    Going directly to backcountry skiing after ACL reconstruction

    Hello, the ACL topic has been beaten to death but I haven't found a satisfactory answer to this specific question so I am returning to the dreaded newschoolers board to see if anyone has useful advice. I did my ACL last spring and my 9 months will be up on March 2nd. I normally ski about 50%...

    Pivot base plate crack

    Noticed this at the start of the season and have skied it a fair bit, almost certainly was like this at the end of last season too. 2nd time I've had this happen, first time didn't notice it until a shop refused to remount. Because of this I didn't stress it, also homie told me it was common and...

    Vancouver people

    I just moved to Vancouver to attend UBC (2nd year but 1st year actually here due to covid) and I know no one. Looking for fellow NSers in the area to mtb/hike/do other cool stuff with in the fall and then obviously ski a shit ton at whistler and seymour as soon as the snow falls. Drop a comment...

    Mt Seymour Value Pass

    I am actually gonna be on campus (hopefully) for my second year at UBC next winter and am looking to be ready to finally ski up there. I am definitely gonna buy a whistler student pass when they go on sale and that's gonna be my go-to whenever I have a full day off of class but I also wanna...

    Beefiest Touring Boots

    I'm not stupid, I go to a bootfitter and I know the best boots are the ones that fit. My homie is thinking about buying touring boots for his new boots so he can upgrade his P15s to the cast system if he wants. He's been skiing 140 flex plug boots forever since he used to race and wanted to buy...

    Anyone ever buy from varuste.net

    It's a store in Finland and they've got a good price on an item I'm looking to buy. Has anyone ever bought from their online store, especially if you're in the US? They definitely look like a legit company but I'm wondering how the shipping/customer service is if anything goes wrong.

    How to not go broke getting a touring setup

    Seriously considering pulling the trigger on the CAST preoders but not sure what else to pair it with. Definitely looking for a 50/50 setup. My ideal would probably be the moment deathwish ( @cydwhit ) but would probably want to cut other costs in the setup if I got those. I would prefer to get...

    UBC Students

    Almost definately gonna be going to UBC for engineering this fall and figured I'd throw out a few skiing related questions I haven't found adequate answers for and see if any of you guys who go/have gone there can answer them. Do you need to have a car to get to north van/whistler to mtn bike...

    Remounting pivot heel in same holes

    I broke the brake on one of my pivot heels, and I have an extra heel so I figure it would be easier and cheaper to switch it out than buy new brakes. Can I just undo the screws and put the other heel in the same holes? Should I just put epoxy in, or do I need some sort of insert to make the old...

    Are the Armada vision bibs waterproof enough for pnw

    They're 10k and I believe the seams are fully taped. I ski at bachelor which is probably one of the driest pnw resorts. My last pants were shit and full of holes, and I was mostly fine, tho the outsides got wet. Do you think I'll be fine, or will the snow on my legs melt and soak through?

    Rampage 2019

    Level of riding was so insane this year. So many people got clean runs. So many mind blowing moments like semenuk flipping into the double drop and brendog flipping the canyon gap. Pretty stoked on the results, would have liked brendog to stay on the podium because of how unique his run was...

    Finding ski movies

    There's been a few threads recently about what ski movies to watch/show to people, and everybody has been posting lots of great movies from the last few decades, but they're not all easy to find. Does anyone have tips on how to find old (and newer) ski movies online? It would be useful if people...

    Epoxy tips

    I've got an edge starting to pull out at the tip on my k108s. As soon as I saw it I epoxied and clamped it with gflex 650, pulled out again after a few days of skiing. I've epoxied it every week for about a month now, and it pulls out every week without fail. It's even gotten a bit bigger. Does...
