    Helmets

    k2 is pretty good. removeable earflaps and extra bits of padding and stuff so you can make it comfy for your head, and a bit more sticking out the back which i have found good when i have big crashes - but i've tried giro and like them, will probably be my next helmet... Snow, snow, snow, I'm...

    Marriage?

    Sorry, have to disagree with you there. I'm 24, been married for a year and a half and together for 4 and a half years - it rocks. You always have someone to ski with (handy when you wanna go backcountry) and when your both skiers, there aren't any arguments about spending too much on ski...

    Why do you ski?

    because its just fun fun fun. whether its ripping around on groomed trails, really stomping a landing, or going backcountry and skiing waist deep powder - it's all fun!!! Like others have said, you also meet some awsome people and see some fantastic scenery while you're at it. Snow, snow...

    What can you tell me abut pow airs??

    Just got some rossi powairs and wanted to know more about them. What can you tell me... I rode them in waist deep powder the other day and they were pretty good, but I'm still getting used to them on the trails. Snow, snow, snow, I'm a girl who loves snow. You can ski on it and eat it too!!!!

    Ratio of Girls to Guy Newschoolers

    really? in japan? maybe its just my local hill, but i would have to say the majority of the people on the mountain are snowboarders. we skiers are greatly outnumbered - and most of the skiers are either racers or bump skiers. I've been there every weekend since it opened about 4 weeks ago...

    Snowboarding vs. Skiing

    Ok, so there are a lot of mixed feelings about the whole snowbaord vs skiing thing. Everyone just needs to get over the whole rivalry thing and just accept that we all are out there to enjoy ourselves - I know that sounds like a bunch of warm fuzzies, but if you're good at what you do (whether...

    For the bomb ass skier chicks on ns

    I wouldn't say we all suck, that's a bit of a generalisation isn't it?!! It's negative attitudes like that which the sport doesn't need.

    fucking freeze

    Can't say i ever had a problem with freeze not delivering on time and my first year subscription was from New Zealand. Now I've got a 2 year subscription while I'm in Japan and it's been pretty good - except getting my address slightly wrong so the post office people had to figure out what...

    salomon 540s

    I`m in Japan and the ones I saw in the shop were bright orange with 540 written on them. I`m pretty sure they come with bindings. I have seen some older ones at the skifield - they were similar but black.

    Twins for girls

    if i want them to be more versatile (ie, all mountain) would it be better to go slightly longer like 165 or 161cm? my current skis are 150 and they're pretty good, but would longer be better for stability in powder?

    salomon 540s

    ok, so salomon have the 1080s and the 720s. where does the 540 fit in? is it supposed to be a kiddie twin or just for those of us that are much smaller and lighter? they're pretty short - the ones i saw anyway. just curious...

    Twins for girls

    I`m looking at getting some twins but I don`t really know what i should get. I`m about 155cm and weigh about 53kg. Stuff i have looked at: Line Mavericks, Salomon 1080s (161cm), and some Candides from a few seasons back. I`m going to be living in Japan for the next 3 years and my local hill...
