    All Mountain Ski for CO

    I'm moving out to Colorado and I'm hoping to get a good playful daily driver that I can use in all conditions. I have a park ski (Filthy Rich's), but I want something bigger for all mountain.

    University of Michigan

    What's the ski scene up here like? Anyone know how Brighton's park is? Is there anywhere else I should check out? I'm a freshman, I'm down to go to Brighton/wherever this season. Hit me up, I'm definitely looking for people to ski with.

    2014 Salomon STH2 13 vs. 2013 Marker Griffons

    So I'm looking into buying my next pair of skis soon, and I need some advice. I'm currently riding Line Masterminds with Marker Squires, which was my first park setup. It was a good setup for starting on, but after a season and a half, both the skis and the bindings are starting to fall apart. I...

    Following People on NS

I usually...

    I'm deciding between these two skis for next year, I ski 60% rails 20% jumps and 20% groomers, and I live in Ohio so no pow or big mountain stuff. I'm looking for a ski that will be poppy and I'm looking to progress a lot on it. Also durability is definitely a selling point for me, I need my...

    Nordica Questions

    Hey guys, I've got a couple questions about Nordica's lineup. I'm looking at the Dead Money and the Double Sixes, and I want to know the difference. The skis have very similar dimensions (Double Six: 120-84-109, Dead Money: 121-86-110), and both have sintered bases, yet there is a $100 price...

    Playing SKATE with Snowboarders

    Has anyone ever played a game of skate on snow with a boarder? How does it work? And are there any baseline rules that have to be established so they can play?
