  • Kombucha tea is a fermented drink made with tea, sugar, bacteria and yeast. Although it’s sometimes referred to as kombucha mushroom tea, kombucha is not a mushroom, it’s a colony of bacteria and yeast. Kombucha tea is made by adding the colony to sugar and tea, and allowing the mix to ferment.

    • Candide Thovex is Back, Jumps Over Paragliders, Road Bikers in ‘One of Those Days III’

      I mean, I’m not sure why I’m even typing anything in here – will you even read it? Whatever combination of adverbs and pronouns I spew into the space below this video will do nothing close to justice to Candide Thovex’s mastery of his skiing and his ability to somehow, stylishly, dominate insane stunts.

      Of course, One of Those Days III features more obviously fake or CGI stunts than either the first or second edition of Candide’s legendary internet-bombing series. But nonetheless, there’s plenty of 100%, 100% fucking insane skiing from the sport’s most iconic spinner and flipper to make you stop what you’re doing and simply appreciate the magic for a few moments.

       

    • 25 People Fall After Ski Lift Derailment in WV

      At Timberline Resort in Davis, West Virginia a ski lift derailment caused about 25 people to fall to the ground. The drop was about 30 feet according to a resort spokesperson. Only two people were hospitalized with non-life threatening issues.

      After the derailment about 100 skiers were left stranded further up the lift, all were evacuated within two hours of the incident. Fortunately, the derailment occurred on the lower part of the lift where the skiers were closer to the ground. This incident could have been much worse if it had occurred higher on the mountain, where the chair travels 60 feet above the ground.

      “All of Timberline’s lifts undergo thorough and rigorous inspection in a timely fashion and are in compliance with all applicable safety standards, including federal guidelines for maintenance and annual mechanical inspection and the strict safety requirements of Timberline’s insurance provider,” Timberline Four Seasons Resort stated in a Facebook post.

      “Daily maintenance checks are performed each morning by resort staff, and ski patrol rides the lifts and completes a visual inspection of Timberline’s lifts before they are opened to the public. In our 30 year history, Timberline has never had a lift failure resulting in injury or in any way comparable to today’s malfunction, and the resort will continue to investigate the cause of this incident to ensure the safety of our skiers,” the resort said.
