    skiing alone

    I ski alone when there is no cool at my mountain to ride with. Most of the people I know up there are immature and stupid, so I dont even bother to ride with them. Usually I go to the mountain, hop on the lift, take some runs, meet some people hopefully, and then go for the rest of the day. Of...

    how many of you actually buy your own gear?

    I buy everything except my jacket. I work at the mountain, so I get a free pass. If I go anywhere else I have to pay for it. I basically work to get new stuff. BTW, anyone want to buy some 180cm Nordica W5.1 skis with Marker 9.1 graphite bindings? They've been used maybe 15 times. Retail is...

    shin bang sucks!

    A little hint i learned from running cross country. When you get shin splints/shin bang, take a piece of wood that is about 1-2 inches high. Put it on the ground. Stand on it with the front part of your foot. Then lower yourself with your legs straight, and go back up. Do it 20 at a time, 2X a...

    biggest bail

    I have a bunch. My best was probably when I aired this mogul out on the slopes, and came down sideways and broke my leg. That was painful. Duh. Also, the time I overshot a 25 foot table and came down hard, twisting my knee, and then breaking my tailbone when I hit the snow. That one was...

    What skis do you ride, and why?

    169cm 1080, cuz I got them for fairly cheap on EBAY brand new, and they are saft enough for the park, yet stiff enough for the groomers, and they'll perform in powder too. Just a great ski for my size, cuz I'm 5'8' and 150. Life is simple: Eat, sleep, ski.

    skiing for the rich??

    My parents are rich, but I pay for all my skiing. I also have to pay for a car. The way I pay for skiing is by working at the slopes, so I can ski for free. I use the money I make to buy skis and equipment. I buy everything not because my parents are cheap, but because they want me to learn the...

    boot pain?

    I have a pair of Nordica W 8.0's, and they hurt my feet like hell. I don't know what it is. My left foot is fine, but my right ankle and foot are slightly larger because I broke my leg last January. What can I do to reduce the pain? I have tried loosening the buckles. That helps some, but there...

    169, 179's?

    Man, I'm 5'9' and weigh 155 lbs. I ski the 169 cm 2002 1080, and it's perfect for me. It does depend on what you'll be riding too. If you're gonna ride mostly park, get the 169. It is also a good length for the groomers. If you're gonna ride a lot of powder, and you're a good, strong skier, get...

    whats the worst feeling in the world?

    The worst feeling in the world is when the snow is perfect, the sun is shining, it's 38 degrees, and you're having a great day skiing. All of a sudden, you make one bad decision, you're flying through the air when you shouldn't be, and you know the impact is going to hurt. Then, you hit, and...
