    Ski shop mounted and broke my binding - problematic or cosmetic?

    Took my pivot 14s and some rock skis to the shop to mount, got them back and after getting home realized they broke the plastic on the heelpiece completely off on this one and cracked both sides of the same area on the other ski. Doesn't seem structural, maybe caused by overtightening the mount...

    Has anyone painted skis?

    I'm getting married in October and my fiancée and I want to use skis as a guest book. The plan is to paint the tops of some skis white and have people sign over that, then clearcoat after so it preserves it. Definitely won't be skiing these, they'll likely just go on a wall in the garage long...

    Adding grabs to spins

    Got my 3s and switch 3s down pretty nice, bringing the knees up, controlled and even spin, basically picture Henriks yknow? (Obv not) Everything changes when I go for a grab. I'm trying to wait until 180 to grab so I get a good pop and commit to the rotation, but I still have a tendency to...

    Cracked boot shell

    Found this today, about 50 days on the boots Im planning to buy new boots in the next couple weeks, but I have plans to ski a few times until then. Would this crack be problematic to keep skiing or should it hold up a bit longer?

    Light-Duty White Jacket Recommendations

    Looking for a white light duty jacket, one that's ideal for clear days lapping the park. Looked at Trew's popover and it's pretty much what I'm looking for as far as style, but I'm curious if anyone can speak to how well you can move in it. I already have a nice weatherproof layer so comfort...

    Woodward rollerskis vs blades

    Went to woodies for the first time and had a great time on the foam pit. I used their rollerskis and found they were nice for adding grabs to flips/spins but not being able to carve made setting tricks weird. Is that because I need to practice my sets more or would blades be better for foam pit...

    How newbie friendly is brightons bonezone?

    I moved to SLC last sep, had never hit a box or rail, and was watching the bonezone's insta story in envy from early October to mid November. Last season I started sliding boxes, could land switch or forward but only on my natural side. Super new to jibbing but I want to hike the bonezone, help...

    Slowly subjecting my sales org to Zootspace

    I work in sales and we have a software that acts like a leaderboard for the team's production. Every time we set a meeting, we have a chat where a gif of our choice pops up. I have slowly been making gifs of each clip in Zootspace and every time I set a meeting my sales org gets to see one more...

    I wanna bukit

    I have a couple of the street bucket hats, but I'm in need of a booney style bucket to rock with my long hair. Bonus points for cool logos not just the brand name on it - any recommendations?

    Why am I always backseated landing 3s?

    I get all the way around, but I land seated with my pivot inside of me. Is that a sign I'm doing something wrong on takeoff?

    Nose butters make my heels slip

    I'm in full tilts, with the 120 tongue. When I really crank down on the middle buckle I can get on my noses without the heel slip but it is tighter than I would normally like to ski. I'm around 215 lbs so I wonder if the progressive flex isn't enough to put pressure back into my shin to keep my...

I'm going to thrift stores today to try my luck, but if I was to get something new what would yall recommend? **This...

    Boot advice

    This season I found my new boots at a ski swap. As a result, the guy helping was experienced in skiing but not a boot fitter. He helped me get a better fit than my previous boots that were gifted to me but I ended up with a narrow, on piste, 120 boot. Got custom footbeds and a shell mold to...
