So I'm heading to NZ for 7 days after my semester in Sydney ends (June 20th) and I'm looking to get some advice on skiing in NZ...anyone have any input on what mountains/areas are best and what some affordable accommodation is? I'll also need to rent boots/skis but I don't want the shitty ones...
I'm probably interning with the DOT this summer and they require steel toe boots. Never owned a pair before so I'm wondering if anyone has suggestions. They reimburse up to $100 so +k for suggestions in that price range.
Amidst all the turmoil in Egypt, we skiers are once again reminded of the importance of helmets.

NS...my brother is running the Carlsbad half marathon (Carlsbad is in Cali). In order to run he fronted $500 as a donation to the American Liver Foundation. He's since been raising funds to help cover the $500. I know NS is not the most likely place to get donations since we are mostly broke...
In the last 50 minutes we at SU have received 3 inches of snow...this may not impress those from the west but this is the fastest I have ever seen snow accumulate and I am fucking stoked.
My friend just bought a pair of Armada Cantikas and she's looking at the Solomon Z10 bindings for them. I guess the price differential between men/woman is about $65 so she asked me if it's a good idea to buy the men's binding and save $65...I really don't have a clue so I refer to you, NS...
When you're down and out how do you deal with it (especially when skiing isn't an option...yet)? Probably a lot of JOffers on NS but who's got something unique?
So today I was working, and a group of middle school age looking guys walked in...each with a condom in their mouth. They walked in and waved, and just walked around the store chewing their condoms and trying to blow them up like a balloon. What is up with pre-pubescent kids these days?
i was playing hockey today and i ate it real hard. I put a pretty big crick in my neck and it hurts like a bitch and i can barely turn my head...i can't even check my blind spots while i drive. I leave tomorrow for Jay Peak tomorrow so its pretty bad timing. Any advice for a fix? I took a couple...
