Having trouble getting the GH5 autofocus to focus on the skier... the background is super clear but the skier is always a little blurry. I've been using AFC but it seems to have trouble focusing on the skier, anyone else experience this an have any fixes? Or am I just totally blowing it with the...

I've been wondering the past few years... what exactly is the deal with Woodward/POWDR? Woodward is a part of POWDR.... is every "Woodward @ BlankPark" a POWDR owned resort? or is POWDR also doing partnerships with resorts owned by other groups? For example, Woodward PC is obviously an...

What’s up fam, really want to try and use a work holiday visa to work down at cardrona or treble cone next summer. I know NZ isn’t accepting visas rn but I was wondering if Americans had any experience doing Southern Hemisphere winter or working down in NZ. really wanna check the endless...

Always loved EDM and bass music, just bought a traktor deck to play with while rehabbing from a knee surgery. Been having a blast playing with it and watching some youtube tutorials. Used to play a little bit of piano but I'm not a super experienced musician. Really excited to learn about...

lil passion project here .... what y’all think?? Looking for constructive feedback from serious creatives... https://www.instagram.com/tv/CMhv1tCBTm7/?igshid=st5eqn8l0v16 Told myself I wanted to make a season edit of the gang... basically whoever I ended up skiing with. Only brought the GH5...

Jammed my hand into the snow with my pole straps on a few times during some early season jibbing..... what do now? been icing and bracing for a few days now but I still have somewhat pathetic dexterity sounds like the classic pole strap “skiers thumb” is actually ligament damage, does anyone...

Does anyone know if Dakine is re-releasing their sidecountry vest this season or is discontinued? Can't seem to find much on the interwebz. Thanks!

DISCLAIMER: im a goshdarn nerd so read no further if you're not into aliens, zombies, scifi, or period dramas. BUT yeah i friggin loved this short from Neil Blomkamp of District 9 and Elysium fame. stumbled upon it in a reddit hole and it caught me right in those bored spooky fall day vibes. he...

I've always thought about buying a pair of ON3P's, they have a great reputation, friends who have them love em, and its cool to ski a boutique ski company making it happen and standing by their product. I'm also definitely falling prey to their guerilla marketing campaign putting out banger...

Hey guys, just looking for some constructive criticism on this website I've been working on. Was hurt and laid up on the couch last summer and I started it as just a fun little side project that I've been contributing to and building for a little over a year now. NS has served as an inspiration...

Anyone ordered gear online from JetCamera? It seems their cameras tend to be several hundred dollars less than other online retailers, is it just because they sell the warranty separately?

As I’m sure you all know, ON3P has been blowing up the past few years and I’ve heard awesome things from my friends who’ve ridden them. Honestly one of the only brands I’ve ever considered paying full price for, and my shop may be bringing them in next season so I might get pro-form. Either way...

Researching a new camera body and I've really been leaning towards sony Alpha S II or RII (just can't decide if I want better photos or 4k video) but now I'm intrigued by the Panasonic Lumix GH4 after having seen a lot of chatter online about it and noticing it being used in a lot of edits...

Anyone here submit anything to Freeskier's Shootout contest? Haven't seen any buzz on NS about it so i figured I'd make a thread. I just submitted one to the scenic category:http://shootout.freeskier.com/?contest=photo-detail&photo_id=12490 because I'm rehabbing a shitty skiing injury and have...

What up NS, I have a Canon 60d that I split with my gf a few years back that I use mostly for landscape or skiing photography, all we have is the 18-200mm kit lens, so I've been looking to expand my horizons. I've been eyeing some sigma, rokinon, and canon wideangles in the 3-400 dollar price...
