    Spin Symposium 05 cancelled?

    Honestly, this is all really good to hear. No, the Symposium isn't the only event that interests me - I'm up every weekend possible, taking in whatever the hill has to offer. Thanks for your response, as vehement as it was... "Can it" - I really liked that part - felt like I was 12 again...

    Help! Vökl Karma vs Fujative

    Since you like park and butters et.al. I would suggest the Fujatives - they're designed for that. A more appropriate comparison to the Karma (fantastic all-mountain board BTW) would have been the PE's, but they're not being considered, right? -------- Demo days allow all skiers to try different...

    Spin Symposium 05 cancelled?

    Word from some respected mucky-mucks at Mont Tremblant is that Intrawest is in serious financial trouble because of currency values, weather, past reputation, and the way they treat the skiing consumer. To add fuel to the fire, all events are to be cancelled, since the Events department head...

    High North or Momentum

    Probably because you kept asking what tricks you learn. Listen, there is no fixed curriculum okay? The camps don't go out claiming: today you'll learn the switch cork 10 'cause it'll be the money trick at comps this year, etc... You fill out a form at the beginning stating what you'd like to...

    why don't many girls go in the park?

    The terrain park is the one of the last domains for male bravado and braggadocio. Consequently, it is an intimidating environment for someone who's new to the testosterone-laden newschool scene. To top it off, I have found that many major parks aren't designed or suited to beginners. Yes, even a...

    Fat Skis edge Hold

    Yes, torsionally-rigid skis will transfer pressure to the edges better and more evenly. BUT that applies more towards the tip and tail than what's happening right under the boot, which it what I was talking about. Think about it, once you add bindings, their mounting screws, and step in with...
