CeleryAny Maine people ever skied Big Rock mountain in Mars hill? It's got 1000 ft of vert and is in the middle of nowhere, seems like maybe a good pow day option
Drove past it in the summer last year seems cool but it’s so far from me probably will never make it.
I think i may have to go, it's only 2 hours from Orono
hi_vis360Skied there once mid winter fully open cold af. There are some really crazy steep runs that are one groomer width that are super fun. Park was kinda weird but it did exist. Limited tree skiing but it’s def there. The mountain faces west so there is tons of light late in the day, which is refreshing if you are coming from the loaf. Would love to ski there on a warm day in march the golden hour skiing must be super epic

If I lived that close I would be hitting it up for sure, especially on weekends where loaf is going to be packed. BMoM is absolutely the best spot to be on a pow day but that’s gotta be like 2.5 or 3 hours from Orono

It would be sick on a pow day. They’re getting a new lift this season too. When I skied there it was solid ice. The park was meme level bad. This video has some clips from there starting at 0:36 https://vimeo.com/265218987

Torn between buying a pass for a little hill thats close to me (Glen Eden, ~200' vert, can hit it up on the drive home from school), and one thats 2hrs north (Moonstone, ~400' vert, great park). No idea what my winter class schedule is gonna be like, so there's no certainty that I'll have a day or two each week that I can get out by ~1pm like I can this semester. Last time I had a Glen pass I only used it like 3 times. It's right outside of Toronto, so its always super busy. When I last rode there they had just got rid of their squirrel catcher/park pass system, so the park is full of toddlers and kooks. Had several really close calls with people chilling in blind landings and decided that shitty skiing wasn't worth the risk of decapitating someone's kid. I don't wanna drop $300 on a pass and end up not using it again cause the skiing is so sketchy.

Never had any interest in learning Spanish but being on a job site with a lot of Mexicans who are also the nicest and coolest mfs ever makes me want to learn. Kind of hard to communicate with them but it’s kind of fun and something I’m not used to at all from my small hick Appalachia town so shoutout google translate.

lol my first job was a kitchen full of hispanics and half of them didn’t speak english, i loved it so much. was a plus that I did spanish k-12 so i was basically one of them.

Seems like a sick tool to have especially out west where Hispanic populations are higher. I wish I had k-12 Spanish, just a few classes in middle school lmao.
this is the one instance where something I learned in the classroom is actually holding value in the real world who woulda thought.
I took Spanish All 4 years in HS.
I never used it again until like 11 years later I went to Mexico for a trip. It was coming back to me quickly. By the 3rd day I was able to follow the conversation at group dinners and read the menu/signs and stuff. My speaking was horrible though.
Every once in awhile when I'm bored I'll get on Duolingo to try to keep it fresh even though I live in a largely Scandinavian heritage area now.

I did Spanish preschool through high school and then was 1 class away from a minor in college. I never use it anymore outside of ordering from Taco Trucks so I have forgot more than I learned.
