    Ahhhrrgghh too many things

    We all know skiing is not cheap but there are so many little things that cost like 100$ each that you really want. glove liners, back protector, impact shorts, boot bag, waxing setup, sno seal. This list adds up to prolly more than 1000$, I know I don’t need any of this stuff but it’s borderline...

My dad has a ton of mountaineering experience (Cho oyu ski decent if you’re familiar), and I have done some stuff with ice picks and crampons.

    How to fall?

    I see a lot of people giving out advice about “learning to fall”, but I can’t find anything on NS or similar about how to actually safely fall or how to learn it. Y’all got any resources for it?

    Stalking the shit out of Verbier

    Imma be in Verbier in late December early January and I have been spying on the cams 24/7. They have this cool system where it’s a 360 camera and you can click on other cameras in the view of the camera you’re on. It’s amazing and I may be addicted. I was scoping for some cool terrain and need...

    East portal, Moffat tunnel

    I was blabbing with some ski coach I met on the lift about how you could possibly tour from Eldora to Winter park. He told me about this train tunnel (Moffat tunnel) that went under the continental divide, and that apparently only the ski train goes through it on scheduled intervals. Apparently...

    Why is Eldora so dangerous

    Eldora is the most dangerous resort in Colorado in terms of injuries, but the terrain is so much less intense than pretty much all the rest of the resorts. Just yesterday I was skiing there with one of my bros when he fell and broke his left ankle and his right leg, like how does this shit...

    1984 fucking sucks

    Read 1984 for my English class. We had to read the whole thing in like 2 weeks and 99% of the book was just Winston’s inner monologue saying boring shit. There was a well written page with a intriguing thought here and there but I swear I will never get that time back.

    Crooked 360s

    I have been setting 360s on mattresses and grass just for fun but I always land kinda crooked on my side. Am I just setting them wrong or is it somethin else?

    Colleges with skiing and engineering

    Are there any colleges with a good mechanical engineering program with proximity to a ski resort? I know Western Colorado has a pretty good mechanical engineering program and is right next to crested butte, and I know Innsbruck is in a similar situation, but are there any others?

    What do you guys bring to the hill

    I bring a backpack with some lunch (cause I ain’t paying 15$ for some soggy ass fries) plus Gatorade, a change of shoes, and some SPF lip balm. I hide the backpack behind a shed or something so it doesn’t get stole.

    Do I need to wax my jib?

    This summer I made a 8’ long handrail. I’m planning on bringing it to a hill near my house when there’s snow. I might have to fight off some kids with sleds but it’ll be alright. Do I need to wax the rail though? I’ll be using beater skis that haven’t ever been waxed since I got them and they...

    Freeride teams in college?

    Hey everyone. I’m a freeride skier in the Denver metro and in high school. Right now I’m on a team pretty casually but want to start taking it to the next level. I think the best move out of high school is to be good enough to get on to a college team, maybe in SLC, Bozeman or CU Boulder, but...

    Skis with skateboard trucks?

    Ok hear me out. Skateboard trucks turn when you lean to the side. What if I get some shitty skis somewhere and mount skateboard trucks on each end of the ski? If anyone has any insight on how this might work that would be nice. I don’t want to buy a pair of skis and four skateboard trucks for...
