If you could have any other skier's bag of tricks but had to keep your own style, whose bag would you choose? Also, if you could have any skier's style but had to keep your own bag of tricks, whose style would you choose? Finally, would you rather have the bag or the style? I think for the...

yo gang, let's see some of your adorable fur friends (pictures of Henrik or Casabon on leash also accepted) here's my good ol' boy Summit (shredding in peace since 2022 after almost 17 years of shenanigans) and his spiritual successor Hilly (full name Hillard Willam Whitney AKA HillyBilly) as...

What are some of the things you do while skiing that drive you crazy and you wish to overcome? for example, when skiing into a jump, i always look like a lego man - my arms are too straight and sticking out slightly like i'm about to get run over but too scared to move also, when i land...

Yo yo- who needs some bindings with a wide brake? I have a set of griffons with ~130mm brakes. They’re in very good condition since I had them mounted on a pair of 141-underfoot pow skis that only got used a few times a year. Should be appropriate for any ski 120-140 underfoot or get a new brake...

the tricks that freak my out the most are: 1) switch tails. it just gets me every time. i way prefer switch lip to switch tails 2) backflip. i used to do them daily but years ago i got some weird pop off the lip and ate shit so hard. i haven't done a single one since 3) switch right takeoff...

What up creatures Pretty simple here - looking for your input on lipslides. I've always believed that a lipslide is only a lipslide if you've got to actively pop your tails up and over the rail. Typically this would be on a normal urban style down but obviously there are a million ways you can...

curious to know which way you guys like (or tend) to hold your poles while landing/skiing switch i think of skiers as subscribing primarily to two different approaches, which i call 'parallel' style - you hold your poles up so they're roughly parallel to the hill 'rudder' style - you rotate...

If you've got a pair of current Il Moros (Pros, 110s or 90s), can you tell me which tongue came as standard in your boot? They list the flex ratings but they don't mention if it is an A, B, C etc. tongue which corresponds to that flex. Thanks so much

Who do you guys think has stacked the most clips in their career? Initially I was thinking someone like tanner, candide or maybe wallisch but it occurred to me that it might be some other long-time pro that's filmed consistently forever, like hoji, abma or maybe tanner rainville. what do you...

howdy gang, curious to hear about your personal style heroes- since it is so hard to pick a single skier, here is my mt rushmore: dave crichton - his early 2000s movie segments blew our minds. still some of my favorites to this day tom wallisch - he really changed the game when it came to...

What’s up you lovable maniacs. I've been wearing saga gear for almost 15 years now. I wanted to share with all of you the current state of my collection. If you've got something similar going on, please show us A few shoutouts to NSers who helped this happen: Jklbob for the maroon/black/gray...

Share some of your favorites or any you can think of Here is one I just made up Pow, the best feeling Go left, go right, left again Slash to fill your heart

For as long as I can remember, I’ve referred to a 270 on, front swap, back 270 off (270 on to kfed in essence) as a crown. At least around these parts, no one seems confused when I say that. Do you all say the same thing? If not, do you use a different name to describe this particular combo?

Am I out of my mind or did Emergen-C used to fizz and bubble? I got a fresh box recently and, while tasty, it is not effervescent at all!

how much you all gonna be able to shred this winter? i haven't hit 100 for the last few years but i'm super fired up for this season so i think i should be able to crack it (although i doubt i'll ever get close to my high score of 184 again)
