    Touring Boots and the BD Quadrant

    After putting off getting a new pair of boots for far too long, my current boots really did just fall apart. I have currently been trolling the internet for sweet deals on a mid-to light weight, mid to stiff flexing, touring boot with a tech fitting. Because I do not have any bootfitters...

    Anthony Lakes- Killer sidecountry

    Anyone ride there? Its a very small ski area in north east oregon in the Elkhorn range, very mom and pop feel. Only 900 vertical feet are lift served, but the base is at 7,100', so they get very dry snow and quite a bit of it. Really fun sidecountry ridge that I lapped on Saturday. Anyone...

    Rideshare- Walla Walla, WA to SLC, UT

    I'll be driving from Walla Walla, WA to Salt Lake City on the 13th or the 14th and have room for 3 people and lots of gear. I can also pick up or drop off in Boise or Twin Falls and of course you'd only pay gas money for the leg that you traveled on. Gas money for the whole thing is around...

    Northwest Big Mountain Comps

    Hello all, So I'm a freshman on the Whitman College Freeride team (sounds a lot more official than it is, as in we don't have a coach or probably much school sponsored money) and we're looking for some big mountain competitions this winter. I know this is the Washington thread, but the...

    Where to do it all (Ski, mtb, surf, longboard, kayak, flyfish)

    I am loosely considering doing a gap year in NZ and I realize that there is great terrain for of these activities all around the country. However, is there one particular "hotspot" where I can find all of them within a short drive? Thanks, TBL

    Just another longboard thread

    Same question, possibly different criteria. I'm 155 lbs., and love to carve and slide. I'm unclear of the vague definition of "freeride" in longboarding, but I assume I probably do a good deal of it. I'm not a speed freak (< 35 mph), but want something stable. Choices- Landyachtz seem the...

    "Osteochondritis Dissecans" knee injury. Anyone had it or can advise?

    After skiing pretty hard for a week at the end of march, my knee swelled up. When it got to the point where I had trouble walking, I took it to my pediatrician. I had an MRI done and it was clear that it was not any ligament tear, but instead a piece of bone and cartilage from my femur that...
