Why would anyone listen to Tanner? Just curious. He has lived a sheltered ski porn life that has had little reality or substance in it for many years. he is not some vast fountain of knowledge, the kid cannot even add 2 and 2 togetehr without getting a headache. Take him for what he is....a...

You, my friend, are fucking clueless and should not be touching a screwdriver - Pegging a binding at its maximum setting leaves the springs NO room for recoil and actually makes the binding pre-release much easier! Think of it as driving a car with no shocks - a proper DIN setting for you will...

QUICK review of "modern" new school skiing from someone who was there first hand: 1994-1996 - Terrain parks started building step-down jumps and snowboarding was getting insane - with new shaped skis in shorter lengths we started to migrate/poach boarder only parks - Elan SCX's with turned up...

Please call it CLIMATE CHANGE not global warming Global warming is an awkward term that does not really describe what is happening The major problem is going to be significant climate change new storm patterns more intense storms Hotter hot spells colder cold spells drier droughts deeper...

I have seen some of your pictures, unlike many on this site you can walk the walk. That said, as someone who has also competed in many big mountain comps, some of your peers are insane - and, on any given day, can (in my opinion) ski any line Seth or Hugo have. Were you at Squaw this year for...

springtime - yellow wax, heavy thick layer - No scraping (except the edges) - the rough snow in the spring will eat through the was so fast that unless you leave it thick you will be hiking down the run by midday -

Fuck yeah - nice to see someone back their claims with some legit proof -

Not at all - the friction coefficient of NC snow is 3.14x that of snow in VT and 6.28x that of west coast snow - the ptex base on those skis will dichromatically departiculate the ice crystals into a hyperosmatic state - whch will leave you unhappy - in fact no skis work on NC snow, to be safe...

thebackcountry.com - I think that is their site - Mike at the Backcountry (Truckee/Tahoe City) has some awsome info on hikes, topo maps and has some legit advice and gear to rent - I am a fan of theirs not an employee - one of the most core shops in Tahoe - all the guys their hike huge vert all...

The backcountry has gone to shit this season - overnight temps have been in the low 40's and the muck has not been freezing - I skied little alaska between grouse and twin peaks on friday - and it was untracked 50-degree MUCK - about a foot of slush that slide out and sent wet slides down every...

^^^Good Point The scariest skiing experience of my life was at Chamonix during a steep clinic with the Deslauries (sp) brothers - ropes, harness, belaying into 65-degree chutes with nothing more than some gnar rime snow covering sheer rock - knees shaking, and fucking scared all day long If...

I respectfully disagree, I have skied many days side by side with Shane and Gaffney #1 and #2 at squaw, and have had this very same discussion - The natural talent some of our locals have, is at Seth's level - And skiing alaska/bella type lines is only a budget issue - I have been lucky enough...

What is amazing is that are many unknowns that can hold their own with Seth. I know, your all going to say I do not know shit, but trust me, once you get into the small world of big mountain skiing, you start meeting many unknown local psycho shredders... The hardest part about big mountain is...

My ONLY problem with western european/hebrew,islamic biblical type religons is that they completly exclude the possibility of other cultures belief systems - The great question is who has picked the right religon - Everyone thinks they have the answer - and they are right, therefore everyone...

set up picture - Think people. name JUST one time that both your skis came off on the lib at the SAME exact time??? Just once... This is a set up picture, he ment for this to happen...perfect form, no panic, skis came off at the SAME EXACT TIME...

1. Fibia = pussy injury, non-weight bearing bone that does nothing but provide a little rotational support - you could break it and not even know - suck it up! 2. Regardless of defective product...YOU chose to participate in a dangerous activity in an outdoor arena - YOU are soley responsible...

TRUELY clueless.... I can't wait to see idiots try this one

Answer - Support homegrown hills - Silverton type places - under-developed non-mega resort owned places - True old school ski areas with a base lodge, moguls - where skiers are measured by how many laps they ski and not how sick their jersey matches their goggles. I learned to ski in 1979 and...
