r/icecoast

I live down in the suburbs of DC, so the best I can do in a given season with my family situation is 15-20 days per year. But with the crazy season that we've had on the icecoast, and the posts that I keep seeing in here, I'm wondering: Has anyone broken their own personal record?

Just want to help anyone still trying to get a day in! I have buddy passes for Loon, Sunday River, and Sugarloaf. Shoot me a message if you’d like one!

Looking ahead to next season to purchase my typical 2 day pass to enjoy my overnight trip to Okemo. I have been bouncing around the option to get a 3/4 day pass or potentially getting a NE pass. My question is, I have had the option to not get the season pass or more than 2 day and utilize a friend's buddy passes. Can anyone guide me on their experience on buddy passes for midweek skiing? What is the average discount when using buddy passes?

This is a bit of a PSA for anyone dealing with random neck/back tightness. I know it's super off topic but this was a revelation for me so I wanted to share the love😂.

I went through the whole cycle:

• stretching
• posture fixes
• new desk setup
• even those weird massage guns

And yeah, they helped a bit but nothing really fixed it. I'd always wake up with a sore neck and my back was super stiff throughout the day.

Then I saw someone on TikTok mention that if your pillow is bad you're going to wake up sore the next morning because your spine isn't aligned. Which made sense to me. I figured if I could spend about $100 on a couple of ergonomic pillows and finally fix my neck and back tightness, it was worth a shot. I've had to spend more then that on 2 chiropractor visits.

So I finally upgraded to one of these ergonomic pillows from shopderila.com after doing some digging into brands. They were a little pricey, but the ones this person on TikTok recommended were over $250 each, so these felt like a much better option 😂.

And out of everything I tried, the pillow upgrade made the biggest difference. Not instantly, but after a few nights I noticed I wasn’t waking up with that same tight feeling.

It’s kind of funny because it was the most obvious fix, and I left it until last. So yeah if you’ve tried everything else, maybe check your pillow before your next trip to the chiropractor.
