    Rehab.

    Summer is always hard on skiers, but this summer has been especially hard for me. I've been trying to get back in shape for next season, and I'm starting to notice a pattern in my life. My freshman year, I skied and snowboarded as much as I possibly could, tried to board beyond my skill level...

    Ninja at my school

    This was found posted outside of a dorm room. Apparently there is a ninja loose on my campus. Anyone in the Tacoma area should be on high alert. In case you can't read the handwriting it says: I would like to offer my sincerest apologies to those whom I, for a lack of a better word...

    MyTP Freesking 2

    I've been playing a lot since I broke my back. It's a pretty legit game. def a good time waster in chem lecture. I haven't thrown anything bigger than a dub misty 1080 though. It's really hard to pop right. Anyone else playing?

    Broken Back, -3000 gnar points

    I broke my back on Saturday. It sucks a bit to not be able to ski for the next few weeks, but all in all Saturday wasn't even a bad day of skiing. Everyone I met was helpful and wanted to see me get to safety. I was riding with a few friends at Snoqualmie's Summit Central (which isn't a...

    Stevens spring pass?

    Anyone got news about Stevens' Spring pass? Last year they did a spring pass for 99 bucks and I'm hoping that I can get one this year. So far the Washington season has been shitty as fuck. . . . It's been dumping freezing rain for the last three weeks. Snoqualmie hasn't even finished their pipe...

    Looking to buy new Rossis

    I've been skiing a pair of Rossignol scratches for the last 4 years and now I'm looking for a pair of skis that handle in powder a bit better. I've been reading some good reviews of the S5 but most of the reviewers were 6 foot and 170 + lbs, I'm 5'' and 140 lbs on a heavy day. I'm not really...

    Can't feel the hate for Warren Miller

    I've been gettin a lot of bad vibes from the ski world towards WME lately... But I gotta say, I just can't feel that way about it. I just watched dynasty, I go to the Warren Miller movie every year for my birthday, I wasn't disappointed. It had some good scenes, they always do a good job showing...

    No Urban Dictionary entry for shinbang?

    I freakin destroyed my left shin on a 20 footer on friday, now I can't go skiing today because it hurts so bad. I took advil and iced it all last night, but it still hurts like a bitch. Ironically enough, it wasn't that I didn't have enough speed to clear the landing, its that I had so much...

    I'm going to be in Colorado by tomorrow afternoon. Most of my time is gonna be spent at Solvista - Granby Ranch. My uncle works there so I ski free. Its not great but its got some jumps and rails to hit. I'm going to take some day trips out to Arapaho Basin and Breck though. I'm familiar with...

    I hate snow...

    It's dumping snow here in Fairbanks. Whiteout conditions, its perfect powder, but it's making my life hell. I barely made it in to town and back out to my house, the roads are some of the worst I have ever driven on, that's including all the offroading trails I've done. My car (1966 Land Rover)...

    Landed first switch on to rail!

    I'm pretty stoked. I figured out I have to spin right instead of left, and make sure I'm really looking over my shoulder and not snow plowing. It feels so freaking cool, so much more fun than hitting rails regular.

    Centermounting Rossignol Scratch Sprayers?

    When I bought these skis my parents had them mounted for me. (Christmas present) They aren't centermounted, and honestly, I'm a little skeptical of centermounted skis... It seems like you would loose a lot of versatility when it comes to hitting the rest of the mountain. What are your opinions...

    Help with Video Camera Purchase

    I'm looking at upgrading to a pro video camera, for ski videos, school projects, and some other independent projects. I've taken some film making summer camps and I'm fair at editing, I used to have Final Cut Pro 4, but thats pretty much useless on my new comp. I'm gonna get Final Cut Express...

    Jibbed out... Whats your park/ride balance?

    I've been hittin rails in my front yard for the last 9 days with no breaks. I just feel cramped up hiking the same stuff over and over again, but my friends are mostly all park freaks. I'm new to the park and still love to feel the wind in my hair on the black diamonds. I was just wondering how...

    What do you hit in your front yard?

    And I'm talking skis, not wives, children, or animals. This is my baby. 16 feet, by 16 inches. Its sort of a noob box, super hard to fall off of. My friends and I put a couch and barrel stove down there. Plus some dewalt lights and a stereo. We were blasting a disco station because the ipod...

    Conditioning for park skiing

    I just switched from all mountain riding to park stuff. I've been working hard on rails and stuff. I'm still pretty much shit at skiing, but I have 180's down, and I can hit rails pretty easy, I'm nowhere close to 270 on or switchups yet, but w/e I've got a lot of winter left to learn. I skied...
