I want to take a ski trip to Oregon this winter in mid February. Leaning towards bachelor at the moment partly because the views from the summit lift and the nearby town of Bend. What is the likelihood of being able to ski from the summit at bachelor in mid Feb? Would the chances be better if I...

Taking a trip to seattle in a few weeks and have a place to stay near baker. I've noticed everyone seems to ski/ride with a pack there. I know it's for their avalanche gear because everyone is going into the backcountry, but I have no bc experience being from the midwest. Am I going to stick...

Looking to take a trip somewhere new. Been to Utah a couple times and did the cottonwood canyon thing. Oregon seems to be calling my name this year. Can't decide between hood or bachelor. Help me out! Also, what are the conditions like mid february? Thanks in advance!

Anyone know if there is enough tail on the atomic backland 102 to comfortably ride switch? They are pretty cheap right now and apparently very light, which is something I'm looking for. Just used to having a full twin for switch riding. Was thinking about Candide 2.0 until I came across these.

Want the 2.0 for waist width because I ride Midwest with the occasional out west trip. Love skis around 100 waist. I want the 3.0 because they aren't symmetrical and I could mount them back a little but I'm afraid the 3.0 are too wide for where I ski. Have always mounted a little back from...

Where should I go?

Got a free place to stay in Seattle mid march and would like to hit up snoqualmie/alpental and mt baker, maybe even crystal while we're there. Never skied this part of the country but I know it is notoriously wet. The extended forecast for mid March is saying 50 degrees and rain. Does this...

Ive read reviews that say the colored bases on these skis bleed when waxed. This year's models come with black bases which I'm guessing was to solve this issue. I just got some 2016s on the cheap but read this after the fact and now im worried. Has anyone has any experience with this happening...

Taught my fiancé how to ski on Armada ARWs. She has come a long way over the past two seasons and now complains about how the ARWs don't handle very well in the crud and slush or when conditions are less than ideal. We are looking at getting her some fatter all mtn skis that she can rip harder...

So I just got my new skis mounted. I get them home and I'm checking them out and notice that one of the back screws on one of the heel pieces is not screwed down all the way. You can actually see space between the binding and the ski and see the screw. It's not huge, but definitely noticeable...

Always center mounted my skis in the past, even if they were not symmetrical. I'm used to how it feels and have always enjoyed for going switch in the park and outside the park. Just got a pair of the arvti and I got them for shredding outside the park. They have slight nose rocker but...

Looking into these. I ski at a small hill in the Midwest. I've always skied park skis that were 85-90mm waist and full camber. Not sure how a 100 waist and the slight nose rocker will feel. I'm 6ft 4in 220 so I feel like I could really enjoy a bigger ski. I have read these are essentially a...

I know it has probably been asked already, but is there anyone out there who knows where I can find a video of this event. Just the final runs?

when i go to www.chase.com to check my bank account... i see an mtv icon next to the address and in the tab of my browser... could someone else go to the site and see if this happens to them also? im a little scared to log in and check my account... this is really fucking strange.

... and skating.
