    From purely a legal and financial perspective

    ski patrollers make the mountain safer. Like… a lot. BUT, I do not believe the park city patrollers have a leg to stand on. I’ve been reading a lot into this and vail is looking to set precedent here, and they hold the cards. Yes, the ski industry is understaffed, but working at a ski resort is...

    Didn’t even notice

    I bought these older bent chetlers from another NS member for quick deep tours around my local ranges. They are heavy af and obvi frame bindings don’t help, but I love em and they get the job done while showing impressive durability. I took this picture back when it dumped in October. Looking...

    Why Virtika?

    I’ve been noticing a lot of NS virtika ads. Are they that desperate for cash? Are there honestly people out there buying virtika? I’ve always roasted kids until they bought other gear. Seems a little embarrassing.

    Vail at 1%

    can anyone remember a year when the resorts opened this late with this little terrain? No snow in the forecast, season pass sales up. I hope y’all like lines and blue groomers.

    Stick it to the man

    Here’s the thing. Multi resort passes screw locals over; there’s no two ways about it. The death of the day pass means out of towners are encouraged to travel more and spend less per location, which is not good for infrastructure, emissions, or long term housing. Don’t let someone tell you that...

    The fate of iSki13

    Like S**** Valley, @iSki13 got cancelled by NS mods. Why? They weren’t hurting anyone, and were arguably one of the most active NS members when it came to producing content (which was a hell of a lot better than having to sift through Cy Whitlings bs). NS mods are not only a stain upon the...

    Snowbird park rats

    Where are all the homies who also: 1. live in SLC 2. only ski park 3. only ski snowbird People don’t understand that snowbird is core. Why wait in a 20 minute line at PC when you could stand in a 40 minute line for gadzoom.

    Palisades Tahoe

    Sawtooths in March

    Has anyone tried to do Sawtooth backcountry touring as late as March? I know a few years ago it was super ass but I’ve also seen the fake powder shots in April. Wondering if it’s worth taking a week off in mid-March and what to expect. I was in Oregon for the spring last year so I’m not super...

    Idaho Bike Parks

    Can someone give me the rundown? I know Bogus and Tamarack are sweet but I’m trying to decide if Sun Valley is worth the drive from Boise.

    NS Private Equity

    Look. when POWDER mag and saga went under I offered to buy it. They aren’t that expensive. There are ski resorts for sale out there that could easily be purchased by NS members. Where is the crowdfund?
