    ARV in trees?

    Hey yall, so I'm looking for a good east-coast pow/off-piste/tree/etc ski, and the ARV looks perfect. I'm looking at the 175 and 185 lengths. I'm a really strong skier, so I'm not worried about being able to ski the 185s, but I am concerned that they won't be quick enough for...

    Wtb: armada arv

    hey yall so its time to graduate to the ARV. One or two years old is ideal, I care more about base wear than top sheet cracks/scratches...performance is what im looking for. Binders are nice, ~ 15 on max DIN. FKS 155s are ideal, but other bindings/flat skis are fine as well. I'm 5'11", and...

    Alpha 1 vs alpha 2

    Okay so I search bar'd this with no results, so sorry if this is a repeat. i'm very seriously considering alpha 1s and 2s. from what i understand, the alpha 1 is lighter, more spinny, and with rocker. apparently it slays jumps and is sweet on rails, and is basically awesome. but what about...

    Uploading/insert picture issue?

    so i was wondering if anyone else is having this problem: when I try to click on the little icon to insert (and upload) pictures on to posts, nothing happens. I'm using firefox. I noticed that none of those little buttons work in ff, but they do in internet explorer. Is this just me?

    New to skiing - help me out

    now i'm gonna come out in advance; for the record, I'm a racer. That said, you should still listen to what I have to say. Your shoe size is not your boot size. I'm a 11 1/2, but I wear a 9 ski boot. Thats a little extreme for you, but the idea is you can always have a boot tech shave out the...

    Ski Company name

    have you guys made a decision? Tomorrow is december 1. its great how many small scale ski companies are popping up. it happened to skateboarding early on, and it did the sport a world of good (that is until it got re-commercialized); hopefully the same will happen for skiing.

    Hunter 42 north comp

    the hunter park operation is pretty suckish, so their annual comp really isnt that amazing. someone from the armada team showed up 2 years ago i think (tanner..not). there was good live music though and the parties in town were way better than usual. apparently the mountain is promising a...

    Plane Tickets....

    sidestep.com searches expedia/kayak/all the airline sites. skiing magazine (i know, i know) ran a piece comparing all the airlines for their bag charges; its worth looking it up on their website cause i remember with some carriers a skier would have to pay like a hundred bucks for all their...

    Snow gun plans

    The tee gun (http://snowguns.com/eve/forums?a=tpc&s=4826057994&f=5286043025&m=1446060925) on snowguns forum is really easy to make, and the sm4 (http://snowguns.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/6636012705/m/2601037642) is a nice combo gun

    Pressure washer

    Its been tried. Unless you have a really really high nozzle position and really cold temperatures, you'll never get crystallization. You can actually make a working gun without a pump (pressure washer is a pump), but you can't do it without a compressor

    Leaf blower?

    You would need to force the air coming out of the leaf blower into a really narrow tube (to get PSI up), and attach that tube to a tank (to ensure constant air discharge), and then run an air hose (with PSI gauge) to your gun. you probably could only get the PSI up to the 60+ you need to run a...

    Ski Company name

    I figured a name is no good without a marketing angle: Trinity (put pictures of skiers w/ halos and other religious-inspired stuff. start your line with three skis) Poach (ducking tape/hitting lines) Cartel Skis (put Pablo Escobar/cartel boss-types and jungle/cocaine images. Name skis after...

    COLLEGES for skiing

    Dartmouth College. They own their own ski hill, they're within minutes of killington/okemo, and you're right in the middle of nh/vt so its not hard to hit anything (read:Jay Peak). Plus they let you take winter term off Sophomore and Junior years, and will fund you during those terms to live...
