    Helmet?

    I cracked the foam liner in my smith gage. Looking for a new helmet. Not looking to cheap out, will probably get something with MIPS. Looking to get a large and something that’s comfortable to wear over beanie/goggles. Recommendations?

    im tired of the bulky ass hat I wear and I’m looking for a new one. I know this is cheesy but can anyone recommend a good beanie that is slim and comfortable and will fit under a helmet nicely?

    Just a funny exchange

    so I’m riding up the lift with this middle aged couple. Woman has Head Super Shapes and husband has Enforcers. It’s 11:30 and it’s their first run. Typical resort goers. So we’re riding up the main lift and they are building a new park right next to the main lift and the lady looks at the...

    ON3P virgin looking to get the lo-down

    Looking to cop some ON3P’s next season. Prob Jeffery/Kartel 96s. I know that they are durable and poppy and playful and yada yada but are there any downsides to them? I guess besides price but that doesn’t bother me.

    So...are huge shifties cool?

    for some reason there’s a trend going around where people hit enormous shifty’s off side hits. I don’t know how to feel. If it’s done right it can look pretty sick imo but what do y’all think?

    Where to go next?

    I am at the point where I can consistently land 3’s, 5’s, and 7’s and I could prob throw a 9 if I could find a big enough jump. My question is where do I go from here? Cork? And do I start with a cork 3 or just go straight for 5/7s bc they’re easier? Misty? Should you throw a cork before a...

    Look Pivot 18 paint chipping

    I have a pair of white 2018 Look Pivot 18s that I love dearly. I bought them used and they had some minor chips on the heel piece. Over the last month of skiing hard those chips have gotten really nasty. Is there something I could do to stop or repair this issue because I would like to use...

    WTB: decent skis

    This will be about as cheesy as it gets: My buddy’s girlfriend is trying to hook him up with new whips for Christmas. Her budget is 200 but I told her I’d pitch in a little if it was a good deal. With bindings preferred but I got a pair of griffins I could prob donate. Anything not destroyed...

    Vishnu Skis

    so I’m sure this has already been discussed. But what is the appeal of Vishnu skis? They just seem like like soft butter sticks and they don’t seem to be too rigid. Is there something I’m missing? Are they just a trend?

    2018 Line Chronic Vs. K2 Poacher

    Looking for a ski that will spend about 80% of its life in the park. I do a good balance of rails and jumps, but nothing huge. I’m a fairly traditional park skier (not a crazy buttery skier) but I would like something that butters well. Weight isn’t a huge priority but I would prefer a lower...

    Attn WNY Newschoolers:

    Fellow Holimont Park Skiers?

    Just wondering if there are any fellow park rats that hang at Holimont. I know seasons almost over but... I just can find people to shred with.
