Anyone try the DryGuy neoprene boot covers and do they actually make a difference? Going into the lodge to warm up the toes = less time for hot laps. Ya girl cannot afford heated socks but these boot covers are like $40... fingers crossed

Rode away with the biggest grin on my face after finally nailing a front 270 off a flat tube today. And rode away clean. Not just once. But multiple times. Beyond stoked to finally have this trick down after being scared of rails for the longest time !! And hitting features unnat really makes...

Pics below >> Before you tell me to take it to a shop…. I already took it to 2 shops. Plus I’m stubborn One of them would need to send it to a speciality shop down the road.. and the other would charge around $140 alone in labor for 2 hours. I’ve tried fixing it about 4 times now with no...

Seriously what's stopping Atomic from using normal fuckin torx screws to hold boot straps on. Why do they have to rivet these fuckin things on and make it incredibly aggravating to take them out. I just want to swap out my booster straps onto my new boots. Shouldn't be this hard ffs I'm losing...

Shell + mid + base layers VS. throw your normal ski jacket in your bag for the ride down? Gloves on the way up? Waterproof? Water resistant? Do you just wear liners? Wet + numb hands during a companion rescue are not ideal... most gloves I've looked at so far that are waterproof have little to...

So last season I finally managed to save up enough to get my first AT setup. Needless to say, I'm hooked. I dropped a fat chunk on a -18C sleeping bag, 38L pack, lighter skis, etc. to spend as much time in the bc as possible. I'm looking to do loads of hut trips, build jumps, and work towards...

I've got a pair of Armada JJ 116 Ultralights w/ kingpins for next season. These will be great for pow days in the bc. I'm also looking to setup a second pair of narrower/slightly stiffer skis, that will handle better on crusty, steep skin tracks at lower elevations, where you really need to...

Would you rather a career that pays well and offers job security, or one that you’re passionate about? As we all know, most jobs in the ski industry pay horribly. And living in a ski town isn’t cheap. But working the 9-5 and living to ski on weekends is so depressing. Especially when skiing is...

Might be a long shot but anyone cliff jump the Lynn canyon circuit before ? Or specifically the pools at twin falls ? Is it pretty easy to swim out of the rushing water/currents? Obvs not a bright idea to go now but in a month or two when the water is more calm. Just looking for tips /...

So my friend was at a guy's house the other day She was in the shower and saw a bottle filled with orange soap. She thought it was orange chronic (the stuff to clean bongs) but then he informs her that’s his 18 in 1 shampoo / toothpaste / laundry detergent / dish soap / shaving cream /...

As we all know the market is absolutely fucked. Not sure where all these beginners came from and why they all think they need a 150mm suspension for learning to bike on gravel trails/ nearly flat green runs. I bet half of these people are going to get hurt within their first season, then decide...

There's probably threads on this topic already but I can't find them How many of you have had lasting complications due to concussions? Did you not rest properly after the initial injury? Or did complications arise as you had more concussions ? Did you find ways to overcome the lasting...

Soooo I just learned how to jib this year & I'm stuck doing the same trick. Getting pretty bored of it at this point. I tried learning unnat, I don't think I'm quite ready for that yet. I'll keep working on it tho for sure. Basically I'm just popping on and coming off switch. I can't for the...

it would be a rainbow rail so if I can hit a jump, I can totally hit a rainbow rail, right ?

Before you say it, yes - I searched through older threads before posting. 90% of the comments were about how there are already pre-existing threads. If you can find useful ones, please feel free to link so I don't have to sift through hundreds of threads. I'm building a PVC rail using 4" x...
