This isn't always the case, I had a friend who hit a jump on a ski hill with too much speed... he cleared the slope and landed on the flat below. Snapped his left femur, *cringe*.

that was cool. If you are a snowboarder or skier, I couldn't recommend Blackcomb/Whistler in BC enough. Definitely, the best place I've ever skied.

Agreed, but the landlord sets the rate ahead of time. If that's what she contracted for, she has no right to complain later. I also have to wonder if that's $50 each, so $200 per night, because that would be more in line with normal prices....although you can get insane deals if you're there in a storm, most people won't drive and/or ski in white out conditions so there are a lot of cancelations.
Or maybe it's really just a shed and $50 is overcharging? ;-)

$50 does seem very cheap for a place by a ski resort. But turning someone away like that in a snowstorm, you have to be pretty heartless.

Wrong way Feldman-ski?

Oh yeah, I did the same thing when I was 13. Skis off a snow board jump mean you're gonna have a bad time. I always claim the jump was amazing, it was the landing that needed more attention. =)

Also, the end of my day. =)

I think I was 15 or 16 when I stupidly tried to ski over a snowboard jump with as much speed as possible, nearly popped both of my knees out. Like this kid, cleared the entire jump by a good 10 feet right onto flat hard ground. And like you said, that was pretty much the end of my ski day, lol

Thank goodness they were able to ban snowboards. Imagine what it would have been like if snowboards became more popular than skiing!!

This is amazing. Mustache ski patrol guy is great 80's fun!

I'm not saying it IS bullshit, it just seems a bit weird I've never heard of it before. There's a point where "with this one weird trick" style videos have to be taken with a skeptical eye. I've been an adult for the entire lifetime of the internet, and with no previous information, I have to wonder if a Bic lighter has enough BTU's to heat up that nut, as the wheel stud and wheel make a decent heat sink.

In reference to your other post, paraffin wax (candle wax) is actually a component in surfboard and ski wax. I just think it's more effective at preventing rust, rather than seeping into it. As it is similar to kerosene, the video might be somewhat correct. I just doubt the Bic lighter part.

It's not IN a vacuum. the pressure is just very low, like a high-altitude jet airliner. The skis the pod runs on aren't even electromagnetic, they use micro jets of compressed air, like an air-hockey table.

As for Thunderfoot, I get he likes debunking things like those retarded snake-oil "smart pavement" people. However, saying Musk is one of them is ignoring what Elon's already accomplished. I can GUARANTEE Elon Musk has dumped more money than Thunderfoot will make in his lifetime in engineers and pure scientists just to see if it was FEASIBLE, let alone possible.

Zdzisław Beksiński seems to be a heavy influence, more so than Giger.
Their kickstarter failed to reach it's target sadly, so hopefully they can pull something interesting together with the resources they have.

Wheel chair ski jump looks way more interesting than the regular sort.

I think the argument is not that his behavior is stunning etiquette, but it is understandable and his frustration is relatable. Optimally he would've just sat in silence, or driven around to the other entrance, but all things considered, her behavior was more unacceptable. Or to put it another way - this was three minutes out of their respective days. There may be an infinite number of circumstances on either side that we don't see, that would swing our opinion either way. However, if we ignore their emotional states, and just look at the principle, she was dead wrong.

If a restaurant or movie theatre wants to kick you out in the middle of a meal, you can't stay. If a hotel wants to kick you out at 2 am (and lets you pack and take your stuff), you can't stay. That's why they can call the cops to get you out if you refuse to leave - because they have the presumptive right to decide who stays and goes. You have no right to call the cops and ask them to stop the owner from kicking you out, because you have no fundamental right to stay there.

I am not going to say that you're trolling, and your arguments are not unreasonable or dickish, but you're wrong. (In principle) you have a number of potential recourses that you can choose when a proprietor asks you to leave. (in principle) refusing to leave is not one of the options you have any right to exercise.

We can come up with scenarios where it could be argued that you should be allowed to refuse to leave:

1. You're staying at a ski lodge and you will die if you are kicked out into the cold. Then we're no longer talking consumer rights but emergency / health and safety rights.

2. If you leave the premises, you would lose all your other means of recourse, for example if you don't have contact or identifying information for the business you're at. In that case you can ask for that information, and then leave.

In principle, however, sticking around isn't an option, and there's no sane reason why it should be an option. If the business in question doesn't have a valid reason for kicking you out, you get to sue them afterwards.
