  1. My advice to folks would be don’t book anything that can’t be changed/cancelled on short notice. We have a room booked for just before Christmas for some skiing. I paid a bit extra for the ability to cancel it right up to the day before.
  2. Everything’s bigger in Tex ass.... including their stupid laws.
  3. Yeah.... it’s tough for a lot of things... the stuff I bought today is hardy down to -20... should be pretty safe here I think
  4. All trees and shrubs 50 percent off this weekend at Home Depot. Picked up some nice looming holly bushes and some dirt cheap ornamental grasses.
  5. Bringing my new skis and boots to be tuned and fitted tomorrow.
  6. Nice.... just in time to torpedo ski season.... I’m sure NH will be next
  7. Since it’s 2020 and everything blows... it’ll nail it
  8. Paste job at my Parents house in NW Taunton and rain once you got to the green. And it stayed like that for hours
  9. I remember when it used to snow around here.... good times
  10. The closing of schools because of one or two positive cases is pretty dumb. If that is the threshold, schools won’t be open again until a vaccine has been widely distributed to the entire population. Read an article that Baker is asking for documentation and reasoning behind communities with little to no spread or cases opting to go fully remote.
  11. I work at a college. I’ve now been tested a dozen times since early August... once a week... and even twice a few times. The results are usually turned around in 12-18 hours... never longer than 24. The entire campus community is being tested at least once a week, pumping out north of 3500 tests a week.
  12. What more can we do though? I feel like New England has been pretty good about testing and contact tracing, and the reopening for most places around here has been painfully slow/ non existent. I mean ultimately nobody is forcing anyone to go out to bars or crowded places. If someone chooses not to do that, totally fine, but if some people want to try to get back to some sense of normalcy, I think that’s fine too, if all reasonable precautions are taken.
  13. I booked a trip for a few days right before Christmas to north conway and hope to ski cranmore a few days. I spent a bit of extra money to be able to cancel right up until the day before. You never know these days
  14. Looks like nobody will be skiing then . Runny nose. Holy Christ
  15. Pretty depressing article. Sounds like if a certain set of scenarios play out we could be in big trouble... vaccine or not.
  16. https://www.evo.com/outlet/ski-packages/atomic-punx-five-skis-look-nx-10-bindings thinking about splurging for these.... last years model seems like
  17. Thanks for the honesty.... so basically the skis are useless with bindings that can’t be worked on..... I’ll have to shop around. Im skeptical of ski swaps happening like you mentioned, so I guess I’ll have to shop around.
  18. @powderfreak so these are my skis... not sure if you can tell... but could these accommodate a bigger boot? Or be adjusted at all?
  19. Thanks... I’m not really opposed to trading in all my stuff either and getting newer (probably used) stuff. Will I get anything for 10+ year old equipment? And what can a used set of stuff cost me? Roughly
  20. Skis are about 10 years old..: so I’ll have to see what they look like when I get home.
  21. As a casual skier, would I be able to buy new boots and fit them to my skis accordingly? Like if I buy boots for my shoe size online, is it easy enough to change the bindings on the skis? Ill take them somewhere if I have to, but only skiing a few times a year at most, I’d like to do it myself and save some money
  22. Just out of curiosity... heated? Or just a summer thing.
  23. Going up to North Conway December 20-23 hopefully to do some skiing. Got a decent rate on a room... $99 per night and can cancel right up until the day before.
