Me and my friend are planning to drive from the UP in Michigan all the way down to South America in the Andes Range the summer after we graduate to do some alpine touring and some charity work before we start our careers as engineers.
We made a blog a couple days ago and will be continuing to...
A lot of companies have all-mountain skis in the 100 - 105 mm range and I am wondering how they do on rails? I know wider park skis have more stability on rails but make it harder to do swaps and spins but is 100+ mm waist too much? Any input appreciated
I really want to pick a pair of these up but I would like to ride them in the park a lot as well as all mountain. I wont be using them in pow since I already have a pow ski. I'm a bigger guy but I am wondering if the 100 mm or 101 mm waist is to wide? Any input is appreciated, thanks
I'm 6 ft 200lbs. I need a ski for mostly park but I want to be able to take it all around the mountain as well. I already have a pow ski in my quiver so i wont be skiing in it in anything over 3 inches, but i have afterbangs now and I'm not a big fan. Anything helps thanks.
I want a ski that can handle many park laps but also can rip up groomers and light pow. Need some advice from fellow NSer's.
My choices so far:
Line - Chronic
Armada - Alpha X
Armada - Al Dente
Volkl - Bridge
Moment - Tahoe
Any input would be appreciated

little kids on leashes
more tow ropes than chairlifts
More fucking Ice

I recently destroyed my last pair of park skis and with the season starting I bought a pair of the 2013 afterbangs on cyber monday because it was the only semi-decent park ski that I could afford, but I know that a lot of people have had trouble with waterlogging and I was wondering if there is...
