    So you want to mess around with lighter bindings

    Some folks like to characterize the readers of this wonderful website as a monolithic collective of tall-T wearing, rail sliding, Skullcandy Icon listening, Full Tilt boot touting park rats. And maybe, at one time, that was true. But all of us, as skiers change and grow in our relationship to...

    Why the Octopuses?

    Behind maybe mountians and ravens, I'm pretty sure squids and octopuses are the most common topsheet design element. Why? What corelation does skiing have with Cephalopoda? I mean, there are even multiple "cosmic" octopus topsheets out there! Why the obsession? Post any octopus topsheets I...

    Has a ski shop messed up your mount?

    Thinking about writing about ski shops and how unacceptable it is that they mess up ski mounts so much. Has this happened to you? If so, how did they mess up, and how did they go about making their mistake right with you? And have you noticed a difference between local ski shops and big box stores?

    Ski Movie Bingo

    Ok fellow skiers. Winter is coming up, and I'm working on creating an illustrated "Ski Movie Bingo" card. Basically, I'm putting together a list of stereotypes that appear in a bunch of ski movies. I have a pretty solid list already, but this community is bound to have a bunch more. What tired...

    2020-21 Ski Graphic Discussion

    This is a thing I think about and want to talk about way too much, so I figured it deserved its own thread. What graphics are you stoked on, who do you think phoned it in, what graphics do you not love personally but understand why they look like that? One thread for all of next winter's skis.

    PSA: Check your beacon at home.

    Just a little early season PSA prompted by a personal experience. Always turn your beacon on before you leave your house.
