Summit) and maybe try a couple of those figure 8 western swing moves at Skibowl. John is a very talented dancer, but I still have trouble fully giving my skis to him to lead.
No funny hat, but we've got some solid matching outfits, as usual - cheetah print underneath and candy blue top and bottom shells. Just like the French Olympic team!
We got a bud and bud lite from hoodlum mart (only $3.65 for 2 tall boys) and spun around for an hour hollering "Hell Yeah!" with those though. That's what Budman is probably up to today. John rode a chairlift with him at Copper Dewtour and was dazzled by his creativity and skill
nmwninjartIs there video of this happening? gotta see this!
CyanicenineSad to see how quiet lady gabber has gotten. I'll contribute https://www.instagram.com/tv/Cbnhz3mlnks/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link I'm currently pretty proud that I've gotten way more consistent with rails this season. I'm giving full credit of my progression to using Pam (canola oil spray) on the rails so that I no longer live in fear of getting grabbed by a mysteriously sticky rail and slamming hard.
nmwninjartThat is awesome!!
I'm feeling the same way too, with only a couple days left in the season and I feel like I'm finally getting some progress. After an mild stupid injury in January, and finally coming to terms that the skis I love are too long and stiff for park use in a small park in a small resort. With less stiff lighter skis that are still too long for me and newer stiffer boots and Footbeds. I'm getting somewhere again After a couple years of pretty stagnant status. I slid my first real rail last weekend! It was a baby short fat tube but I'm counting it! Slowly breaking down that mental block at the end of the stinkin season! Its like I'm finally getting warmed up here! Next season I'll have more appropriately sized skis and will pick up where I left off.
CyanicenineI'm so stoked for you! I also got some smaller skis for this season and it's really helping for skiing the smaller parks. What skis are you gonna get? I'm really liking my revolt 95's in a 157 size, they are doing especially well in the spring slush, being short and kinda fat they don't get bogged down as easy. Getting stiffer more responsive boots is such a game changer.
This may not apply to you, but part of what helped me gain confidence in the park was quitting caffeine this year. I used to look at a tube or a cliff drop and feel like I was having a panic attack thinking about hitting it, I would get the shakes. I now realize it was all the caffeine I was drinking was making me feel that way. Since I quit I feel way more calm and focused in the park.
CyanicenineDecaf still has caffeine in it I found out. I sleep way better now though without it, as well as the less anxiety and I have more vivid dreams.
Since I quit it's like a switch flipped and now I can do the things I want.
MurslopSki boys are the reason i don't talk to anyone. U open ur mouth and "Stfu u cant even kfed"

CyanicenineI don't know what's wrong with skier guys. I've had this conversation before, snowboard guys are way more chill. I find myself hanging out with them frequently, while I only ever rarely encounter a nice park skier guy. Snowboard dudes are handing out beers on the chairlift, bringing good vibes, cheering random people on in the park. Meanwhile the park skiers are too busy being full of themselves to notice anyone else, unless it's to shit on them. And then they come to NS and whine that they can't find a park skier chick.
swag_chicSkier boys r whores. Cant find a good one that’s actually sweet ugh
CyanicenineOMG you guys the season starts tomorrow! Solitude is opening and possibly Brighton, rumors are mixed. About time though, we have more early season snow than I have ever seen since moving here. I'm so excited!
nmwninjartThere's a blizzard warning in ND and upper NW MN.
We have a wicked cold front coming tomorrow night. Snowguns are firing up on Friday. Skiing in a few days afterwards! Winter is here.
GnomesAreRealWomen stand tf up why is this thread so dead
anyways it’s time to grow up as a woman and stop doing slut strands. Your hair freezes, gets messy and looks funny after 10 minutes. And then you start bending that frozen hair and it breaks.
CyanicenineSlut strands look cute for sure, but I've always been too much of a tomboy to bother with my hair much. I also don't really mind being mistaken for a guy. When I overhear someone saying "that dude shreds" it kinda makes me stoked more than getting complimented "as a girl".
GnomesAreRealhah my hear is always covered bc when I eat shit big time it's less embarrassing if everybody thinks im a guy
CyanicenineTotally agree.
GnomesAreRealEpilator, pros and cons:
+ easy to use
+ cheap
+ results last long
+you can use it at home
- HOURTS LIKE A MOTHERFUCKER
and yet, again and again, i find myself using this medieval torture device week after week.
SivvyI just broke with my boyfriend of 3 years. We care about each other so much and it's so amazing to have such a close relationship with someone so special, but long distance just isn't for us. We are both super bummed, any advice on how to move forward. Definitely not super stoked rn
PacificRimJobAh fuck... I don't know how I ended up posting that in the Ladies forum. Either way, I'm gonna just keep it there.
SivvyI love how the only times people care about Woman's sports is when they can use them to push their own agendas
