Most kids learn at home...

Yeah because our public schools have failed them they have to learn somewhere.

I can commiserate some. Select schools have gone away from many quantitative measures, or don't weigh them as much. SAT/ACT is now optional or not even considered, grade inflation has made grades a less used stat, and every kid seems to be taking AP courses now.

Yeah, I saw that the other day, dude is so incredibly lucky.

I saw he even had a radio and could hear his partners (so at least he wasn’t riding out of bounds alone) but couldn’t respond because he couldn’t move his arms.

I guess having a bright colored bottom on your board might be a safety feature, if that was a plain black base I’m not sure the skier would have even seen it.

They ran a thread on TGR a few years back by a guy who started a snow cat operation on, I think it was an area on Mt Fuji in Japan. Because of the way the Pacific storms hit the Japanese islands they get huge dumps commonly over several feet. At any rate they only allowed snow boards under certain conditions because if you fall in that stuff on a snow board unless someone sees you and digs you out you done for

It was an interesting take on the "stuck in an appliance" chestnut...

I've always been a powder hound and tree skier. Of all the scary experiences I've had the vast majority were under those conditions. Once I skied into a tree well, slammed my chest into the tree, ended up with my arms around the tree, my legs behind me with the tips on the skis pointed down and the tails tight against my back. Took me quite awhile to finally release one of my bindings and it was starting get real scary.

She seems nice...

She uses "literally" and "actually" too much...
We hates her.
