Why is everyone so amazed by the toe warmer phone thing, are you all that slow?

either way keeping your phone in your leg pocket against the warmth of your body is a much cheaper and logical way to stop your phone from dying, unless you use other pockets etc

Are you fucking slow?! Why would you keep it in your leg pocket instead of your chest pocket, near the center of your body, aka your core, where your heart is, where your body keeps the warmest at all times.

Either way if you're skiing in -10 or even 10 degree weather none of the pockets in any of your clothing will be close enough to keep your phone battery warm enough. Hence why everyone is amazed at the toe warmer solution because it's simple and is available to everyone at any hill for 99 cents.
 
Not really a hack but if you're hungry and have no money just go to the eating area. Then stand at the garbage can and wait for people to throw there food away and ask if you can have it. Works almost everytime and you can score from uneaten chicken strips to fries.

Where do you even live, California or something?

simple mate, your jacket is usually packed out underneath with a couple of thermals, fleece, wool, whatever, plus whatever insulation is in the jacket.

thus hot air stays trapped in the layers closest to your body, I found in -25 too -35 (western alberta) that my jacket pockets were simply not hot enough.

pants on the otherhand- 1 layer of wool, then ski pants, and as a result my leg pockets are much warmer.
 
Vail Resorts track your vertical feet and post it in an app in real time, its pretty nifty. Just before you get on a lift you pass through a small frame that scans the pass and adds that lifts total vertical to yours.

Slide your pass in between the pads on the scanner frame and leave it there, every 30 seconds or so it resets and scans your pass

Problems arise if someone sees you put your pass there or if you ski down to the base

Never pay for gasoline again. syphon gas from all the parked cars in the parking lot. You can tell if it's premium if it tastes more tangy. Diesel is salty.

unleaded tastes a little tangy, supreme is kinda sour, and diesel tastes pretty good

Yeah do that, proceed to get a shit load of vertical, and then when they see the chance to make more money they surprise you with extra fees for exceeding the amount of vertical that you paid for in a day, because they will surely start charging for that now as well...

FUCK VAIL

It's kinda hard to film with your camera inside your pants, now isn't it? Correct me if I'm wrong. Why would someone hate on a useful tip, the negativity on this site never fails!
 
Using snow to wipe the tip after peeing to stop the drip you get down the side of your leg that doesn't dry cause your pants are

Waterproof

Toe warmer on the back of your phone so the battery doesn't die

If you have an Iphone and leave it like this for too long it will overheat and you will have to wait for it to cool down

I've actually never had that problem

if your pants aren't skin tight then your phone isn't anywhere near "the warmth of your body"

And no one should have there ski pants tight! saggy and baggy.....
 
this thread is literally some of the most obvious and basic shit ever.

hey guys, did you know there are free crackers in the condiments area?

you all will never reach charley ager status of bumming. just a buncha fucking posers in here.

So what you're actually saying is that at Vail you can get free passes by hunting in the pads by the pass scanners, usually left there by posers who give a single fuck about faking how much "vert" they skied that day.
 
When you're at the cash register at the food court tell them you're an employee, if they ask for your card just say it's at the table (Tip: if they look like the manager don't do this)

Definitely, that's exactly what I'm saying! Thanks for rephrasing with such a jonny badass tone...

Those passes will work great for you and it leaves the one who lost their pass totally screwed (it's not like you can just go up to any ticket office and get a reprint)

Sometimes the most obvious things are the most obscure.
 
ask if you can have some hot water for your "ramen" then put some ice in the cup of hot water the ice melts water turns cold and not you have free water.
 
ask for some hot water for you "ramen" and put the hot water into then cup then you go to the soda fountain when the guy isn't looking put some ice into the cup and the warmness of the water will melt the ice and the coldness of the ice will cool the water therefore making cold water walk out and say thank you the idiot will have no clue hehehe

Wait, wait, you think it's a hack to melt some ice to get water?

You're on a bloody mountain covered in frozen water.

And I'm pretty damn sure that if you really wanted some water that badly you could just go to the bathroom and fill your cup/mouth with water from the tap in there.

And then for bonus points you posted this same stupid thing twice, wit slightly different phrasing... keep it up.

There is a deeper meaning......Ice has three letters hot has three letters ramen has 4 letters.4•3•3=36......(3-6)= 3.

Hack has 4 letters Obama has 5 letters .4+5=9......9/3=3..........the first paragraph adds up to three and the second paragraph also adds up to 3......3+3=6....6 is the devils number therefore there was a deeper meaning In my 2 previous replays you just have to look closer.....Illuminati confirmed (drops mic and walks off)and you may think this makes no sense but my friend....open you eyes and look closer

well ramen has 5 letters so there's at least 1 way to debunk your bullshit
 
Bring your own pickles, then get a water cute and put the pickles in the cup, then fill it with water , free water
