    Great World Series

    So stoked on the Giants and Bumgarner is just a beast. Such a fun series to watch, glad it came down to the last out really. Stoked on sports right now in general, October has had some good games all around.

    Background Overexposed, Foreground Fine (Video)

    I want to dim the blown out windows in the background without changing the whole picture. Not sure how to isolate the background from the foreground in terms of exposure and adjustments. I'm working in Premiere Pro CS6.

    Favorite Robin Williams Movie/Standup

    In light of his death I started thinking of all his great work. My favorite is Hook. I just love that movie no matter how old I get.

    Color Correction

    I'm wondering if any of you guys know good websites, articles, books, etc. on how to properly grade footage. Or however you learned to do it. I've been working in Premiere Pro and it is shot on a Canon DSLR. I've just been getting more into narrative filmmaking and want to start producing a...

    No Longer Ski

    How many of you no longer ski? Since graduating college I've only skied about 3 times. So who here doesn't ski or do any snowsports anymore and why? Mine is simply location now.

    Am I Weird for Disliking my Macbook?

    I got a new Macbook because my Dell laptop was on its last leg. I thought I'd try out the Mac side of things after such good word of mouth. I knew there would be a learning curve to the OS but that was fine with me. Yet after a month in I'm still frustrated to the point of having to just walk...

    Thread Titles Are Blue Links?

    Why did this happen all of a sudden? Every thread title is a blue clicky now instead of just regular black.

    South Lake Tahoe Jobs in Spring/Summer

    I'm looking to find a new job in May/June. Are there any jobs that see a lot of changeover/hiring in that period. Any tips for finding some work, even part time, during this period would be helpful. Just trying to plan ahead so I don't get stranded with no job and no money. Thanks guys!

    Snowmaking Bad for the Environment?

    Is extensive snowmaking bad for the environment and water supply? With 3 years in a row of dismal rainfall in California and big resorts cranking out man made snow I've always wondered how this affects the local environment. Where does all the water come from, and for instance does the runoff...

    Binding Toe Piece Trend

    I'm curious as to why the toe shape that I first saw on Markers a few years ago is now on the Guardian/Tracker, and now Tyrolia has adopted a similar toe design on the Attack series. I understand they are not identical, but they definitely all stem from the same starting place. What about this...

    Armada ARVti: Anybody Ridden It?

    The original ARV is my favorite ski and I'm curious as to how the new replacement ARVti compares. So if anybody has ridden it or something share your experience. Can't find too much on this ski. Seems like the Al Dente kind of edged out the old ARV since that was what Henrik was riding before he...

    Testimonial: Bootfitting Exists

    So like everyone else I've always had boot problems. It is extremely frustrating because they can affect your skiing in such a large way. I've left the mountain around 1 or 2 some days because my feet hurt so bad. I would like to stay till closing generally. So after coming on here you always...

    Distance From Home Mountain

    I'm curious as to how far people are from their home mountain. Like how long does it take you to get there? Are there a lot of weekend warriors on this site, or do most people on NS live close to their mountains?

    Gloves to Shoot Photos With

    What are a pair of decent gloves to wear while shooting photos with a DSLR? Something with a little tactile feel and decent warmth. Not looking to break the bank, but a mid-level product is fine. Thanks for any suggestions.

    Do I Need Snow Tires

    I'm going to be living to Tahoe for the season instead of commuting like usual and wanted to know if snow tires are necessary. I have a RAV4 with 4WD and it has all season mud/rain tires. Thing is I'll probably only be up there for a season before going to school elsewhere so I don't want to...

    Powder Leashes/Ribbon Cords

    Do any of you guys use them, and if you do are they useful? Not the best skier in pow and the occasional times when I do lose a ski it's such a pain to find and usually eats up a good amount of time on a nice day. Any thoughts on them are appreciated.

    Just Watched "Crash Reel"

    That documentary was one of the rawest movies I've ever seen. Yes it is about snowboarder Kevin Pearce, but at this point its all the same honestly. It definitely got me thinking about our sport in ways that I haven't before. The film also touched upon CR's and Sarah's accidents too. Definitely...

    Anyone been an EpicMix photographer for Vail Resorts?

    Got an offer to for this job and wanted to see if anyone else has done it on the mountain and if it was worth it or not? At $9.45 it's not the best pay, but it is a job nonetheless. Any advice or info is appreciated.
