Yeah,it's expensive....Bindings are pricey too...I'm going to buy a decent set of bindings.....That way if this project doesn't work out I may just get a factory made board and use the bindings on it...
Table saw made a really nice cut on the board....Next is the really sketch part IMO).cutting a slot to epoxy a metal edge in...I found one You Tube vid where a guy uses VDS rubber and fiberglass along with the edge......What sucks is there is no clear pictures or explanation on how they are layered...I also thought about trying to get some kind of side wall in there too but thought that might be pushing my luck...
It's pretty amazing just how thin the base is.....Going to have to make a jig for the laminate trimmer and practice cutting with it...Need to buy some metal edge....
Yeah a friend has a tannenbaum chair sitting on his patio, it was a right place right time sort of deal. I want to be in that right place this time around, obviously if I see something come up I'll post about it here
The reason for putting an edge in on the cut side is in case I need to side step up some firm snow or any situation where I might need that extra grip....
A lot of people just epoxy the cut edge but would hate to get in an area where I need that metal edge.....
i think a lot of this is spot on. i don't see them opening with just the vista lift, unless they do it as a passholder-only perk kinda thing for a soft opening midweek or something, followed quickly by getting the main street lift open for the general public. it seemed like they're still floating black friday as tentative opening date, and i just don't see them getting the 6 up and running by then unless it's freakishly cold.
I wear a mask for like 75% of my day, its just not that hard. I mean, For most people i guess.
i will gladly wear a mask for less crowded slopes and lift lines. To me it seems like a decent trade off.
props to Blue for the pre season outline. We think this is all gonna suck for us, but its gonna suck for them worse.
they sold off the Tannenbaum chairs last time they replaced a lift. They sold like hot cakes, literally....minutes. you really need to be in the right place at the right time to get a lift chair around here, i think. I would love to make some yard art out of a few.
So thats kind of interesting news. I do feel how its written leaves them a little wiggle room on the day tickets. Not sure how they figure how many passholders would be there at any given time, but since the scanners work so well, i would assume they have some data as to what that figure might be.
Not specific to trains, but this is how the Lehigh River used to flow at Palmerton prior to them moving the river to build the new 248. In the photo are the tracks of the CNJ on the right, LV across the River, and LNE on the side of Blue Mt. Bottom of photo shows the aqueduct of the Lehigh Canal used to float boats over the Aquashicola Creek.
Im never without a mask. I keep a couple in my car and always need one to wear into and out of the hotel house. The one night I came back from wawa or somewhere and forgot to wear mask back to hotel room and the next morning I didn’t have a mask so grabbed an old ski sock and tied it around my nose and mouth to leave. Yeah I’m inventive you can call me MacGuiver..
