    JJ 2.0 Mounting Point - Move Forward?

    I know recommended is -5 from true center. Just though I would see if anybody has mounted them any farther forward... Mounting with Atomic Trackers and looking for this to be my BC jib setup so thinking of going more like -3cm from center. At the same time, don't want to completely sacrifice...

    Armada Go Pullover - Realtree Camo (XL)

    So I bought an Armada Go Pullover in the Realtree Camo pattern. The thing is absolutely sick, but a little too big on me. I got a great deal on it, but can't return it to the retailer. Just trying to get back what I paid and pass the discount along to you. Still has tags and even the little...

    STH2 Wing Adjustment

    So I've been riding on my STH2 13 bindings for a couple of weeks now and I'm finding myself having to adjust the toe wings on a pretty regular basis. I'll get a little bit of play in the toe after only about 1.5 days on them. I can feel some movement when I'm clamped in if I pick up my fott...

    Benefit to going with new STH2? Or get last year's FFG14 driver?

    Need some clamps for a new pair of Soul Riders. Really don't plan on running DIN above 12, so thinking about the STH2 WTR 13. Cheapest I can find them is $229. Other option is to get last year's Atomic FFG14 with the driver toe for $199. Do I opt for the new technology and a binding that is...

    Nordica Soul Rider w/ Jesters - brake question...

    I've got a pair of Jesters with a 110 brake. Wondering if these would work on the Soul Rider (97 waist). Worried a little bit about the brake catching on switch landings and it dragging when railing groomers? Do you think it will work or is 110 too wide?

    Jeronimo, Soul Rider, Nomad RKR, or save a bunch with the Blog

    I've got the park (AR7), touring (TST), and powder (Magic J) covered and need to finish off the quiver with a playful ski that will work great when we report a couple of inches in the morning, but also when it's all skied off by Noon and I want to play around the mountain and maybe spin some...

    How do I shoot timelapses with my Canon 60D?

    I've heard talk of downloading Magic Lantern, but can I just buy some sort of remote with a timer instead? Which would be the better option?

    Thoughts on soft-shell helmets like Giro Combyn?

    I need a new lid and was checking out the Giro Combyn. I like the look of it, but wonder if these soft-shell designs are really as safe as the hard-shell models that most companies produce. Is it weird that the Giro only conforms to Euro safety standards while most other helmets conform to...

    Pret Helmets?

    Anybody rocking a Pret helmet? They look like decent lids and I'm always down to support a lesser-known, up and coming company. I'm thinking the Effect or Cynic could be a good look. Typically go beanie and goggles under. http://www.pret-helmet.com/index.php?p_resource=items Any...

    What bindings for my Armada Magic Js?

    Thinking of going with some FKS185. Figure it would be the most bomber and last me the longest. Only thing really steering me away from it is the weight since the Magic Js aren't exactly light to begin with. Should I go STH/FFG 16 or Jester instead? Peak 15/18? Gotta have them look good too!

    Where to mount 192 Armada TSTs?

    Any thoughts on where I should mount these? They're my touring ski and will be getting Dukes. Recommended seems to be pretty far back and leaves a lot of tip. Thinking I could go a little forward of the line, but just wanted to see if anybody had any advice.

    Older Armada AR6s w/ STH 12s - $100

    Looking to sell an older pair of AR6s with Salomon STH 12s for $90 + shipping and paypal fees. Skis have been skied pretty hard and show it. Some topsheet chipping and not a ton of camber left. Nice and buttery though and would be a fun early/late season setup. Bindings are in pretty good...

    What size TST should I get?

    Me: 6'1" 180 lbs Going to use the TST as my touring ski mounted with Dukes for the Colorado backcountry. Typically a mix between above treeline bowls and medium to tightly spaced trees. Thinking of getting the 192 for the added float and stability at speed, but also wondering if I should go...
