Just fill your helmet with gloves, socks, shirts, other soft shit and pack it all in then shove it in the suitcase.

I've never rented a helmet but I'd figure out a way to bring my own (and integrated speakers, etc.) before fucking around with renting one.

 

That was my thinking but just making sure I'm not being overly anxiety-ridden

 

this is the way

 

After buying one, probably one that's a little too cheap but has saved my head still multiple times, it seems so gross to rent a helmet even if they clean them. I'm sweating my fucking ass off half the time as I'm learning and frequently having to burn calories walking out of soft snow or unstrapping, skating, then strapping up again.

 

Got a new helmet this year after 3 or so years of jumps and diggers. It looked okay but not worth the risk of getting in a bad crash with an imperfect helmet. Some guy decked me at Tahoe last year and my helmet probably took a beating during that fall.

 

Helmet goes in my ski bag on top of the bindings with soft stuff packed between them

 

my snowboard travel bag actually busted last year so I need to buy a new one for Tahoe. want one slightly bigger so there is a better fit for my helmet, which was always bulging thru the material.

 

Anyone ski in Colorado today? My word what a powder day

 

Yup. Tired legs are tired.

 

Back bowls at vail were wild

 

As my favorite finance columnist Matt Levine likes to say, everything is securities fraud

 

Was planning on going to Copper this weekend but it’s going to be cold af so thinking not. Heard it was incredible last weekend.

 

I’m also skipping this weekend and going up Wednesday since I’m working the mlk holiday. Then a trip to crusty next weekend.

fuck skiing in negative temps.

 

This is my brothers knee today and a reminder to skip the terrain park if you’re over 40

 

Fucking jesus, did he smash it on a rail?

 

Fuck

 

I’m gonna be freezing my dick off in Breck this weekend. Already paid to ski so guess I’m gonna be in hell Sunday.

 

Spend the money to warm up at the summit county rec center sauna and hot tub

 

Or get a massage at the resort and you get those things included

 

My hotel has 2 hot tubs

 

Coming back from St Kitts tomorrow to a frigid arctic hellscape I see

 

Board or ski? How tf does that happen

 

Snowboarding at Bachelor. He didn't carry enough speed from the first kicker to the second and hit the knuckle on the landing. The impact compressed so hard it ripped the bone up. That section of the park is built for inversions and the take off was steep, he probably missed the landing by about a foot before he would have hit the downslope.

He got screws put in last night and needs a second surgery this morning on some of the additional fractures you can't see in that pic. Goodish news is the ligaments didn't look torn on the initial scan. Pray to the snow gods for our fallen brother.

 

So in order to get any payback for the strike you only have to pay Vail $750 next year instead of a grand

 

Yeah but just imagine the discount you’ll get in two years.
