So I was planning on Woodward Copper's summer Big Island hike park being open again, but I just heard that they aren't doing it this year. They just released their 2018/2019 passes and it's not mentioned anywhere, so pretty sure it's not happening. Really bummed out and don't know what to do...

Does anyone here play the game STEEP by Ubisoft? I find it to be pretty fun despite it's many flaws and glitches. It's fun to be able to go ski in real life, then come home and ski in a video game too.

I've been seeing more and more of these skis here at Vail and here on NS. What exactly is all the hype around this brand for? Did they come up with something revolutionary or are they just another ski brand with expensive backcountry skis?
