Did you not watch the video? The interesting bit happens about 20 seconds in. Edit. It's basically supreme driver stupidity. And yes the same mistake can be made in almost any kind of vehicle. But the potential consequences seem higher in EVs, to me at least. I'm not hating on EVs btw.

Anyone remember this video from a few years ago? ( I hope the link posts) With EV's combining massive curb weight and massive instantaneous acceleration we can look forward to more shit like this. And worse.

Holy crap you are sooooooooooo left field here😅 And fwiw I'm one those who generally enjoys driving for its own sake

I can accept that maybe that was feasible... Fifty years ago. (Still sketchy but feasible, if nothing goes wrong) You'd never be able to get away with that today. But even back then that was not a reasonable way to drive. If you ever needed to emergency stop you or a pedestrian would be dead...

Heel and toe downshifting at every red light and stop sign?? Hmmm🤔 I agree it's the right way to decel on the track or any situation where you want to maximize you speed into a turn. But everyday street driving... You must reeeealllly enjoy rowing the gears for its own sake.

I agree about using engine braking to save brake wear and overheating on very long continuous descents. But I don't think I've ever known anyone (and I have many MT/car enthusiast friends, plus myself) who engine brake allllll the time whenever they decelerate. To do that you'd literally be...

Is anything thing in that article really a surprise? Wasn't to me. Feels like a micro example of leaded gas again. Somebody develops a chemical that performs some function, industry accepts it because it works well, someone else eventually discovers that said chemical is toxic, awareness...

Hey when new NRX gets put in ya could move the old one over to above Inverness!😁🙃

Based on nothing more than hunch, an Alterra acquisition of Killington would not at all surprise me. It just occurs to me, I've been skiing Killington (and Pico) sporadically for ~40 years now, and as far as I can recall I have not once ever entered the Ramshead lodge.🤔😮 (I probably never went...

1814 per hour / 4 = 453.5 It means 453 chairs make the full run up but the 454th chair is 1/2 chair-space length away from the unload station right when the timer hits 60:00.000 😁 And no nerding out on shit like this is NOT splitting hairs!😅

Ugh... Yeah I remember that ad. I remember genuinely thinking it was genius to cut trails -in between- two existing pods and declare that pimple on the ridgeline to be a Whole New Mountain😅 I was still kinda young and dumb and my world was small🙄🤷‍♂️

Soooooo.... What exactly... is... the KS effect? is it snow happens wherever you're going to, or leaving from? I think I've seen it used both ways, perhaps even by you!😅

On one hand I feel a bit sorry for people who spent hours in traffic yesterday but weren't able to make it into the totality region. OTOH, anyone who thought they'd just hop in their car at 9am in Boston, NYC, or similar and "take a nice ride" to see the eclipse, was pretty foolish😅 Sounds like...

A friend took a very similar picture (Jay in background) from Owl's Head ~6 yrs ago. It is kind of 🤯 think that an entire ski area ie Owl's Head is hidden on the other side of that bump that is un-missably in view when you're skiing at Jay. Also, happy eclipse viewing to all the folks who're...

But, but, but... It's late March and there's no snow anywhere in the flatlands shouldn't they all be pulling out their lawnmowers and prepping for kids' sports??🤔😅

Absolutely love those small/ish airports of the mtn west. I'll be flying in Redmond next week <psyched>

You can tell by how they're skiing, their turns etc. I agree it looks very unsteep. Not saying it's bad, but itll be blue squarish.

Bigger risk of mudslide right now😅

2015-16 has been my benchmark for a bad season. Is the current season worse? I haven't been able to get out too much this season.

It reads extremely bot'ey to me. Actually it feels like a paragraph from SKI magazine circa 1990s. Which, I think would be plausible source content for a bot posting here. But as others have said, if it actually is a real person, I do apologize.
