    What to watch? (need streaming series suggestions)

    We just finished "The Gentleman" on netflix. It's a very entertaining pot growing crime drama involving English Lords and large-scale crime syndicates. Really well done directed by Guy richie. Lots of tongue and cheek humor and not too violent. We really enjoyed this.

    Skiing while pregnant - late season European resorts

    I skied easy blues and greens until 5 months. Those days 35 years ago I wasn't a very good skier and that's where I felt safest. I also biked until my knees hit my belly.

    Days you’ve been on snow 2023-2024

    Ugh this has been a terrible year for us. The El Nino warm winter really affected conditions here. Combined with overall busyness as we are busy building a new house and getting this one ready for sale; not a bad year to have business. I know we missed a few good days to due inertia but there...

    Cleaning Tips for White Ski Pants

    Any detergent is fine. I don't think I specify powder. I haven't tried the combo products. Grangers, Nikwax, it's all the same function. For my triple wash method a combo product won't work. I'd see if the pants whiten up with a wash before going to the trouble and expense of rewaterproofing.

    Cleaning Tips for White Ski Pants

    1. regarding waterproof, search my posts for how to best rewaterproof pants. Correct washing will improve waterproofing, not degrade it. 2. Discoloration is either grime or age. Ski wear should be washed every season. Synthetic fabrics do react with the environment and degrade over time so...

    No one in Europe uses a dryer. Just sayin'. Get yourself a nice folding rack.

    Ski areas not on any multi passes

    @Christy, I didn't mean to sound rude in my reply!! It is a totally annoyance to us that we don't get something better with our pass.

    Ski areas not on any multi passes

    Wrong about Mount Spokane. It is on weird one that you've never heard of, "Freedom Pass". We have reviewed the perk as 30+ year season pass holder and it's pretty minimal. It *is* kind of buried on the website. https://www.mtspokane.com/partner-mountains Ashland, Loup Loup, Bogus, Hurricane...

    Like I suggested earlier, smaller city close to skiing may be worth considering...I skied powder 4 days last week 33 miles from home.

    Keep in mind that cash has the option to not be declared income (that's up to the recipient) but any other payment method leaves a trail. Just sayin'.....

    Leg gaiters over snowboard pants when skiing?

    Cut a rectangle. Velcro hook and loop on the short edge, elastic/shock cord to hold close on long edges. You will have to have a side entry because the dimension to get it over your boot and the dimension to go around your leg are too far apart. Or you have a tube that you put on with your pants...
