Yah I'm a noob for putting this on Ski Gabber, sorry. But I figured more people comment on this rather than Gear Talk. So here's the deal... I was just wondering if anyone has ever done this or has any tips. I've collected a ton of poles (probably about 7 pairs) from ski swaps, garage sales, and...

I was just wondering if anyone has ever done this or has any tips. I've collected a ton of poles (probably about 7 pairs) from ski swaps, garage sales, and finding some old ones around the house. I was first going to take the grips off and cut down the poles. Any recommendations on the size of...

I've always wondered how having a job as park crew would be. you dig rails, maintain jumps, and session whatever you make all day.is there any training involved, and how long is it. it seems like a pretty fun and laid back job. it would be fun to try for a season. pay must suck but any insight????

I don't know what size to get. 169 or 177. Im 5'8 and 145 lbs. need them from around nose to forehead height. Which would be best??? thanks

I'm 5'8, 140 lbs, preferably 165 to around 175 roughly depending on the skis, but im looking for a park specific decent on rails/jumps for a cheap or reasonable price. A few scratches or dinks are fine as long as the brake and ski work well. Max price range would be roughly 200. Maybe some used...

I was looking to buy new ski boots and had a question about bsl. I'm 5.8, 140lbs and have a 27/27.5 boot size, which is about a 9/9.5 shoe size. My foot is currently a 10/10.5 so I am looking for a 28/28.8 ski boot size. My current bsl for my boot is 317, what bsl should I be looking for? And...

I'm 5.8, around 140 lbs, and need skis for my backyard jibbing so they wouldn't have to be in good condition. I'm currently using my old line invaders from 06, but they're on their last leg and I don't feel that they will make it much longer. Offers would be appreciated, but my max price would...

Im 5'8 ft, around roughly 140lbs, have a 10/10.5 size foot, and need a CHEAP (can be beat up, smell bad, abused, used, etc) for summer jibbing. Any offers would be appreciated, but max price range would be around 150. Thanks

What bindings would you recommend for the Volkl Walls. I'm pretty skinny and short, I weigh about 145/150 lbs, 5-8 ft, and ski park (rails/jumps, pow, trees, groomers, everything. Thanks

I need new skis because my Line Invaders are beaten up. I need a ski that can carve on groomers because I'm a ski instructor, but on my days off I love to make laps in the park. So i need a ski that is solid on jumps and has a decent lightweight for rails. I've been looking at the Armada AR6 and...

Hey everyone, what skis would you get for next year? And what skis would you recommend for a skier that wants a decent shovel on the ski so they can shred some wider turns through East Coast crud, but at the same time hit/absorb jumps and have a semi-lightweight butter zone for rails. Pretty...

Hey everybody, doesn't life involve following your dream and heart to be happy. Well my dream is to ski everyday. I was thinking about teaching in New Zealand after I'm done with High School and also teach in the West Coast. Currently I am teaching at Belleayre Mountain in New York. I am going...

Hey everyone, this season will be my first year teaching kids how to ski. I'm guessing that pretty much everyone who knows how to ski has either had a formal lesson or has been taught by their parents. From good and bad experiences, any tips on what I should do this season?

I heard that Killington has K-1 open and I was wondering if anyone has skied Killington yet. If you have is it worth traveling 3 and a half hours because there's probably a long lift line and it hasn't snowed much? And is it open on weekdays? I was just wondering because I really can't wait for...
