    Edge cracks on Vishnus

    For around 15 days of skiing brand new detuned Vishnu wets and I already have a total of 15 edge cracks across both skis. I have switched my skis every day so that can’t be the issue. This also happened to my wides last season where I had a total of 20+ edge cracks. Why does this keep happening...

    Ski shop botched my Vishnus

    After waiting months for my Vishnus to arrive and being super excited to ski on them, the ski shop botched the mounting. They basically took the wrong boot that was smaller and mounted my bindings for it, so now they have to remount the bindings again for my actual boots except due to the...

    My Vishnus are on life support

    I know I already made a thread about this but it’s getting exponentially worse. I contacted emmet and he generously sent me a new ski as warranty, but the problem is It was only sent one ski (most likely because I told him that only one of my skis was damaged at the time), but both my skis are...

    What would you call this trick?

    I know I didn’t land it but if you could In vision the complete rotation what would it be? To me it looks like a nose bud hand drag cork 7 or something https://www.newschoolers.com/videos/watch/1061166/trim-92F6B2E0-F427-4163-B0D7-4CE4C38B55BA-MOV

    The durham clones are getting out of hand

    This has gotten out of control It’s like the second plague. Everywhere I go I always see at least 4 Durham clones with fitted coats, tan harluats, Oakley mod 1 with white line miners over the helmet, and ridiculously zesty style. Anyone else agree?

    Anyone know any big side hits in Vermont/New Hampshire?

    How do I thicken my pants and make them less like parachutes?

    My snowpants are really thin and like parachute pants which causes them to move around and flap a lot and not exactly retain there shape like harlaut cargos do. So I was thinking what if I took a thick fabric or something and lined the inside with it, would that work to make the pants less...

    Concern about pivot 15 bindings not fully clicking in

    I recently got pivot 15s but I think there might be a problem. Whenever I put my boots on and step into the bindings it doesn’t make a loud snappy pop like I would think and the heel piece also doesn’t seem fully locked in. What I mean by that is that the heel piece wiggles back and forth a...
