    Dropper post

    Any mountain bikers out there that can recommend me a decent one? I don't want to spend more than $250 if possible. 30.9mm post with a 3 ring crankset so fitting a remote lever might be a pain in the ass having the second shifter on the bars. Id like to have one if it fits. Putting it on a 2016...

    Jackets

    I was looking at the Vir-tek 3L shell. I looked at the large for 5'10" on the size chart and it seemed ok but i don't like my jackets super baggy. It's my first Virtika jacket so im a little worried about sizing. +k for helpful answers

    Overdevelopment of ski resorts

    This whole mount snow thing with the residential areas going in at Carinthia got me thinking about how there really aren't any mountains left that give you the real stripped down type of skiing that you got at Sun Valley in the 60's. I understand that it's the development of the sport, but it...

    Jay Peak needs help

    Down below explains most of whats happening. I'm not able to make a GoFundMe, but it would help if anyone could. It would really suck if Jay Peak goes under. Too bad the management is a bunch of greedy shitstains...

    Throw me some reccomendations

    Looking for a DURABLE ski, not too stiff, but not too soft, to play around with in glades, steeps and groomers. East coast snow. Turn radius less than 18m, and I'd like to keep the width under 90mm if at all possible. I've been looking around and I haven't found a whole lot, so some input would...

    Something needs to be said

    Skiing is great. we all know that and practically live by that. So why do we all shit on each other about our style or skiing preference. Basically what I'm saying is you do you, make skiing diverse like its supposed to be, because its not fun if we all ski the same. It's time we get the variety...

    Full Tilt toungues broke

    the rivet on the left tongue of my descendant 6 broke, no big deal because its under warranty, but does anyone else have this problem? Ive been skiing mostly all mountain because the lack of snow has kept me out of the backcountry and glades, so its not like I overworked the boot or gave it...

    Where to move

    I currently live around the corner from West Mountain in NY, but take the extra drive up to Gore each weekend. I want to move to either Vermont or New Hampshire after college (staying east coast 100%), and want to be fairly close to a city, nice sized yard, 2+ acres, but still be able to get to...

    The cliché camera thread

    so i have a experience with a gopro and I'm an AV tech, but for cameras I don't even know where to start. I'd like one that can take photos and video, but it doesn't have to be simultaneous. being able to hand it off to a friend would help too. Budget is $600, but id be willing to go up to $650...

    Ski area design competition?

    I thought it would be cool to have a little competition to see who can make the best "NS mountain" trail map. it wont be based off of drawing ability. it will be based off reasonability, meaning a variety of park difficulty, and chair capacity (so I don't recommend doing a tram on a 750'...

    "Non-park" helmets

    My friends give me shit for wearing a Smith Vantage helmet, which has a huge amount of vents. I give them shit (in turn) for not letting people have their own style. Thoughts?
