To be masked or not to be masked

I’ll be trying to get my kid skiing next year. 5 years old and it’s time to get into it.

Dad will also try it as I’ve been snowboarding forever, but since my operation 7 years ago I haven’t been on anything.

Time to get back into it.

Where do I buy used kids ski equipment? May be better to rent the first season.

There is lots of different straps, harnesses etc to buy now that makes skiing pretty easy for any age. I had my twin girls skiing Kirby last year at 2 1/2 years old using a harness so I can control their speed. By the end of this season they were 3 1/2 and able to make it down Tremblant on their own.

They both had cuts on their faces after the first day of tremblant this year due to ice but we encouraged them to keep going and they had a riot the rest of the week.

i used slope ropes, which you can make very easily at home.

helps the kid bend at the hip and doubles as an awesome way to tow them when on flats and my kid found it funny that he felt like he was "pulling me"
easy to pack in your jacket too

@robertv19​

same here, kiddo hated soccer at about the same age...but now i gotta find ways to teach her to work better in team settings so she can focus on common goals instead of "me me meeee"
almost got her started doing jiu jitsu cause while individual its always about teamwork to get the technique down, but the price was just too ridiculous

I'll be masking for a good while yet. As grocery stores reduce their mandates I can see myself shopping early AM.

Grocery shopping today at 2pm in a large store. I would say about 50% were masked.
12 Men, 17 women unmasked.
I wonder if the “I don’t want to ruin my makeup” is the cause for the discrepancy in numbers.
 
So far in our store this week I would say about 80% of customers were wearing masks and about the same percentage of couriers/truck drivers too.
Staff, myself included, haven’t been wearing masks and it’s been so nice!

Renting is very expensive if you go more than once. Much better to buy used. FB Marketplace or Kijiji are good options for used equipment. IF the Toronto Ski Show runs next fall, go there with your kids. There are choices of new old stock, or used equipment in the ski / board swap area and staff on hand to help with boot fitting and offer general assistance. This is where I get all of my ski equipment and can't remember the last time I bought new skis at a regular store.

Are there places like Sports Swap and Kunstadt Sports around here? They sell equipment, and then take it back as a trade in the next year or two, then sell it as used. I'm not sure how old the equipment can be, but they usually have turnover.

The following is a pretty good but not complete representation of how I feel about masks:
The Mask Debacle
 
My worked changed the mask requirement to a "strong recommendation" on Monday. On Monday it was probably 70/30 mask vs unmask. Today its 5/95 mask vs unmask. ~250 people in the building.

I got about halfway through the second day and caved. I keep one with me all the time though, and now the only time I wear it now is if I'm going to be sitting right beside someone for more than a minute or two. I still wear one when I'm out shopping though. Not sure the mentality behind that, just feels like I should.

Gotta say while I dont think this will end all that well, I'm gonna enjoy the next few weeks at least.

Ford says government has no plans to reimpose COVID restrictions as one epidemiologist warns that 'we are on the cusp of a spring wave'

Premier Doug Ford says that he is “confident” that the healthcare system can withstand an uptick in COVID-19 transmission as the province continues to push forward with its plans to lift all remaining restrictions amid what could be the beginning of another wave of the pandemic.

Ironically, this makes me want to vote him out even more ( didn’t think that was possible).
Self-serving sack of sh*t

FIFY
 
I must say it was nice…but weird walking around some stores yesterday without a mask.

I’d say 50-50 in CT and LCBO yesterday. Although it was hilarious to pick up a packed Glenfiddich yesterday only to find out someone stole the bottle from within the package.

As for DOFO…mandates will return the day after election. He just wants to get voted back in first.

Which by and large is what happened for the last 2 years. The public is largely over Covid, he can see which way the wind is blowing
