The gimbal head should have kept it steady. He apparently had a bunch of printout on the procedure, but he probably should have practiced it on the uneclipsed sun a day or two earlier. I thought of bringing a DSLR and similar tripod setup, but hearing about the constant high clouds near the...

I was observing the eclipse off a boat near Isla Socorro a few couple hundred miles off Mexico mainland. The whole sky shot during totality was taken with action cam that had no exposure control, thus the eclipsed sun was way overexposed. Others are just handheld shot on a Sony RX100M3 with...

Not skiing on eclipse, but planning on being on a charter boat near Isla Socorro in Mex. Don't think I want to lug a scope all the way there and buy a gimble tripod head just to compensate for the rocking boat, as it won't be a above water trip. I did build a mirror filter for shooting pix of...

The code seems to be a simple guide where one doesn't have to think what applies in a situation that one is encountering. No one is going to think, this person in the front is making regular turns, so I (the person behind) is should watch out for them, but their turn is wider than the...

Skied it tues/wed. Didn't know school was out the whole week, so there were a significant crowd on the line and cafeteria, mostly of families (whom seem to take the tables in the caf for the whole day). Tried to stay on the north and west if the lines got more than a few min long on the...

Any word the rumoured talk of lift upgrades? Such as upgrading and extending the B? Or grading the road next to Drop-off for access to the north from mid mountain? I know Mt Snow and Okemo got their millions in capital improvement last year, so the cash should be spread to Hunter this time...

Have a Giro polycarbonate full shell helmet. Slid on a boilerplate during a high speed turn, rotated and went head down facing up. All I can see was the sky until tree branches started appearing in my sight and I knew something unpleasant was coming my way. My head slammed into the pump cabin...

The EPICMix non GPS ski tracking feature is probably more accurate since it just calculates number times passing through the lift, multiplied by its vertical drop. I don't think he averaged 2 minutes per run, as many of them are off the Belt or more narrow trails where straightlining is...

I've been there at times where they said west is open, but it was just Way Out leading to the west. Other times where Claire's was open but not the lift, nor was trail listed as open in the app. The only way to repeatedly ski it is to hit the Flyer, ski down Claire, ride up the Northern...

If this system also narrows the forefoot as promised, then they would need to mount the contact points much lower, so the cables would pull in the side of the boot. Also the lower forefoot cutout area would likely have to be wider in order for it to be pull inward much closer to the side of the...

Had a real late start to the season due to circumstances. Noticed they narrowed the right side of hellgate right below where 42nd st fork off. Usually I take a fast sweeper from left of hellgate toward the right edge in that area where I noticed the trail just disappeared and had to really...

Ike and Bleeker are open too. They seem to close trails on weekdays when they don't have time to groom the trails. When I was there tuesday, many trails that seemed skiable were closed, such as Ike. While I constantly see people coming out of closed trails like Jimmy Huega. The whole North...

If they plan on shutting down the F lift, they can't reuse the lift towers as it is spaced only for a triple chair. I don't see the space to run another lift next to the F lift, unless it veers off slightly and unload near where the old Z lift unloaded. Most likely the new HSQ will use the F...

I have base layer and compression tights layer. I make sure their seams don't overlap, otherwise it would be major pain no matter how high it sits in the boot. I also use to wear neoprene socks, which is the thinnest, non-compressive type of sock there is, except it is non-breathable so the...

I usually tuck my thermal layer under my socks, with the seams, near the very top of the boots so as to not interfere with the fit. I once had it a bit lower. I don't know if the seam was resting at a point sensitive point, but the slight bulge from its overlapping fabric caused me to...

I have the Epic Northeast Midweek pass. Price didn't go up much (to $385), but was significantly higher than when Peak had their pass ($299), and before that, Hunter's price of $199/$229. EPIC keeps the midweek price high while making the 7 days a week pass only $130 more on the hope that one...

If I don't record every second of my life, I cease to exist ;). JK.... I use to just record with Trace Snow, where I can also login to their web portal to look at detailed analysis of each run. It was after that app was discontinued that I started using a whole bunch of other ways to record in...

I'm back to booting up at the lodge and leave my bag there. It's would be too out of the way just to grab some snack to have with lunch, change goggles or remove/add an additional layer (usually during lunch). We use to put 2 sets of boots, helmets and multiple goggle/gloves in a rolling...

That means its back to the overcrowding of the cafeteria, where a non-skiing member of the family take up the whole table and spread the lunch and clothes of the rest of the family. The person will occupy the table the whole day while reading their book. I usually grab lunch after 1pm on...

As said earlier, not every app have every feature. Plus, its kind of for redundancy, some app just stops in the middle without notice, while others like Fitbit is used for the overall fitness aspect. I still haven't seen any that does heat map for speed like Trace Snow. I consolidate it all...
