Hey what are those things called that strap around and hold your poles to your skis as one unit so you don't have to carry poles and skis seperately, I have been using rubber bands to hold poles next to skis but I've seen strap sort of things that would work better, do you know where I can find...

Hi, Last week I think, I fell and the inside of my right ski bashed at an angle into the inside of my left ski and the right skis edge cut into the top sheet sort of where the top sheet meets the metal edge and it went pretty deep, so the wood is splintered out kind of where it chipped and it...

Am I the only one who, when I am not actually skiing, can picture myself doing things with much more confidence and ease? Like thinking about jumps, tricks etc. and that sort of thing, I can just imagine myself doing/trying some of the things pretty realistically, but actually when I am clicked...

Hi, This doesn't involve anyone who skis park, but most of the time on the steep run-ins down to a jump, drop whatever, it seems like it is very choppy, moguly etc. and when you are trying to go faster it always throws me backseat, and then when I take off it screws up my balance horribly...

So this is my 3rd year skiing and I am 15yrs old, ski at Snowbird, and I usually get around 30 days per year. I just thought I would progress a lot faster than I have and I haven't really gotten much better since last December, I have gotten better I am a better skier and do bigger stuff, but...

Hi, I'm 14 years old and I ski at Alta, this is my 3rd year skiing I think, and I am pretty bummed that I haven't really progressed much how I wanted to since the beginning of last season. I have gotten better but I still am pretty bad compared to a lot of people. I can do 180's and I did like...

Hi, I got a Causwell reasons jacket over the summer in Large (I'm about 5'8) so it's not that long and baggy anyway I used to wear a tee shirt underneath my old Salomon Reflex jacket but just a tee will be too cold for my jacket now, those of you who have it what do you wear underneath for...

What are some good plain black ski pants that are somewhat baggy but not too baggy, I have a causwell blue and brown jacket I just want black pants and Saga is great but I just want to just get plain pants. I wear shorts and tee shirt and I had Salomon reflex pants but they were always too small...

How warm are they??? I had a Salomon reflex jacket but I didn't like very much so I saw a good deal at causwell and grabbed one (50 bucks). I ask because I used to be fine last winter all the way down to single digit temps just wearing shorts and cotton tee shirt in my saly jacket, when I hear...

Hi, So just some background: I am 15, ski Snowbird, I learned to ski when I was 6 but never really enjoyed it and you know how that goes, if you aren't having fun, I just skied around 3 times a year or so until last year I decided to really take it up. I got to the point to where at the end...

Hi, I have one pair of skis that I use for everything and I have gotten a few coreshots early season and got those fixed and bases waxed. I haven't done anything since and my skis feel fine, I never feel like the skis are "slow." I have recently gotten another gash that went through the ptex...

So I have been using some $150 fischer ski boots for the last 2 years and I am more than likely going to need new boots next year since my feet have grown a bit. This year it seems like more than last I have been getting some killer shin bang. I ski every weekend and after skiing Saturday it's...

Hi, So I pretty much started skiing last year (well, outside of barely doing parralel turns on groomers). I have skied a shit ton since then probably close to 70 times here up at Snowbird I would say. Anyways, now I am a decent skier, I am always working on my skiing as far as making good...

I just got Sir Francis Bacon skis in the 178 length and I have not skied them yet but I have been on Rossignol junior S7 skis in the 160 length. I mounted my bacons with Marker Squire's and I haven't skied them yet but they do feel a lot heavier as far as swing weight This won't throw me off...

No I am not talking about learning them, but I do have some questions. First let me say I technically picked up skiing last year so I am still kind of new and trying to progress as fast as I can. 180: I am decent switch but it gets very sketchy at best for the landings and run-outs for me even...
