So, what's up with Salomon discontinuing the rocker 2s, K2 discontinuing the Remedy series, and Armada discontinuing the VJJ? What's Bobby gonna ride when he wants to rip pow and what are the ladies gonna ride if they want wider twin tip skis? From what I've heard, Salomon removed the Rocker...

So I called them last weekend, left a voice mail, and emailed them about getting a boot conversion done, and I haven't heard back yet. Do they normally take a long time to respond or what? Has anyone else used their services before? On another note, a friend of mine strongly suggested not...

Hey friends, I'm looking to start knocking some more 14ers off my hit list this winter here in Colorado and I need some experienced mountaineers with avalanche safety knowledge and all the necessary gear to be a part of the fun. I figured this would be a good place to search for backcountry...

I just watched a kickass skydiving edit from Kavu and I can not for the life of me figure out what song this is. Shazam is being a dick about it and finding a bunch of random ass songs that sound nothing like it. Here's the edit: https://vimeo.com/134415911 Free beer on gaper day to whoever...

Wicked stoked for opening day. Definitely dressing as Saucer Boy. Look for me because I'll be the raddest skier on the mountain.

So I heard Everlasting Light by Black Keys on the radio earlier today and the intro to it sounds almost exactly like a song I heard in a ski video/movie a while ago. The intros are very similar except the intro in the song I can't remember the name of picks up and gets real energetic whereas...

Hey, I'll be in SLC next week (wed-sun) and I'm wondering what the backcountry is like around the Canyons/ PC area right now. I'll be doing speedriding lessons in the mornings and I'm thinking about doing some backcountry laps in the afternoon. Colorado backcountry is on point right now and I'm...

So I'm considering getting the Candide 2.0 for next season. I currently ski on 178 Scott TW Pros and 185 Bent Chetlers. I'm looking at the Candide 2.0 because I want a ski that's between the 86mm and 120mm underfoot of the TW and Bents respectively. I'm 6ft tall and 140 lbs. I'm a pretty...

I renewed my epic local pass for next season and now I have a free day pass to give away that expires this weekend. None of my friends who don't have a pass are available on Saturday so I'll give it to any NS member who wants it. I'll be at Breck on Saturday by the ticket office at the base of...

Whoooweeee these babies are built to charge! I skied some variable snow with them this week and compared to the 2012 BC's, the 2015's are incredible. Straight lining on these skis through bumpy crud was smooth as butter. I didn't get any tip chatter, I didn't get bucked on the bumps, and I...

So I just got a new pair of skis and I was trying to play around, do some butters, and slide around a bit but the edges make it a challenge. They're sticking to/ gripping the snow like no other. What's NS recommend?

I just won a pair of Scott Jib TW skis and I'm not sure which bindings to put on them. I'm leaning away from the Rossi FKS because you can't adjust the binding to fit different boots. I looked at the Marker Jester Pros and they're pretty expensive. My other park skis have the Atomic FFG on them...
