    Wildlife encounters

    I haven't encountered too much wildlife while skiing... I've seen the odd rabbit. Once I was following a rabbit for a good 4 or 5 seconds while at speed in the trees... Makes you wonder what that rabbit was thinking, eh? My main reason for creating this thread though - a few years...

    Ski boots (when not in use)

    So, I've grown up being told that when you are not using your ski boots you should have them buckled up so they keep their form. It makes a lot of sense to me, and I will always do it.... doesn't matter if I'm told I'm supposed to or not. I've always thought that everyone did this as...

    Ski vs face: ski wins

    So the story begins yesterday. I was skiing at Revelstoke, and at the bottom of the mountain they don't have too much snow. Seeing how I was visiting I said fuck it and decided to ski down instead of dowload. Near the bottom I hit a rock and got this nasty core shot right on the edge of...

    (_____) wouldn't exist without (______)

    I think that saying is one of the dumbest defenses ever, and I am sick and tired of people using it. Since this is a skiing website, I'll use the old skiing vs snowboarding "rivalry" as my example. "park skiing wouldn't exist without snowboarding" which goes to: "snowboarding wouldn't exist...

    Are the forums feeling a little dumber than normal right now?

    Ok so, is it me? is it the fact that this happens every olympics and I just haven't realized it yet? or are people getting dumber. or are they just becoming younger and more ignorant to the world outside of their little bubble? Will the "what is this curling thing? and why does it...

    COP Pipe conditions

    Yesterday I felt a big urge to get out of town, and by the time I went to bed my brain was on the thought of going out to Calgary to ride your snow taco. before I make the drive out there, I figured I'd ask you guys if it will be worth it. Is the pipe in good form right now? how are...

    I had a dream

    so, last night I had a dream where I met Eric Pollard. he was mean to me, and it made me sad. I know he's really nice, and it was just a dream, but it made me sad enough to write a thread on NS.

    Dew Tour Canada?

    first off, I really am sorry for flooding Ski Gabber with yet another dew tour thread, honestly... but I do believe I will be sitting on my ass playing video games this evening at 11pm, and I'm sure a lot of other Canadians will be as well. SO. Anyone know where us Canucks can stream the...

    People who refuse to hike

    So, I'm not really calling anyone out on NS, and I don't think I am referring to the majority. Actually I have no idea as to how many people fit into this category, but here we go: People who just straight up refuse to accept walking uphill as a form of transportation to get your turns in...

    I've turned into a powder snob, I think...

    I hope it's only temporary, because it feels dirty. Our last snowfall was a week ago today, since then it's been sunny and the avalanche conditions have been optimal for touring... so I (along with everyone else it seams) has been getting out there and touring our ass's off while the...
