reading through this made me miss non-faded sigs oh and booster straps are amazing.

ha its definitely possible... it really depends on how committed to it he is- if he actually trains like a racer i dont doubt it could happen. it takes more commitment than a lot of people think though- theres a lot he did wrong in the runs shown, and he wasnt skiing on zamboni-style racecourse...

no, its just that we disagree hugely on the definition of the "all mountain." i live in new york. you clearly live somewhere where it actually snows. OR you have no idea what carving a turn is, partially because you dont carve powder.

a normal waist for carving skis is somewhere between 65 and 75. 65 is pretty much only sl's, 75 is pushing it a little. right around 70 is the waist of what is usually called an all mountain carving ski. prophet 90s have a 90 waist. thats around 2cm wider. its almost impossible to carve a clean...

i really hope youre joking. all mountain? maybe if you live in whistler. prophets and carving skis dont belong in the same thread together, let alone the same sentence. and salomons are known for being shitty carving skis too (the x-wing is supposed to be an all mountain ski... they have almost...

right but isnt one of them dead

hahaha

a lot of guys who are ski bums who get a few clips in a few movies a year but arent super well known pros actually make next to nothing. they get a lot of what they need for free (skis, lodging) but otherwise arent at all loaded. a lot of them are fucked when they get to be too old to ski that...

not a shop, but the following is a direct quote from SKI magazine's review of the 08 prophets. "True, Line got its start as a manufacturer of shorty skis for park punks before broadening its range to include twin-tips..." wait what? The review is one of 13 in their section called "XXL skis-...

holy shit those look exactly like scott series 4 pros.

check out this site. im guessing quite a few people know about it from ads in ski, skiing, and freeskier. if you havent heard about it its worth a look. theyve got some great tools for getting the word out about global warming, and unlike other programs they seem to be approaching the issue from...

you guys should organize something concrete, too. a lot of organized complaining may help, but chances are they have someone sitting in an office deleting your emails as they come and generating generic useless statements aimed at pleasing the general public. burning their income and image will...

yeah i heard how killy isnt even gonna try this year because they lose too much money and shit. i also heard theyre not honoring the lifetime passes anymore... kinda sad.

actually, race skis have softer, more porous bases. this allows them to absorb wax better, which is really important. wax helps to preserve bases, and waxing those skis more often will help them last longer. also, throw a coat of wax on for the summer and dont scrape it off. this helps keep the...

i hate to break this to you, but your supposed to scrape off every bit of wax you possibly can once its dry.

meet mr. silverstein. he is my new chem teacher for 8 weeks because my teacher broke herself pretty badly. mr. silverstein has been teaching for 57 years, was in world war II, and is looking sharp for an 82 year old. too bad he cant read whats on a sheet of paper even with his glasses on.

the only thing with the automatic is that its probably better than you at shifting for a change, so im guessing people will appreciate it more

i skied vail 2 years ago. great variety of terrain out back, between the bowls and blue sky basin. there isnt much worth skiing on the front of the mountain, and the people are pretty annoying. it bothers me how every inch of the mountain is lift accessed and therefore heavily skied. even in the...

i hate all of you.
