    FT Descendant 6's

    First year FT Descendant 6, 27/27.5. In good working order. Bottom buckles are a little bent. Missing 2 screws from the sole on one boot. Scratched like you'd expect from a boot thats been ridden for 2 seasons. Liners are clean and stink-free. Doesn't have the tongues because they broke at the...

    People you've met at the mountain

    Thinking back, most of my friends I've met while skiing. I've also had some cool conversations with people I didn't even know. Lets hear some stories. My parents met at my local hill when my dad was an instructor and my mom was working at the ticket counter. It's safe to say I'm alive because...

    Volkl Wall

    So volkl warrantied my previous ski (2016 Kink) because the tail blew out. Can't really complain about getting a basically free pair, but I've heard good and bad things about them. Who can tell me what they're like? Mounting Griffons from the previous ski, 177cm if that helps.

    Mold Problem

    So I pulled my boots out of my bag this morning thinking that they'd be dry (had them on dryers last night after skiing for a couple hours). Left boot was fine but my right boot was wet and smelled like something died in it. Pulled out the liner and theres mold growing in my boot, on the boot...

    Architectural engineering

    I'm thinking about college, and I definitely want to go into an engineering field but I'm not sure which one. Im split between electrical, mechanical, civil, and architectural. I'm pretty interested in all but I'm finding it a little more difficult to find info and places with architecture and...

    Making a stiff ski softer?

    Last season I bought a pair of 163 Volkl kinks, not really knowing that much about them. First of all it was a mistake because they're short, but they're also super stiff. Is there any way I can soften them up?`

    FT Flex Index

    Can anyone explain why full tilt uses their own flex index and not the standard index that you see on most other boots? I feel like the more common index would be a little better when searching and comparing boots between brands.

    Knee brace

    So I (and probably a lot of other people on ns) have an unstable kneecap that likes to move to the sides of my knee with impact or after standing for awhile. This also makes my ligaments and tendons irritated and can lead to some pretty shitty pain and swelling that makes life suck for the next...

    Look Pivot 14/FKS Vs. Tyrolia Attack 13

    Which one is lighter and more durable? I'm also worried about brakes on the pivots/FKS because I hear they break easily and are fairly expensive. Mounting on Nordica Enforcer 93's for agressive all mountain use.

    Soulrider?

    Heard good things about this ski for skiers who only play around in the park once in awhile (around 5 days a season for me). Advanced skier but intermediate when it comes to the park. one of my biggest things is durability since I'm starting college soon and need to keep some money saved. Anyone...

    Boot Graphics

    Is it just me or would anyone else like to see some boots in a basic black and white color scheme? I feel like everything that performs well has been in a crazy color scheme or has some weird graphic on it.

    Bomber Skis

    I was reading an article on the Bode Miller Vs. Head skis lawsuit and found out about bomber skis, a company located on 5th Ave. in NYC co-founded by Bode Miller. At first glance they seem like any other ski, except for the price. The "luxury skis" run around $1000 for a kids all mt. and one...

    Nordica Ace 3-star?

    I've been skiing in a Full Tilt descendant 6 for a season and they're really comfy but I feel like my foot is swimming in them, and the 6 flex tongue is too soft (might swap for a 8 or 10 flex). Im also on my 2nd set of tongues because of the rivet issue they had and I don't really feel like...
