Yep, looks pretty good too....

Screw their features, BOYCOTT RCR.

As far as I'm concerned they should be boycotted, that means not riding their hills, riding their rails, and not going to any of their rail jams as well. Maybe then they will realize that a park without jumps is not going to cut it, regardless of how many rails they buy.  In fact I hope they...

I just did a little more research, and confirmed RCR does NOT have insurance for terrain park liability.  They self-insure, same as Whistler Blackcomb and many other large resorts. Self-insured means that instead of relying on insurance companies to pay out liability claims, the resort has...

In the interest of keeping the million RCR discussions a little more informed. I just wanted to address the (very common) misconception that "skyrocketing insurance premiums" had something to do with it. I just did a little more research, and confirmed RCR does NOT have insurance for terrain...

Actually, there is a big difference: For the WSI lottery you could only enter once.  This system that the Open is using encourages rich kids to spend tons of cash (which doesn't go towards entry fee) for multiple tickets.

??? Please elaborate, Amsterdamned, we can't understand your freaky deaky dutch.

This is quite interesting.... the Stockholm King of Style comp was a sanctioned FIS World Cup event.... for the snowboarders.  Check out fis-ski.com and they have a press release about it under "latest FIS news".   So basically what the snowboard side of FIS is doing, is sanctioning existing...

You know, if there's one thing that really proves how far behind snowboarders we still are in some aspects, it's the whole "unnatural" concept. Boarders just laugh when they hear that skiers are only "comfortable" spinning in one direction.   "Unnatural" should only apply to older dogs who...

No.  It didn't.  Although a few of the skiboarders did switch from blading to freeskiing.  Freeskiing came from mogul skiers (douglas, cusson, auclair, dorion, thovex, mosely, schad, szocs, mcdonnell, raps, dybvig, dorion, regnier, hall, loubek, etc, etc, etc)

You don't have all the facts. Many major resorts (Whistler/Blackcomb for example), self-insure their parks. Meaning, they do not rely on insurance companies to pay out claims such as lawsuits regarding park accidents, rather they employ their own lawyers, and they pay out liability amounts...

Maybe a diaper for when you go so big you shit yourself? You can never be too careful...

I've never seen "An inconvenient truth".  The global scientific community has been in consensus about climate change since long before that movie was made.  I, along with many others, have been concerned about it since the early/mid 90s.  It's almost disappointing that Al Gore made a movie...

99% of the Worlds scientific community is in agreement that global warming/climate change is real, accelerating, and is caused by human activity. But I suppose all of you skeptics must be smarter and have done more research than them...

Bah, should have known that would never work. Anyways, you are pretty much stupid if you don't wear this when skiing, I mean it's pretty damn dangerous out there.  Make sure you watch to the end, cause it just keeps getting better.... http://www.brightcove.tv/title.jsp?title=463868039

These days, most freestyle ski clubs offer terrain park as part of their programs, and generally would be able to offer better coaching than ski schools.  Contact any of the freestyle clubs and ask them.

The Telluride event is skier and boarder cross only, NOT pipe.  The pipe and cross events are no longer tied together except for the final in Sun Valley March 13-16. There will be two ski tour halfpipe events- the Sun Valley final and another one in Park City Jan 11-13.  They will have men...

You're welcome.  Obviously have you never read the interviews of Tanner speaking about his hopes of pipe getting in the Olympics. In 05 both Tanner and Dumon competed in the FIS Nor-Am halfpipe event at Park city, strictly so that they could qualify for the FIS World Championships in Ruka...

HA!  That's a good one. Every pro pipe skier out there wants to see it in the Olympics.  If halfpipe were not already an Olympic event for snowboarders, the feeling may be different, but halfpipe IS an Olympic event.  It was the first event to sell out in Torino 2006. The Olympics is the...
