    Attacks for 50 bucks less than STH2s worth the switch?

    Can get either Attack 13s for 200CAD or STH2s for 250CAD. Been skiing the sths on my other pairs for a few years now and like em, but wouldn't mind a cheaper lighter binding for the new sticks. Downsides of making the switch?

    Thoughts on a two ski quiver.

    Thinking about switching up the gear for next season since my season will be much shorter and less predictable the next winter or two. Moving from a 3 ski down to a 2 ski general package. Anyone using something like a 102 + 116 quiver? Just want a pair of low tide and high tide skis that can...

    WC108 / 4Frnt Dev

    Which do you think would end up being more playful spinning / slashing and manual-ing around the mountain? Both on the stiffer side of the playful ~108 skis, similar mount (although id roll up to -4 from true probably). And also lightish, for a 70/30 whistler / tour ski. 184/186cms for a 176cms...

    Is the company Faction going full conglomerate-mode?

    Feels like faction is going the way of the soulless megacorp hellbent on making as much money as possible at the expense of heart, passion, etc. Obviously this is the way of all successful businesses, and congrats to them for making money in a difficult industry, but it definitely makes it...

    First time mounting my own skis. Watch me succeed or fail.

    Second mount on these skis. Going to mount STH2 16s I took off a different pair. Part 1: Measuring on my lunch break. Started taking photos after step 3, but re-creating to show my process. 1) I measured tip to tip to find true center, luckily the graphic line was perfectly lined up with my...

    Lesser known retail apparel you like.

    Yo NS, I have some connection to people with influence for bringing in new lines of clothing / equipment to some board / skate / surf shops in the US. What are some lesser known cool brands you'd like to see in a retail location or what brands do you really like for your style.

    Measuring True Center

    Picked up some 2020 bdogs this summer second hand still with the base sticker on. Getting ready to take it to the shop for a mount, turns out its missing a 'recommeded' mark on one of the skis. Measured with a straight tape tip to tail and a carpenter square, and the one ski that does have a...

    Coastal BC is fucked.

    If anyone's planning road trips to Whistler this year, you might need to re-think. Practically all major roads into / out of Vancouver are destroyed by floods and rain. Abbotsford is about to become a lake, and Chilliwack has become an island. Tons of evacuations, and more rain on the forecast...

    Prodigy 3.0 Graphics translated

    Looked up what the wavy words are, turns out its a famous French Palindrome "Engage le jeu que je le gagne." or "Start the game so that I may win." Side note, anyone ride the 2021s?

    Non-center mount feels wrong.

    Rode center mount bentchetlers for like 6 years at least, probably not an amazing call but I was young. Now anything farther back than 3cms from true center feels like there barely any ski behind me. Feelswackman.

    Post your ride.

    Let see what you degenerates use to get to your local pow stash. '08 Impreza gets me up and down the west coast mountains, and I don't even vape. Pops and I working on renovating a Ford van for camping

    What is the ultimate PNW 105-110mm do-it-all ski?

    Park/Pow/Cliffs/Rails steep lines and swervy times, what do you think is the top of the line do everything better ski? Inb4 Jeffrey 108.
