    Can I get away with Marker Griffon Schizos?

    I've been rocking a pair of 07/08 K2 Seth's in 189cm for a few years now (since the 07/08 unsurprisingly!). I've loved these skis but they're a bit knackered so I'm now looking to pick up a new pair of skis and I'm pretty set on the 10/11 obSETHed, again in 189cm. I've found a pair at a really...

    Rossignol S4 Jib vs Armada Alpha 1

    Thanks to everyone who helped me narrow down my choice to these two skis in the original thread (https://www.newschoolers.com/ns/forums/readthread/thread_id/615002/). I'm looking to buy a ski almost purely for park and, with a lot of help from NSers, I think I've narrowed it down to either the...

If you don't have a wide angle lens yet and you want to use your new lens for things other than skiing, I...

    Whats wrong with these pictures?!?!

    Yeah that's hot pixels. The bigger, dark blob kind half way up near the left hand side is just dust on the sensor. What camera are you using and how long was the exposure? If it was a pretty long exposure, don't worry about the hot pixels, they happen. If it's a DSLR or you've got an option for...

    Best D-slr for skiing

    Ok, this might raise a few eyebrows but have you considered picking up a second-hand Nikon D70? Before I get jumped on by the folks thinking I'm just a fanboy D70 owner, I'm not. I actually shoot with a Canon 40D and I really like. I've gotta admit though, that I'm starting to throw a few...
