    2X asset sizes

    I finally picked an avatar and noticed it's super pixellated - even the main NS logo looks a bit stretchy since I have a retina screen. You might want to update that to include 2x size assets for hi-dpi displays. For example the logo is already in a 220x80 container, so you could put a 440x160...

    Sore quads while skiing

    I'm having a problem when I ski with quad pain, pretty much halfway down the first run. Just feels like I've been doing squats for 4 straight hours and I get jello legs, like 30 seconds after I'm off the lift. I've only tried two setups - the first when I took lessons 2 years ago, I skied 10...

    Why do they use salt?

    I saw a video of Hood explaining how they use so many bags of salt all summer long. I was just wondering what the point is, I've always thought that you used salt to melt snow. Do they just sprinkle it over the top to make it more icy and reflect the heat, or something along those lines?

    Hood worth it in the winter?

    I just moved to hood river last month for the epic kiteboarding on the columbia, but I'm on a 6 month lease and I'm thinking about what I might want to do for the winter. Some of the locals I've talked to say that meadows is ok but the snow sucks, people from portland suck, etc. Is it really...

    Hey guys I just went skiing for the first time ever this season and am hooked, I am a kiteboarder but I definitely want to spend my winters skiing now. I'm moving to Hood River, so I would say about half my time will be in the park with friends on Mt Hood, and the other half will be skiing...
