    Killy or stratton pass?

    I would go with Killy. The parks are alright, but for everything you are asking for Killington has it. I am at ends for what pass to get this year as well. Killy has its issues, I mostly hate the crowds. But, there are other benefits: First to open First to close Lots of lodging options...

    OFFICIAL-Killington/Pico Sold:

    bad link, well at least for me. This kind of sucks, no all for one pass next year I guess. That was the only good thing about ASC.

    So, I managed to break another pair of skis this year. Delamed my Liberty Choppers on the tip and tail and rail damamge the length of the boot. There toast. Liberty does not warranty rail damage, great. One of my friends told me I should just demo skis the rest of the year. It would offsite the...

    South shore soldiers...

    All I saw was people smokin weed and lots of drinkin. No coke, but it could be at any camp. The camp is set up for anyone. Even if you are not that good, they will work with you on whatever you want.

    South shore soldiers...

    I went last year as well. Just pros from Ninthward (skiing wise). Great time though, good coaching, good parties, good park, and lots of fun. Well worth the money. Ben is that you (outerlimitz?) its Scott if it is.

    Hip pad?

    Yes, they work. These are different than the ones I have. Much more stylish. I'll sell you my sweaty old ones, to get a pair of these. I am sure they offer the same protection. I basically busted my hip the beginning of last year. I have mutiple injuries due to other sports. Without these I...

    Hip pad?

    I wear the ones from Red. I have the same problem with my hip. I hurt it bad and it has never been the same. I don't know football pads well, but if they fit under you pants you should be fine.

    Heli piliot

    I work as a professional fixed wing (not helicopter) pilot. I went to a small college called Daniel Webster in NH. There are many others all over the nation. Went to NH to be able to ski though. Civilian Helicopter Pilot's are very hard to come by. Most get all there training in the military...

    Why does X Games hate skiing?

    I think you guys have it all wrong. This is a good thing! They put skiing on last so that you have to watch all the stupid sleds. If they put skiing on first would you keep watching the snocross? Thus losing them advertising possibilities! Coverage sucks, they never show all the runs even...

    Wa wa?

    Ya the jump was not 55 feet. Dave, he runs the park, told me it was about 40 feet (maybe 60 ft with air time). The lip was not big, a booter really kicks you high. That jump was smooth with no back kick to it, I hit it all year it was a good set up. I thought for no snow they did a great job...

    Saftey grabs.... so far....

    Not sure why or how you are having trouble with this. If you can do other grabs a saftey is done the same way. Like said you can bring your skis up to one side. I am very unflexable and can get both types of grabs easly. Just like a mute or anything else, tuck your knees up, reach down to the...

    Specific question about skiing switch..

    It is just like regular riding. Just look over the shoulder you want to turn and press hard. I feel it takes more pressure than riding regular, that could depend on your binding mount though. I do find that my outside ski does tend to slide up, but this is just natural with me. I do it going...
