My 13 year old daughter needs new skis. She is about 5'2 and maybe 100lbs. She has only been out maybe 6 times so we will call her a beginner all mountain type skier. Any recommendations for skis and bindings? Christmas is coming!

I was watching the second Kingsman movie last night and the skis two of the characters are holding look like the 2016 blends. I didn't see any Line branding on them but their topsheet is pretty recognizable. Kind of an odd choice for a prop. I wonder why they chose those over any other ski...

My wife just sent this link to me. It's like the 80's threw up on these things. So terrible. I told her hard no. She says yes. I better not get one for Christmas. https://www.tipsyelves.com/ski-clothing

Share some pics of the view from the top of your hill(s). Even small shitty hills tend to have a nice view of something.

I have seen some old recommendations mounting bindings on Line Blends at -2. I was just curious if that would suit me. Mostly skiing east coast groomers and trees. Very little park but I will take the odd lap for sure. Thoughts?

I have looked at these a few times in the last couple months, mostly because I saw that a couple guys on here work there. I am down for supporting the people I "know". The cost for the poles themselves are decent enough but the shipping to Canada is killer. Is it worth another $40 just for...

Post some pics of your costumes, Bitches.

So my new skis are sitting at my inlaws in the US. My wife has decided she won't be able to bring them with her when she comes home tomorrow because she has a baby and way too much shit to worry about already (Which I would agree with) and that means I need to figure out the cheapest way to get...

I have Jester pro's right now that I had bought for the skis I thought I was going to get. I ended up changing my mind and got a pair of 2016 Blends, which on on the way. Should I keep the Jesters or return them and pick up a set of Tyrolia Attack 13's that everyone seems to talk pretty highly...

A friend of mine is looking for new skis. I told her I'd see what you ski bums might recommend for her. She says she like short skis. At her local shop, she was recommended to ride 130cm. Seems a little short to me, but here's the details. 5'4", 125lbs, says she's about a 6.5/10 for ability...

Got something to get off your chest? Feel like telling NS a secret? Ever wanted to share your feelings about other that girl or guy that has you locked into the friend zone? This is the place to do it!

I changed my mind about what I was going to buy and also decided to work some overtime on the holiday coming up so my budget just went up for a new set of skis. I'd say anything $600 would be the max I want to spend since I'm picking up a new pair of boots this year too. I live on the east...

Park - Groomers - Pow - Other - Annd go!

I've been debating taking the oldest kid (12) on a ski trip somewhere either this year or next, depending on money, his attitude and how well he progresses with his skiing. I've been to Attitash, Sugarloaf and Marble Mountain as far bigger east coast hills. I'm wondering if there's one that...

So my wife and I have found out we're having another kid. This will be #4 in our home (and the last!!!) We have my step-son, Jack (12). My daughter (home half the time), Mia (7). Our son, Hiro (1.5). And now the unknown gendered baby due sometime in March-ish. So let's hear your thoughts...
