Hey guys, I've tried skiing maybe 5-10 times now after snowboarding from many years and I really like it, moreso than snowboarding, however I just can't get passed the intense quad burn that comes with it. I have 186 Armada ARVs with recommended mount spot, and I use very stiff boots. I'm...

Is it always a good idea to size down from where your foot measures? I measure right between a 27 and 27.5 and feel okay in a 27.5 but wondering if it may become to big after it breaks in. I tried a 26.5 and it was uncomfortable but not unbearable, just hoping I didn't go too big. I have a wider...

Hello, looking for advice on buying my first pair of boots. Should I ever pay attention to "reviews" of different boots or "park/freestyle" vs "all-mountain boots" etc.. I see that a lot of people love full tilts, but I tried all of them on and none really fit my foot. Should I base my decision...

I'm just starting to get into park skiing after years of just being a good all-mountain/backcountry skiier. My brother gave me some unmounted Salomon twenty-twelve twin-tip skiis and I was told to mount it dead center. My question is how badly would center mounting this ski affect me for the...

what's a good boot flex rating for all-mountain use including powder/park/jibs/trees/bumps?

website said they got 15 feet of new snow last week, wtf? everywhere else is closed and they got 15 feet of new snow WITH new snow incoming...

so my brother spilled red paint all over my helmet and it looks like SHIT, ive tried everything and cant get it off and scratched the hell out of it trying to scrape it off. I'm thinking of intentionally cracking it or something and sending it into smith to try and get a replacement. Would that...

Anyone been there recently? Suppose to have like almost 100 inches of new snow within the past week. And they're saying theres a chance they could be open the entire year lol.

I want a pole length that I can use for everything; park, pow, groomers, trees etc. I am 5'10''. I am thinking like 46 inch. thoughts?

I just bought these and they are so badass but they dont fit my damn helmet, are there any helmets that they fit?

I need some comfy socks that are super moisture wicking. What are the top of the line socks? I have been wearing regular cotton socks that I wear in my shoes and I'm getting TONS of blisters.
