cant complain about my foils......and they get thru crud

just keep moving and looking ahead. the minute you start thinking of bad shit is when it happens.

the forecast is for rain up and down the east coast tomorrow and saturday. sunday will be ur best day and thats not even goin to be good. the weather looks like it is goin to make a switch to winter over the next week, so id say save ur cash and go in a couple weeks when the mountains are...

then what is good? ill be out there sunday.

if ur hitting up utah dont bother with park city and ski some big mountains or bc instead. alta/snowbird for a day, solitude for a day are a must. snowbasin is a little bit of a drive but an awesome mountain. the canyons is ok but has good backcountry (did that last year and was a great...

How is it that Heavenly only has like 13/90 trails open? Are they that type of resort that waits until theres a huge base until trails open? Checking out some of the other Tahoe areas, they have much more open and something here doesnt add up. Im heading out to Heavenly Jan 7th so thats why...

Wax your skis after everytime out. Keeps the bases in much better shape not to mention you'll be sliding down the hill better. If your not gonna use your skis or if its the last day of the season, scrape off a little bit of the wax and keep some on the ski. Then when you go skiing next, all...

Ill let you know in august how it is. got a trip planed to Portillo!!!!!!!!!!

You guys should be kissing Killington's ass instead of bashing um. That mountain is looking way better than anything else east of the mississippi. They are making more snow than any other mountain.....very expensive and the only people who are skiing are season pass holders. So really they...

They have snowmakers that make snow in any temp. Tenney Mountain in NH had one (theyre like 1/2 a million dollars) and I was able to get some turns in October 5th that year.

go up to jay, theres natural up there.

I have a pair of 174 FOILs (last years model) and i think they are a good size for me. Im 6'0" 185 and I love these skis. You can always go longer and it not be a problem. Ill still throw on my K2 C4s and they are 188 and have no probably skiing the extra foot. Id say the only thing limiting...

Is your edge actually gone or is the top of the ski like chipped off? I have a pair of the 05/06 FOILs and in between the binding and tail, the top of the ski is like chipped off (on both skis). Like you said, something seems weird here.

After you melt the wax and then spread it out with the iron, just let it sit until its like room temp and then you know ur good to go. I normally do a ski, then the next one, then go back to the first ski and scrape the wax off.
