In the market for new powder skis and not sure what to get. I'm looking for something that has excellent float and is maneuverable. I will not be using them in the park or on groomers, so they should be solely powder skis. They'll be used for backcountry, cliffs, etc. My top choices right now...

As part of my ski area ops degree I have an internship at a resort of my choosing next year. I'm either going into grooming or ski patrol. Right now my top 5 are whistler, timberline, park city, mammoth, and jackson hole. From your experience, what are the best places to work? Also, if any of...

Last december i bought a pair tecnica cochises and they were great for the first few weeks, but after that they started to not stay tight and create a lot of shinspace. Its gotten to the point where I can't even use the boots anymore because I have to undo and retighten every buckle and strap...

Im currently working on front flips and I'm thinking about trying a misty 5. i was wondering which was easier. it seems like you can spot a misty but its more technically difficult. i was thinking about trying it on the first medium at copper, about 15 foot gap. I keep just barely underotating...

im looking to get new skis this season and im torn between the armada el rey and volkl wall. im looking for a light ski, but also one designed specifically for park. the wall seems more park oriented , but also heavier. i have salomon bindings and technica boots. im hoping to get mistys...

mine is when my dad's friend said that when he was in college his roommates dared him to shove a corncob halfway up his ass and go downtown and buy some ice-cream. they were gonna pay him $500 but he decided not to after much deliberation cuz he didn't want to be labeled a pedophile.

i was at a basin yesterday and forgot my skis there so we have to get them saturday. anyone else one this before?

which is harder, a 540 or a front flip

I need a new pair of park bindings for my liberty limited team edition 2012. They are 157 centimeters long and 7.5 centimeters wide in the middle. Im 5'7" 140 pounds, advanced skier, i do jumps and rails mostly. they should be fairly light. The 'look pivot 14 ski bindings 2014" seem like a good...

which do you think is harder, cuz it seems like since they're both circular, they would be the same

My school district started aug. 22 (we get out may 30) it seems like every other school district starts in september. I seems pretty stupid to me to start when it's still 90 degrees out. Anyone else's start this early?

I'm worried I'm not progressing fast enough on tramp and skis. Is this rate of progression normal? Tramp for 2 years: frontflip, backflip, lincoln, misty (both ways), misty 3, misty 5, misty 7, cork 5, cork 7, cork 9, dub front flip to pad, dub frontflip 180 to pad, dub lincoln to foam, misty...

Is there any way to make my 12 foot trampoline more bouncy, other than wetting it?

I've been wanting to build a rail setup in my yard for a while but I'm not sure how or what materials to use, especially for the ramp. I only have about 22-23 feet of room. A price range would also be helpful.
