    Sara Burke done?

    Sorry, but the "people" you know don't know shit. Get new friends. Burke just signed with Roxy. Read that thread. And the only thing people around here hate is ignorance.

    How to put on ski boots?

    Fortunately, since I ski in Hanson boots, I have no need of a power strap or other useless accessories, like canting.

    New Freeskier Mag out!

    What a novel idea! Instead of complaining that you aren't getting the mag on a newschoolers forum, actually call the subscription service! Wow, why didn't I think of that? Seriously folks, if you aren't smart enough to do that, then it's hard to imagine you were smart enough to fill out your...

    Sarah Burke left Volkl For Roxy

    Whatever. Burke is now on Roxy. It's obviously a better deal for her, because she's no longer on Volkl. Roxy paid more for her and she's doing what is best for her career. Expect Roxy to continue to sign top-notch female athletes and expect their skis to improve as well. And if you think I...

    Ski pro to pimp

    Hmmm, Linds-o-rama, I don't find it surprising you are interested in this kind of thing, since you once worked for Playboy. . . But since you asked, here's a story that said "pro" (if you could call him that) really doesn't want you - or his parents - to read...

    Whats the best event in your area?

    the Colorado Freeride Series and Championships at Snowmass is fun. It's a big-mountain gig, but always cool to watch people go insanely big off of cliffs. A good time for sure.

    Semi desperately seeking roommate(s) in SLC

    I'd plan on bringing a sleeping bag. Your car will suffice until it gets cold. Or you can camp up in one of the Canyons at Alta or the Bird (on the down-low). Spend a week or two doing this until you find a place via Craig's list or the local paper.

    Chile- El Colorado

    www.andesweb.com and www.casatours.com will be helpful as you plan your trip to South America. While a Chilean responded to this post saying El Colorado has the best park and while he/she is correct in that statement, please do not expect to find anything close to what North American resorts are...

    Don't plan on skiing there yourself, it will be PRIVATE. Think Yellowstone Club with lame terrain.

    Ski Racks

    Check out the classified ads in your local newspaper or a used sporting goods store. I've scored super-cheap Yakima rack stuff at a one of those places. If your car has rain gutters, you'll score something really cheap, otherwise you may have to go with some sort of fit kit for Thule and...

    And I'll sell anyone a very, very hard to find first issue of Freeze for $50 including shipping. Mint condition, only one issue printed that year, Seth Morrison on the cover.

    Backcountry touring

    There are a few words of wisdom here. It's true that any ski will work. But since it's the backcountry, you will - presumably - want a fatter ski for all the pow you are going to ride. It's also true that Black Diamond makes skins. Yes, they are good but so are G3 and Backcountry Access. It...

    Help me with resort employment

    Big Sky could be fun. Huge mountain, not too many people. Or Snow Basin, Utah. Nothing's going to beat Aspen, though. Four mountains, great nightlife and expensive as hell!
