THe Remix is way way better than the orriginal. There isn't any talking for a long while in the remix, which I like. THe orriginal was way too riddled with people chiming in with their thoughts, just took away from the skiing. The music was way better in teh remix, better cinematography with...

You should go to Whistler for a few reasons: First, if you want to drink, Whistler is the only place to do it without having to fear getting an MIP (minor in possession). Secondly, the nightlife in Mammoth is not great at best. I lived there all last season, right in town, and believe me, it...

chris, why did he threaten to throw you out of the comp?

you can use your skis on trampolines. I've done it heaps. It is hard, and a lot of work. If you are not on a olympis, rectangle trampoline, it does not work real well though. It halps so much with tricks, practicing with your skis on. If you can do it with skis on the tramp, you can do it on...

the best one that comes to mind is http://www.snow.co.nz/ You should check out all the ski area websites as well. I think you would be lucky to find employee housing. I tried to work as a ski instructor one year, but you need to be level 2 or 3 cert. to work. You also need a worker's...

For trampoline training, you should just use your feet most of the time. GO to a gymnastics place and use olympic trampolines....they will make you go much much higher and it is a lot more fun. If you want to practice with skis on, you need to flatten the edges, and put carpet on the base...

Definitely take advantage of that airfare!!!! I'm living in New Zealand rihgt now, orriginally from Washington, and trust me, it is totally worth it. THe skiing is a bit different than in the states. First of all, it is much smaller. Their mountains are a little too extreme to have huge ski...

Most all of your problems are caused by two things.... either your leg hair is getting ripped out by your sock and it just feels like shin bang, or you do not have the support you need in your boot under your foot. You should go to a professional boot company (i.e. Surefoot) and get custom...

Plus, between 1958 and 1997 the polar ice caps (we are tlking permanant ice, not seasonal ice) thickness decreased by 40%. This is in a 39 year period. The natural "cycles" of the earth are about 500 years, not 39. Ice is a good indicator of the earth's climate, the best we have infact. It...

You guys are all in DENIAL. I have studied weather for two years at university and specifically, Global Warming, and here is the real story: Yes, It's true that the earth goes through warming and cooling cycles, but, this is the longest warming or "interglacial period" the earth has ever seen...

I was hitting a 45-50 footer (depending on the snow depth) at mammoth.....freakin scary.... Anyone else think it is easier to flip off a cliff than to straight air? I always land flips but when i straight air i freak myself out cause i think i am going to hit really hard....

So Guys, It was a long time since i went to the NZ Freeride Camp. Let me tell you, DONT DO IT. It is a complete rip off, you don't get "real" coaching, and the coaches and guy who runs it are jerks. It was very dissapointing to have my experience dampened by such people..... But, on another...

not enough people wear mouthgaurds. Ive worn one for the last 2 years, and it has saved my from multiple concussions, and it doesn't make you look gay, everyone just says, wow, that's smart.

Yea, well, when I was like 11, second season on skis. I didnt use poles, I was one of those wierd kids on the hill that everyone was like, What the heck is he thinking? Anyways, I didnt know how to get a double chair properly and did not look to the inside. The chair came around, center pole...

you coined the problem ive been having ever since i got my 1080 boots. The shin hair thing only happens in my 1080 boots and it hurts like no other. When i was done skiing at Baker the other day i pulled a huge clump of leg hair out of my sock, it sucked! Anyways, it is not only shin hair...

Hey Guys, As of 3 days ago, I finally figured out what I'm doing this season. Knowing that I wanted to take winter off from the UW to go make up for lost time from my torn ACL of last year, I have been pulling my hair out trying to figure out what I wanted to do. Then, by an act of God, I was...
