    Zipper Repair tips?

    I'm wondering if anyone has some good techniques for fixing a zipper? I have a jacket that's about 5 years old but still in good shape, except the main zipper pull is broken off, and even the little turret that holds it is gone, so it's just the "shuttle" that closes the zipper and no handle at...

    Far flung ski destination and skiing in unexpected places

    It's super interesting finding out about skiing in places you wouldn't think of. I worked at a tiny resort called Smokey mountain in Labrador, Canada this season, and my home mountain is a tiny hill on Prince Edward Island where it's usually 90% man-made snow. Skiing on the tiny hills Serena...

    Armada 2XL pants fit

    Does anyone have Armada pants 2XL? How do they fit? I'm looking at the Sumpter bibs and 2XL is the only size left. I/m 6', 200 lbs. I like a baggy fit but don't want to be swimming in them. Normally I'd wear an XL pant.

    2021 RealSki Thoughts

    We know Tanner was injured filming- (It seems to me the injury rate for real ski is way higher than any other X games ski event.) It's going to be interesting this year if someone was in a place with no snow and couldn't travel because of restrictions. There will be a lot of contrast between...

    Snow Tire Question: Downsizing

    Has anyone downsized their snow tires from their summers/all seasons? I have a mint set of 185 65 14 winter tires on rims. Currently the car has 185 65 15s installed. Rims have the same bolt pattern. Will it cause problems if I use the 1" smaller tires? **Obviously NS isn't a great place to...

    Newfoundland Backcountry Ski Guide

    My buddy Andrew Stokes is putting together this guide for backcountry in NFLD. Definitely an important resource if you're planning to travel up there for some touring! It's just some google drive docs at the moment but I think he's hoping to compile it all into a book eventually.

    Freight hopping and rail travel.

    Has anyone on here traveled by jumping freight trains? Obviously it's extremely risky, but I imagine it would be freeing, a unique way to see the landscape and obviously it's a somewhat fast and free way to get where you're going. I've always been fascinated with the idea. It's strikes me as an...

    Perseid Meteor Shower

    Has anyone else been stargazing the last few nights? It was overcast last night where I am but on Wednesday night it was clear and I saw some really impressive fireballs and dozens of smaller shooting stars. I ended up sleeping outside, it was a beautiful night for it. I recommend heading out...

    Used Car Blues

    Any suggestions for shopping for older vehicles? I know everyone loves Toyota, particularly the Hilux/T100/4Runner, but are there any other reliable older vehicles that have less of a reputation that drives up the cost? I've only driven Toyota Echos, which are fantastic, reliable cheap and punch...
