A tall mogul-style, "drop" jump seems like it'd be good. I just don't want to land in a hardpack rut line.

On what kind of jumps do people learn this trick? Booter into powder? Big-ass hardpack table top? I tried it once on a smaller hardpack jump and ate shit in such a way that I couldn't even begin to describe what went wrong.

Is that the same as 20:1?

Kirkwood has the best big mountain skiing by far. It's got a good layout and gets more snow annually than pretty much any other ski resort. Also, the locals are a lot more laid back than other places in Tahoe. It's not a ski-to-be-seen resort and there are no lift lines. It's my favorite...

Here in Alaska, I'd say it's about 45% skiers, 35% boarders, and 20% telemarkers. I think that the popularity of backcountry skiing here makes skiing and especially telemarking easier choices since skiers and telemarkers can skin up.

Nobody makes impossible jumps look easier than Candide. I'm still recovering from seeing his epic D-Spin over Chad's Gap like 5 years ago.

I didn't know there was a review section. But I found it and posted a review. Thanks.

Since people were cool enough to respond to my "Seths v. Prophets" thread, I thought I'd report back. I went with the Prophets because (a) I liked what I had read about them; (b) they are a little stiffer than the Seths; and (c) I just had a good feeling about them. I love my Prophets. I've...

I'm 90% sold on the Prophets. If my credit card and I come into close proximity with the ski shop, it's a done deal.

They were initially on my list (Salomon has been a trusty ski-maker and I dig the simple graphics of the gun), but I've spoken with a couple of people who claimed that they were (a) too soft and (b) deteriorated quickly. The latter may be bullshit, but it's all that I have to go on. Guddgulf-...

The AK Enemies look like fun skis, but I'll be skiing Tahoe (Kirkwood mainly) next year and they seem a little to soft and powder-oriented for most Tahoe conditions. As for the 179s, I'm sure they'd be better in the park but I grew up skiing in the early 1990's when 205 bump skis were the norm...

#1. It makes me happy. #6 looks too photoshopped. #7 is sick, but it's so far removed from what I can actually do.

First off, thanks to those who have responded. Has anybody actually skied the Prophet 100s? The first person mentioned it being a lot softer than the Seths. Is that true? Because the Seths seem kinda soft already. Thanks again.

Having killed my trusty yet ancient X-Screams this weekend, I'm looking to get new skis. I ski about 75% big mountain (deep powder, chutes, trees, etc.) and maybe 25% park (jumps and pipe but no rails) at Alyeska with an occasional backcountry romp. Of course, in the spring, those percentages...
