    East/West

    It doesn't matter if you're east or west. A real skier can adapt to any terrain. As far as the mountains go you'll never know what the east has to offer unless you earn your turns. There's plenty of backcountry in NY, VT, and NH with sick lines and steep vert. If you want snow go to Jay Peak...

    skiing is a joke

    Mommy just admit it. All you own is a plastic snowboard from Walmart, and every time you try to sneak on the hill you get kicked off. I bet all the girls laugh at you, and you spend your time at home beating off to gay porn. You might as well give it up cause skiing will always rule. Tell...

    gymnastics

    Anything that requires a lot of balance will help. Try riding a unicycle or build yourself a tight rope. After your good on a tight rope change it up to a slack rope. Then your balance will be really good. Arc 'em or park 'em

    bindings and skis

    It depends, if you get bindings with the same mounting pattern you probably won't have to redrill at all. Even if the holes were stripped they can be filled and retapped. If the new bindings have a new pattern, as long as they don't interfere with the old holes you can mount in the same place...

    Warren Miller vs. PBP/LV1/etc

    I started out watching Miller flicks. They seemed great, until I saw Licence to Thrill and Blizzard of Ahhhs by Gregg Stump. Schmitt and Plake kicked ass. Sure Warren has great skiers in his movies, but you never really get to see them. I know a snowboarder who was in a couple of Warren's...

    warm gloves

    Outdoor Research makes some sick mountaineering gloves and mitts. I had a pair of their basic mitts with some cheap wool mitts underneath. The only days my hands got cold was when it was -15F and under. Arc 'em or park 'em

    Smelly gloves

    Washing them shouldn't be a problem. Use regular laundry detergent and hand wash them. When you dry them out just hang 'em. Don't put them in the dryer, or by the heater. That will fuck 'em up. When they're good and dry rub some waterproofing wax like snowseal or aquaseal on them to keep...

    mounting point on skis

    Think of this mark as a reference point. The old method was to measure from tip to tail and mount your bindings with the front of the boot at, in front of, or behind the center of this measurement depending on what type of skiing you were going to use them for. Back then you really only had a...

    Slides @ Whiteface

    Ha, you better hope for one hell of a storm. You can check their website, but you're better off trying to hike in the backcountry. Arc 'em or park 'em

    Titus Slopestyle

    TIGHT ASS Mountain. Malone needs to move their landfill there to build it up, so they can actually call it a Mountain. Although, the backside of the upper Mountain has some nice slides, but you'd have to drive around and hike. Arc 'em or park 'em

    James Bond

    It was 'The Spy Who Loved Me'. Does anyone know where I can get one of those suits in the move? Arc 'em or park 'em

    this is why racing makes so much more sence...

    P.S. Who ever said racing sucks don't know shit. More top atheletes come straight out of alpine and freestyle programs than anywhere else. You're probably just a park rat anyway, so I don't have to worry about you being in the way. Arc 'em or park 'em

    this is why racing makes so much more sence...

    Progression during competition? It makes no sense. If the judges are watching a trick for the first time what are they to think? During most judged comps competitors pull off established tricks that the judges know what to look for, and it's the athlete who does them with the best form who...

    twintip vs straighttail

    Twin tip or race boards? If you're not going fast enough you're either not using the right wax, at a hill that's too small, or you suck. I wouldn't worry about shit like that, and what kind of poser trys to be a racer with their twin tips. They must really suck! Arc 'em or park 'em
