    Advice on new skis.

    He's only out west for a week a year. Look for Karmas or AR6s if your heart is set on those brands. I am your size and ski the Foil and it rocks. Next years MSP and Rossi Brigade (and Ghetto) are also sweet. --rick

    Dumont pro model

    The Dumont works surprisingly well out of the park on groomers. It is light and poppy and really fun. In powder it will be some work though. --rick

    Bigger jumps

    It really will help if you can follow someone to get the speed right. I mean actually follow right behind them off the jump, so it needs to be a friend. That is how I get my students to go from small/medium to large. Once you get it a couple times, then it is easy. --rick

    Getting PSIA Cert 1

    You won't start getting 'sweet deals' until you are at least level II. Level Is can get some discounts, but not what I would call 'sweet deals'. The free skiing thing is also a myth at most areas. I just got my level III last year and know of 1 area that does free tickets for level IIIs. Get...

    Is it just a rumor?

    I have ridden Burton boards for 18 years except for one year where I tried another company. For a few years I broke more than one board a year. It happens, and Burton replaced every one. That's why I still am with them. They also have the best shapes and materials (that I have ridden, but I...

    Burton skis

    No, it is not seperate. Analog is a seperate company, Anon is a seperate company. Ronin is just a line in Burton outerwear. Audex is also a line. Just like the 1080 is now a line of skis from Salomon as is the X Wing series. Yes Ronin has different designs and features, so does the AK...

    Burton skis

    Anon and Analog are seperate entities owned by Burton. Ronin is just a line of clothing that is under the Burton name. They have Burton, Ronin and AK outerwear. Buying 'Ronin' means buying Burton. It's like the PE and Fuji are model from K2, not seperate companies. It is funny to hear...

    Burton skis

    Alright, I have been skiing for 20 years and boarding for 18. Let's clear some things up... 1) JAKE Burton, not Jeff Burton 2) Skiers, ski areas, and the snow sports industry as a whole used to hate snowboarders. We weren't allowed at most resorts. Burton and other OG board companies have...

    Public Service Announcement

    You know what's funny SAC employees post on other forums to let people know what is going down. You don't see any here. This is not really a community to "help fellow skiers." It is a place to help sponsored/hooked-up skiers make some cash. --rick
