    Photo contest sway

    Hello good people of NS, I come to you with an old fashioned contest sway request. I am in a photo competition that is decided by likes on Facebook, my friend and I worked hard on this, getting up at ridiculous times of the day in order to get the best light, and I am stoked on the shot that we...

    Autumn Euro parks

    Hello NS, Does anyone have any ideas about where's the best glacier park in Europe for late October/early November shredding? I saw some sick shots out of Stubai Zoo last year, is there anywhere else that competes? Cheers.

    One run from Japan

    The peak of Niseko Annupuri opened for the first time the other day so we headed up early, we were super lucky it was open as the wind was insane on the ridge and the single chair up got shut soon after we got off it. I actually got blown over on the hike up, and had some good frostnip on my...

    Facebook rape revenge

    So I left my friends watching a movie on my laptop last night whilst I went to sleep. being bastards they thoroughly Facebook raped me (change of birthday, liking men, embarrassing status, change of cover and profile pictures). I now need appropriate revenge, thinking of soaking their ski boot...

    Productive injured activities

    So my season in Japan has been cut short by 3 broken metacarpals in my right hand. Back in the UK and am wondering what I'm going to with myself. Whilst I'm sure NS and left handed masturbation will take up a decent amount of time, I will probably get bored eventually. I'm already going to...

    Protein supplements

    I searched and found a lot of people talking about taking protein supplements for lifting, and other sports. But are any of you taking it specifically for skiing? I am using a whey shake at the moment, because I am going to the gym a fair bit, but in a few weeks, I will switch to just skiing...

    POC Cornea 'Flow'

    Looking at getting new goggles, for some reason POC are really hard to find over here, except for the bike range, which is called 'flow'. I can't see any difference between the flow range and the ski range, does anyone know if there is?

    New powder ski opinions

    Hey, So I'm thinking about a new powder ski for this season, at the moment I have Volkl Chopsticks and Gotamas, I find the Chopsticks to be great in powder, but a pain to ski everywhere else, and actually a little short at 185, and the Gotamas are wrecked after a low snow season in Chile. I'm...

    Video upload issues

    Hey, so I am just trying to upload an edit, and in the upload window, it tells me that it is loaded, but I can't find it in my media, I don't want to close the window in case it is still somehow uploading. Ideas?

    Skydiving

    Any on here into skydiving? I'd like to get into BASE but I assume being an experienced skydiver would be the first step, just looking at courses online now. Found one in Thailand for about 3700 dollars, that'll give me a full USPA 'A' license in 2 weeks. Seems a lot of cash, but then I guess...

    Weak ankles?

    Does anyone else find they injure their ankles really easily? I have twisted mine in some way multiple times a season for the last few seasons. A few times skiing into submerged rocks/stumps, once on the deck of a pipe, slamming the tip of my ski into GS gates, and today over rotating, losing a...

    Folgefonna

    Does anyone know much about the summer park in Folgefonna? Just been watching 'Being There' and it looks sick. I saw Henrik Windstedt has a camp there, but really I'm not too fussed about coaching/camp activities (i'm 27), does anyone know whether it's a public park? can I just get a hostel room...

    Building booters

    So, I work at a mountain which doesn't have a terrain park, as it's spring, this is quite frustrating, so today we built a kicker. It wasn't huge as it was just two of us and it does ok, but I feel it could be better I know some basics about building kickers, ie, use blocks as much as possible...

    Dull edges FTW (warning, bloody photos)

    So, I was skiing yesterday on some GS skis, they were lethally sharp, I prereleased and one ski came underneath me, sliced through my pants, thermals, and most of the way through my hip. So yeah, don't fuck about with race skis!
