If so how did it go? I'm getting really frustrated with the flat light and fog we've been having. One of my local hills is really good about keeping their jumps painted, but the one closest to me just uses some flags on the lip (sometimes, they don't always even have those). Unfortunately...

I'm going to the one at Stevens pass this weekend, but they happen all over the country. I have a bit of a beef with the event though, it claims to be park oriented but last year we didn't even ski the park really, and our park instructor bailed due to "bad weather". It was raining. I mean...

That was posted 2 days ago on my local mountains website in "celebration" of their new women's specific ski programs. Here's the rest so you too can be mortified. And people wonder why there aren't more female park skiers, meanwhile attitudes like this still exist. The struggle is real...

If you haven't already seen it on TGR it's definitely worth watching. http://www.redbull.com/en/snow/stories/1331751148082/watch-freeskier-tatum-monods-2015-season-edit Apologies if the embed doesn't work.

I got some new intuition power wrap liners a couple months ago to replace my stock liners. I love how much space the intuitions take up in the heel and ankle, the only problem is my old plug liners were very thin in the toe box so now my intuitions, because of how thick they are, are crushing...

After about 80-90 days my replacement set of 2013 atomic punx (my first set I broke halfway through the season but got warrantied) are nearing the end of their life. One of the skis has decambered and is now flat underfoot, so it's only a matter of time before it goes completely. I loved these...

Just wondering if anyone has been before and if they thought it was worth it. $350 is a lot of money, but if the coaching is good and the atmosphere is fun it might be worth it. I would have to drive to Whistler from Seattle, which is a bit of a commitment and more cash as well, so would love...

I have very skinny heels and ankles as does my husband so we are always looking for new boot fitting products. While searching for laces for my inline skates I recently came across the Stable26 socks. They make ski specific socks with what basically look like built in J-bars. They also have...

Since it's summer and I'm trying to keep fit for skiing next season I've been using a balance board + freeweights. My routine however, is getting a bit boring so I came up with a minigame where I watch POV edits and try to mirror what the riders are doing for added difficulty; roll left for...

I'm looking to replace my K2 Hellbents which have been my pow ski for the last 3 years. I feel like I've finally outgrown them and now find them too floppy and too unstable at higher speeds in less than ideal conditions, especially firm chop. Strongly considering Volkl Shiros since they meet...

Normally I would just mount at recommend and not worry about it, but the recommend mount seems really far back on the Gotamas. I also worry because the only other full rocker ski I own is the k2 hellbent and I prefer my hellbents mounted at +3 (they had schizo's on them so I was able to try a...

I retired a pair of 2011 Kung Fujas last year and I've been missing them ever since. I went today to demo 2015 gear and they changed the crap out of them. Rebranded as the shredditors this year and for 2015 they added tapered tips (also known as spoon tips, 5 dimensional sidecut, etc). I...

I don't ski rails, just jumps. I'm 5'2 130lbs and while I consider myself an expert skier I'm still just entry level at park. I will straight air huge jumps, but my tricks are limited to grabs (off anything) and 180's off small jumps. I was riding park all weekend since this is the last week...

They may come up again if you miss it this time: http://www.steepandcheap.com/?avad=14989_f410ac19

Seems to be the season for demo days right now. I've gone to two different demo events in the last week. Everytime I demo a ski with Marker Demo Bindings I pre-release. This has been true of Marker squire demos, marker free 10 demos, and even the marker griffon demos. I'm an aggressive skier...

Recently finished our summer setup, we have m-snow for the drop in, but astro turf for the landing. I don't know if my K2 press just has a crappy base, or if the m-snow or the astro turf is destroying my bases. Anyone else experience a similar problem?

I'm new to jibbing. I ski in the PNW so there is tons of snow, which means I've only really focused on jumps when I'm in the park, occasionally I'll 50/50 a box. I bought some presses for super cheap during the summer deals so I can detune and otherwise beat the crap out of them and finally...

First some info on sintered bases for those who don't know: "Sintered bases are created by taking the plastic in a powder form and slowly heating it, supercompressing it into a block, which is then sliced into sheets. The different ratings you see for bases (sintered 2000, 3000, 4000, 6000) are...
