While mogul skiing is a much better basis for skiing than park I have seen more than a couple over-specialised mogul skiers who could not ski big mountian. This includes a friend of mine who competed for the US in the olympics as a mogul skier (name witheld). She was training in Chile while I...

If it is a girl, name her Squaw, a boy, Heavenly

Cody Townsend was named after the peak in the Tetons. He later stated he was lucky not to be named Brokeback

What graft to get is a MAJOR point of debate on TGR's gimp central forum. In fact, that sub-forum may be the best source of information on various ACL reconstruction options for laymen on the internet. From there you sill find that it is almost consensus that a graft from your own body (auto...

I can't remember if I posted this earlier or not but yes, there is an ongoing party in Whistler. OIther adults, diggers coaches or someone will always be going out. Last year the only night out I missed was the night after ingrid backstrom drank me under the table (that girl can DRINK and BTW...

This really depends on what you are looking for. I have skied greenland, South America and New Zealand in the summer and I still like coming back for camp. Camp has a great vibe and allows you to learn something you wouldn't normally do in a very relaxed atmosphere. The parks on the glacier...

Did he say he was 40 or was that your estimate? The hardest part about going to a kids camp is finding out what age the kids estimate your age to be. Once you hit your late 20's or early 30's you are put into their parent's peer group and assumed to be 40. It is a crushing blow to one's self...

I just sent you a message but I thought I would repeat myself in case there are others who think they are too old for camp. Firstly, while Momentum has adult only camps it is already underway and too late to sign up for. I wouldn't worry about that too much because from my experience, adults...

Those were 2 in a series of advertisemtns that were made by one of the Japanese rail companies to promote skiing.  Not only does skiing promote travel on the trains, JR East also owns ski resorts.  In fact, I recongnise a lot of the footage as from a resort called Gala in Niigata Japan.  It...

How old are you? I am 32 and going to session 5. I went to high north for the last 3 years and was never the oldest camper.

At the risk of hijcking a bit, I am wondering if ESPN was largely blameless in inline's demise and it was clever marketing by the skateboard companies, why did inline screw up so badly in defending their niche.  I am a bit older than average on this sight and come from a small hockey town in...

I was going to go to session 1 (adults) but screwed up my MCL and pushed my plan to Session 5. Are there any more adults in 5 or will I be the only one? (First time for me to but I did HN for the past 3 years)

If you want 189 Seths, I have this years model only used about 10 days mounted with Marker Dukes that I want to sell and I live in Japan so you would only need to carry them 1 way.

Japan has a thriving freeski culture that is growing very quickly (but snowboarding is still dominant). Because Japan has very well funded mogul teams (the women, at least, are top ranked and have won Olympic golds) there is a pipeline of talent. Japan also has great trainng facilities in the...

I live in Japan and ski every holiday, weekend, sick day in the season and I have travelled across Japan to ski its different resorts. You are right, Hokkaido (the north island) is the best bet for snow cover at christmas time. This is the home to Niseko, Japan's most famous resort due to it...

That is exactly what I was thinking watching it. It was like SSX On Tour. I almost expected him to rip his skis off and then throw them back on mid air.

I think the "right angle while holding the basket" is a throwback to the days before parabolic skis. That was the standard when I was younger and it led to much longer poles than I use now. Parabolic skis have led to a wider, more aggressive stance and as such, have shortened the optimal...
