So NS, I got a problem for you guys to solve. There is a box at my home mountain that had quarter inch HDPE on it last season, no coping surrounding the HDPE, predrilled and then screwed down. Now it gets pretty cold where I'm from, and the HDPE warped like crazy! Is there anyway to prevent this...

So basicely I live in Ontario and the mountains here have been relying on the ski/snowboard community to make and setup features for the past like 8 years, and the community is getting kind of tired of doing all this work with nothing in return. I was looking at some vids/articles about Ruby...

I just had my skis mounted, and I'm just curious if hand flexing the skis before the glue settles is a bad idea?

So NS, I am about 5'7.5-5'8, 145 lbs. In the park I mostly jib on rails and small jumps, (nothing over 20ft in the park.) Outside the park I like to charge down groomers and do some real skiing and what not. I am looking at getting 174cm (but actually 176 b/c its k2) Recoils. Will this be too...

Okay NS, so I have a bit of a dilemma with a part-time job choice for this upcoming school year. I'm in college now so three days a week I have half-days off. I could either work for like mcdonalds or something, or I may have the opportunity to get a job a ski shop. The disadvantage of the ski...

So I bought these off ebay ($115 with skis,) without being able to do any research before buying seeing as there were only 10 minutes left in the auction, and I'm just wondering what the difference between the older style geze toe and the newer style toe? Is it full metal like the newer one...

Okay so I'm from Ontario, never skied anywhere good before and I want to go somewhere with good skiing (preferably powder with some park,) for a week long trip either on spring break or winter break next year. I'll be taking a greyhound bus wherever I'm going b/c I don't have a car and flying is...

So I'm from Ontario and I'll be driving down to Denver, Colorado with my dad to pick up a seadoo, and I'm just wondering if there going to be any mountains open near Denver still then, or if there are water ramps or something nearby. +K for help.

Where I live everyone is always complaining about how the parks always suck at our two local mountains. So I'm just wondering, how much do you guys think it costs to start up/run a small ski area? Nothing huge, just one or two jib filled runs with one rope tow or carpet lift. Running a small ski...

I'm deciding between these two boots. I know that the Spk Pro is obviously the better boot but is it really that much better than the Kreation? +K for help.

Does anyone know how to soften the flex on these boots? It says in the manuel you should be able to remove the two screws on the back of the boot, but when I tried to remove them they wouldn't thread out. +K for help.

I think I know a good spot for a wallride near my house, I just need some tips on how to make concrete slide nicely. Wax? Snow?

Does anyone else have trouble using harder waxes when hot waxing? I'm using Swix CH6 right now, and I always seem to have to use an insane amount of wax to cover the whole ski, because I can't get the wax to flow too good without ironing to the point where I worry about burning the base. I ended...

So NS, I can go for a trip west this winter, and I'm looking for a resort that has both a solid a park and good all-mountain/pow stuff. I live in Ontario, so the closer the better. I would also prefer to stay in Canada. Any recommendations?

Hope this isn't a repost, but Marker has a new site with along with all their 10/11 stuff. http://www.markerusa.com/

Okay so I have a few questions about FKS 140's. I searchbared and didn't really find what I was looking for. So I am about 5'6", 130lbs, and have a bsl of 305. Skier level 2-3. I usually run my DIN around 6. So my question is will the FKS 140's be too much for me? Since they have great...

So this is the box I made this past winter, I'm pretty happy with how it turned out, but I have one small problem. I bought puck board to use as the sliding surface, and I contact cemented it to the wood. It worked for a while, but after a month or two and then the puck board came off. Now I...

These are my old Head Mojo Two's. Head doesn't really get much recognition on NS, but their skis are sick. These are 2 seasons old, and are still in good condition, not one edge crack. They super light too. So yeah, thanks for the great skis Head!

So I bought some Nine Life's in 172, and there is about twice as much rocker in the tail as there is in the tip. Is this normal? I messaged some people who I know have Nine Life's and they all said it seemed odd, but they all have 182's. So does anyone have 172's that are like this?
