    anyone ever skied of mt.everest ?

    ^ Just adding some more context to the above... Everest was attempted seriously only twice before. Pierre Tardivel of France skied (Elan skis) in 1988 by the normal approach route from the South Peak, however, the biggest challenge - Hillary's Step - was not attempted. In 1996, Hans...

    SKIING HALFPIPE OLYMPICS

    ^^ That won't work for Olympic-qualified athletes in Canada or the U.S. as their respective federations conduct knock-and-pee tests throughout the year. i.e. They show up at your house, gym, etc. unannounced and take samples. A friend of mine was already tested 5 times this year going into...

    SKIING HALFPIPE OLYMPICS

    Most of the pros being named will be too old and uncompetitive in 6 years. Look to the 12-14 years olds today...

    ^I picked up a pair of S 914FIS bindings for under $200. Weird if in fact the 912's were more expensive...

    hatin on Salomon?

    A few pros I've talked to feel the emphasis should be placed on cost. Given the amount of abuse skis are taking on rails, bails, and rejections; cheap replacement is the key. Many Line models, K2 Fujative, and the old Salomon 720 are the right direction, especially if you want to expand...

    hatin on Salomon?

    Actually Tyler makes a couple of really good points which I'd like to address: 1080 for beginners - having tested a vast majority of twintips, all-mountain, and powder skis for publishers, I can say this is not far from the truth. I would add that it is well suited for younger (

    hatin on Salomon?

    Ummmm, S-A-L-O-M-O-N? Funny how short term some people's memories are. So Salomon, K2, Rossignol, Dynastar, and Line created this market segment, and a few upstart companies capitalize on its popularity by claiming they're more core, rider-oriented, etc... THEN turn around and offer products...

    footbeds

    Instaprint beds from Green Mountain Orthotic Lab are the best I've owned. I've also had Superfeet, Conformable, and customs from Surefoot. I'd recommend the the Instaprint if you feel you need them...

    Whistler Glacier Troubles

    Just a gentle reminder: a glacier is ice, not snow. You ski on the snow that has accumulated, over the winter, on top of the Horstman and Blackcomb glaciers - which are seriously receeding right now.

    CR's pro model

    The rep is holding the bottom ski that jksl posted. The top is black, it`s the tail that has the camo, which is very dark anyway - you have to see it in the right light. Lanks - the race base will burn like any other. God forbid you take pieces out of it because it is very hard to repair due to...

    Jamie Pierre

    I'll say this, in movies where every other rider can throw a switch corked 900 or straightline a 45° chute, he's carving out a niche for himself by attempting what few others even consider...
