currently at UC Santa Barbara on exchange- just wondering which resort u reckon is most bang for your buck when going with mates who aren't that serious (it'll also be our first time at either resort). we're going during valentines weekend- not sure if that changes anything apart from lift...

I'm basically tossing up between going to Laax or Whis for the 2018-2019 season as I've got mates who are going to both places. If you were in my shoes (as an broke 18 year old college kid- I turn 19 before Whis tho), where would you go? Excluding flights which would be more affordable (more...

Hey guys, I'm in a pickle with skis, because I'm in Japan for three more weeks before I return back to Australia. Currently my only pair of skis are centre mounted line chronics. I tried both skis as demos and the jj's are far better as a pow ski but the marksman is more versatile and I can...

Leaving for Jap in 4 days and I need some edits to binge on to get even more stoked. Would be dope if y'all could embed your fav edits whether that be because of the skiing, filming or the editing. inb4 gucciman7

so I'm going to Japan in January until late Feb which is basically when there is heaps of pow pow. Currently I only have a pair of Line Chronics which I use as my park/all-mtn ski however I need a ski that can handle the deepest pow days in Japan but also hold it's own on groomers as well as a...

yo so I'm fully revising my ski gear (including socks haha) this season as I'm moving to Japan for two months. that means I either need to get my goods at home (Sydney, Australia) or when I get to the mountains in Hakuba. However, as I'm a foreigner I literally have no idea who is a reputable...

yo what socks are people rocking these days? the only ski socks I have are the socks my Mum bought for from a supermarket 8 years ago so it's time I replaced them. Let me know below which ones are most affordable. Also recommendations for thermals would be appreciated.

Saw it a few days ago, I thought it would be mediocre but I was pleasantly surprised to realise it was actually a good movie. There's no origin story in it which is nice since everyone knows how spidey got his powers, so there's actually a plot. And the plot twist was actually unexpected. I...

So I guess most of us would love to shred the mountain with our favourite pros, due to their insane abilities, but let's say hypothetically you could chill with them and do anything you wanted but it couldn't be skiing. For me, I would love to play b-dog in a game of chess as I just rewatched...

Hey so I graduate from high school mid november, which is basically right before resorts start to open. I'll be 18 by then and with a few mates, we were thinking of heading to Whis to spend at least 2-3 months there. NS what do you reckon is the best job on mountain/or near the mountain? I...

Heading up to the slopes for a week before I have to return back home. So my question is how can I progress quickly within that time? My all-mtn skiing is pretty strong and I'm looking to improve my park technique.Heading to Jap, so I'll probs only hit the park in the arvo/night. I can 3, and...

Planning on getting some new trucks to replace my current crummy old ones from a complete I got ages ago. I've got three options: Independent Standard Skateboard Truck SILVER M-CLASS POLISHED Theeve CSX Raw They're in price order and they differ by $10 AUD ($7 US), with the indies being the...

Last year my chronics delaminated heaps. Luckily, I got it warranted and got a new pair. I was thinking of detuning underfoot, but will this actually prevent edge delamination? Or is it just bad construction which contributed to it delaminating. Below is a picture of the ski after 3 days of...

So I'm leaving in a few days for my first tracks this year. Unfortunately, my season is only 10 days straight like every year. So NS, how can I speed up learning new tricks? I can slide basic rails like tubes pretty confidently, and do shitty pencil 3s. Started trying blind 2s off last year...

Want some good movies to watch? Off the top of my head Kill Bill would be one of my favourites, really any of Tarentino's movies are great to watch. The cinematography of The Hateful 8 was really nice. Avatar, Battleship, Ip Man, Star Wars, Iron Man, Red are good to watch. Avengers is okay...
