    Mid jump awareness and comfortability

    i’m not much of a park skier, but i have been wanting to learn bigger tricks on bigger jumps. my issue though is that whenever i go on the big jumps, i get scared shitless when i’m in the air and all my focus is on landing properly so as to not crash. what i have noticed though is that the...

    Freestyle ski recommendations

    ive been thinking about getting a pair of skis more geared towards freestyle. both my blades and mindbenders are pretty heavy and as much as i like ripping groomers on them, i kinda wanna expand on the types of skis i have since both pairs i have right now are pretty directional. i wanted to ask...

    Calf pain

    whenever i do an ollie or anything where i’m leaning back on my tails, there’s this pain in the right back of my right calf that runs in an imaginary line up about 3/4 of my calf. same spot on my left, so left back of my left calf, but it’s not as bad, probably because i’m right hand and right...

    Race/slalom skis playfulness?

    i have a pair of line blades and mindbender 99ti’s and i just enjoy ripping down the mountain, riding switch, throwing 3s on side hits and butters and little things along the way. i’m wondering if anyone has experience with slalom skis and how they feel. i know they’re made to carve but i’m...

    Line skis durability

    so I've skied around 4 days total on my Line blades, and I'm noticing that they're getting beat up a lot more than my mindbenders, which have maybe close to 20 days on them from last season. there's literal chunks missing from the topsheet on the blades, just little areas a few millimeters long...

    Stretches and routines after a day of skiing?

    usually i don’t ever push myself this hard, but there are days where i just rip for a solid 6 or 7 hours and my legs are completely worn out by the end of the day, to the point where my quads get super tight like they’re cramping and i end up struggling to walk up and down stairs the next day...

    Tentative to hit bigger jumps

    snoqualmie’s the closest resort to me at about an hour away and they have a sick park with some decent sized jumps, but i’m honestly a bit scared to try anything on them. i saw some dude hit a 3 and a cork 7 while i was on the lift so they’re plenty big. i can only do 3s and have only ever...

    Two exchanged tickets under one ikon pass?

    so to keep it short, the situation is that there are two ikon passes that need to make separate reservations to ski. one pass made a reservation for saturday the 22nd and the second one was supposed to make one for the same day, but was unable to because the spots were all booked up. the...

    Chipped topsheet repair?

    so I caught an edge when I was trying to spin off a jump and the edge of my right ski like sliced a part of my left ski towards the back. not a huge deal, really more of a cosmetic thing than anything, but there's a little chunk just hanging there and I can see the wood underneath and it's...

    Skiing in low light

    A legitimate question though it might be stupid, can I put a light or like a headlamp on my helmet to ski in low light conditions at a resort? I remember seeing people in Nikolai Schirmer's videos that had like flood lights on the side of their helmet sometimes when they skiied gnarly couloirs...

    Unfamiliar Terrain?

    I'm not exactly sure what to put as the title so I'll just leave it as it is, but basically a while back I went down a double black went to an area that I hadn't been to before, it turned out to be an unmarked run and had tiny ass signs hidden behind the trees that said "unmarked trail" and...

    S/Pro vs S/Max

    I've been looking for a new boot and the S/Pro's were great after a season of rentals, I was wondering if the S/Max's are really that much different from them. I remember reading somewhere a while back that S/Pro's are just newer S/Max's and the S/Max's are narrower, though I plan on getting...

    Switch Turns?

    So I've been screwing around with skiing switch cause cruising down greens after merging from a more difficult run gets boring sometimes, but I can't seem to exactly turn like they do in videos where they can control where they want to go. I can stagger my feet and feel decently comfortable just...
