    Recommend me a powder ski

    I've been skiing the 108 waist Bacons in 184cm for years now, but my style has changed as I've gotten older and I moved to the West Coast. I don't hit the park now, I rarely ski switch now, and I seek out pow, trees, and ungroomed terrain a lot more. Lately I feel like I'm dragging the big...

    Alaska skiers, help me out please. And forgive my ignorance

    A friend of mine is moving to Juneau this summer, so I am going to go visit and ski next winter, probably at Eaglecrest. What is the best time to go? Do I have to go early or late in the season to maximize daylight hours? Also, it looks like it is only open on weekends is this true?

    Layering and breathability

    I have a 20/20 shell and I'm looking for a mid-layer that is going to keep me warm, but I don't want it to trap in moisture and lose the benefit of the 20k breathability. What's the best way to go? Down? Synthetic puffy? Fleece?
