    Mont-Sainte-Anne & Le Massif

    Hey guys, Doing my yearly trip to Sainte Anne & Le Massif next week. Just wondering if anyone could chime in on how things have been this year thus far? We got spoiled rotten last year with record snowfalls and skiing nothing but pow and bluebird days. Far better conditions than my west...

    Salomon Brigade Audio helmet

    Anyone know how the audio quality is on this helmet? I really want the Smith Variant Brim w/ skullcandy but its SUPER hard to find in stock and is back ordered for weeks so I'm considering this as an alternative.

    Core shot

    I did this yesterday at blue skiing off a 3-4 ft drop on to some piece of wood or some shit. Ski ejected and I KNEW I did damage to it. Flipped it over and saw this (plus extra base that was sticking out, but I cut it off at the lodge) http://www.shubnation.com/dump/coreshot/ Skis are in the...

    Blue was sick today

    Just got home from a two day trip at blue with some buds. Yesterday was warm, bluebird, soft snow. Today had some sick fresh pow over the boots, into the lap. Dumped all day. I'm exhausted.

    Best shop in Toronto to get skis mounted

    Hey guys, I picked up a new/unused/unmounted pair of K2 Fujatives 179cm from 2007. I used to have these back when they were new, but in 159cm. I've since sold those to a friend. Now that I have the proper size ski, I'm looking for a good place to mount my Mojo15 binders to them. This is...

    True opinions on Big White

    Skiing at Revelstoke, and then Silverstar (first time in BC), I have to say Silverstar just did not even have a chance to compete with the terrain, snow quality, people, and view's compared to Revelstoke. Revelstoke is going to be a destination I hit every year. Flying in to Kelowna this...

    Your 08/ 09 outerwear

    Wow that reply came back in typical flaming prepubescent fashion. Anyways, Sure the helly getup costs $850 retail but its also twice the waterproofing and breathability of the gsuit. ALSO, if you read my post, I paid $280 USD for it. Thats like half the price of the g-suit. It's XL and it...

    Your 08/ 09 outerwear

    To each his own. I personally am not a fan of looking like a punk kid on the mountain. I guess that's because I'm in my 20's. Nor am I a fan of paying crazy amounts of money for the G-suit (that everyone and their mothers have) thats only like 10k/10k. Some of us here like to choose gear...
