    What's your home mountain?

    bittersweet, timber ridge, crystal mountain. The skiing in Michigan sucks, though Crystal usually has a bad ass park.

    Novel about freeskiers

    jackson has one of the sickest backcountries anywhere. also, the skiers and the scene in jackson is unreal. pros and locals just rip together. the cliffs and kickers in the backcountry, oh i'm getting anxious just thinking about it.

    Anybody ski V-Pro's?

    volkl and marker go together well, but because of markers binding, they can eject a lot easier. I suggest a salomon binding for park and pipe consideration

    It's that time of year again

    You know what mammothpunks, you don't even know about people who ski in Michigan. The truth is that there are good skiers at every hill. People that learn on ice, probably have better skills than the snow spoiled. Besides head up to the Upper Pennisula and you can huck 60 footers. You don't...

    question about Jackson Hole

    jackson is bad ass. it doesn't have the greatest park, but the halfpipe is nice. get out of bounds and hit the powder. there is nothing like cowboy snow in wyoming. i'll be there in february. the locals are some of the best free skiers anywhere. try and get in with the locals and you won't...

    Soft...Hard...What the hell is really the difference?

    A softer ski is usually associated with novice to intermediate skiers. However, twintip skis are not like other skis and a lot of people think softer is better. You have to try a harder ski in order to make the comparison. Go demo the Volkl V or something like that. Lines make a pretty soft ski.

    I think ski tv is on fox sports, at least that's it's channel in michigan. They just had a whole special on half pipe, slopestyle, and big air.

    Gloves or Mittens

    Lobster claws. The warmth of mittens but with a little more mobility. Mine have kevlar in the palm so they grip really well

    jAckson Hole, a few questions

    yeah, I'm going to be out in Jackson in Feb as well. Last year at Christmas time the snow was not too hot. This year by the end of December they had 174 inches. Corbets should have quite the couloir by the time you get out there. if you want to ski the park or moguls, Jackson is not the...
