    Never thought it would happen

    It is pretty ridiculous that a patroller would ding you for sagging, but then again, almost everyone I see sagging looks like a douchebag, so then again, maybe he was looking out for your own good. There's baggy ski-wear, which is pretty cool, and then there's just ridiculous, like someone 5'7"...

    Salomon Z12 TI

    Hah, you've got to be fucking shitting me retard. Salomons are one of the most reliable bindings on the market, and have been since probably before you started skiing. Markers are the kings of pre-releasing, and people on here just like Looks because they make "jib specific" bindings. How a...

    Dumont pro model

    I found the dumont to be pretty capable outside of the park. It is pretty soft, so you can't just trust it to blast through variable/cruddy stuff. It is definitely a ski that takes skill in line selection and technique to ski off-piste. With that in mind, it's a very nimble ski and holds a...

    07/08 Park Ski Reviews

    I knew I would get a lot of "WTF?" type comments when I say that next years T-hall is stiffer, but I skied it and I'm sticking with my opinion. It's not a dramatic change, but enough to notice and enough to make it much more fun all over the mountain.

    Simple ? simple answer

    178...unless the P3 is a really soft ski, and everything I read says it has a very medium flex. Don't take it wrong, but you don't have enough meat on your bones to power a 184 ski.

    Salomon Z12 TI

    If you are sloppy with your switch landings, you WILL break the breaks and baseplate in the process. Otherwise these are bombproof bindings. I ski a pair on a pair of Seth'ss that go all over the mountain including park and drops, and have no problems with them.

    Ski gloves

    You need mitts. Honestly, ounce for ounce, mitts are warmer than gloves. Also try to warm your hands up in the lodge before you put them in the gloves and go outside. The glove insulates heat your hand gives off. If your hand isn't giving off heat, then it doesn't matter what glove you have...

    Armada ARV

    185 I'm 5'7" 140lbs, and had no problems skiing the 175s.

    Feeler: like new p10s

    Umm, this is a 10-din, couple year old binding. Not a whole lot of value based on that. Yes it's the no longer made turntable heel, but it's still a 10-din, older binding. If it's used at all, he would be lucky to get $50.

    $70 tops, chop some off that if they're used at all.

    07/08 Park Ski Reviews

    It was really hard to judge ski weights because almost every ski had the lead weight known as a marker demo binding on them. I really couldn't say on the volkl.

    07/08 Park Ski Reviews

    Very much agreed. I had never skied this ski, and I didn't ask specifically, but based on the fact that graphics were the same, I'm guessing nothing changed on it for 07/08. If I were to buy a park-only, ski, it would between this and the T-hall. It would come down to whether or not I would...

    Line didn't have the invader at this demo event, so I didn't get to try it.

    Opinions! what ski and which length?

    There is some dumb knowledge in here. K2 measures their skis with the effective edge i.e what's actually on the snow. So, a 169 Fujative is more like a 172 or 173 in other companies skis. If you're only 5'4, 169 could be a lot to handle. Go 159 and mount reccomended, especially if you...

    Gonna buy skis today!

    If you are a bigger guy, the scratches might be the best bet of that list. The AR6 would also be a good option as it is better than the Ar5 once you get out of the park.

    I did not get a chance to as it was always out with a demo'er. My co-worker got to ski it though and said not much had changed from this year, but I believe they might have given it a little more width through the entire ski.

    07/08 Park Ski Reviews

    It may have been in the past and that may still be the focus for next year, but I found the shape and flex to be great for all mountain. Don't read into what a ski is "supposed" to be for (i.e 60% park/40% AM). Ski it and then decide. I skied the 07/08 T-Hall and think it would be a good all...

    07/08 Park Ski Reviews

    Not incredibly, but just enough to make it more stable and hold an edge better. I really liked this years AR6, but the t-hall was that and more. I think they beefed it up for more use on the occasional big mountain-esque terrain.

    07/08 Park Ski Reviews

    I would agree it was pretty predictable, the problem I had with it was deflection in crud and a tip that seemed to have it's own ideas at times when it came to pointing the ski in tight places. Could have been a factory lack of a detune.

    07/08 Park Ski Reviews

    I got to ski a bunch of next year's skis at a retailer demo trade show this week. Conditions were somewhat spring-like the first two days with lots of hardpack, and then up to 6" of fresh in spots on the last day from a small overnight storm. K2 Public Enemy I've never actually skied a PE...
