    Whitewalker Trade: Your 192cm for my 185cm.

    Ok, title says it all. This is for the first gen graphic of the Whitewalker. You bought 192 thinking you're a super charger, but then realized you are not slashing and whipping and greasing like Sammy, and you wish you at the 185s. I am a 6'3 skier and have loved these, I can whip and smear and...

    Refurbishing Look Pivots

    Have some '04 world cups that served the last 10 years on my bent chetler skis, now set up as Cast on Declivity X. I've managed to take these apart in order to set them up for Cast, and realized how simple they actually are. The heelpiece is a bit sticky - and I was wondering if anyhow has...

    The case for comp jocks to remove their brakes

    Just rewatched Kelly Sildaru's second olympic run with a stomped switch 10 - that resulted in a ski getting hung up and popped off after landing switch. Been seeing a lot of switch landings this olympics with skis popping off. Wondering why athletes don't just clip their brakes - keep the...

    Core Helmet Recommendations

    My girlfriend brought up the fact that my pad-less Bern helmet that I wear over my goggles with whatever beanie I have handy probably wont protect my head the way it was intended to. I told her it makes me steezier and better at park stunts, but since Palisades Tahoe Alpine Meadows has NO PARK...

    Mounting the GF's Skis (ARW 106 UL)

    Yo! My partner picked up the 106 UL in a 164cm and is stoked. Her only other ski is a JJ UL, mounted at factory. She's an intermediate / advanced, age 32, has a style thats really spurred from riding rockered pow skis all the time (not carvy or steppy or traditional). So, factory or freestyle...

    Narrow Skins

    Debating whether to CAST touring "second ski kit" my ARGs this winter. They really are ideal for pow, and am thinking touring is the ticket. That said, I have a set of skins that are for my JJ ULs, 116 underfoot and the same length. Im wondering if any of ya'll have experienced using a...

    Extracting stripped binding screws

    A tough combo: stripped screws and heaps of epoxy. I was swapping the AFDs (shout out Rossi North America customer service - any and all look binding part seekers hit them up) and screwed the pooch on removing these. Any tips on getting these out from past experience? Would ya recommend taking...

    ODR Boot Skis!

    Is this the future chapter of skiing we've been talking about? Should they use poles or not? Should monster sponsor the top level athletes? Will this be an X-games big air category 2025? Is this the guy she tells you not to worry about? https://www.odrskis.com/pages/our-story

    Extracting a snapped binding screw, or fuqqq it just ride with one down

    Last night tossed some old Rossi FKS 120s on some Bdog Edgeless. I salvaged screws from another P18 binding that were quite old, and in the process of putting them on, then double checking boot fit (first install) then taking them out, epoxying them in, a heel bolt snapped in the ski. In my...
