Hello! Can anyone give me the lowdown on Williams Lake? Good place to live as a skier? May possibly have an opportunity to move there from Ontario for work. I see that it is basically 5 hrs from a number of good mountains (Whistler, Powder King, Revelstoke) and also has a small local hill. Any...

Hello Media and Arts! I just got my first real camera (Canon Rebel SL1). I have a few questions. 1. Last night I was trying to do some test shots outside. Its cold up here in Northern Ontario right now, (around -20 Celsius). So I head out, snap a couple shots, and then my camera doesn't want to...

Heading to Minneapolis for a few days, who has the best park right now?

This is probably a shot in the dark, but I know I've seen some posts by people working the B.C. forest industry on here before. I'm currently a student in Ontario, and will be hopefully finishing up a degree in Environmental Management and eligibility to be an R.P.F. in Ontario. I have a...

Is this movie still happening? From what I remember this was supposed to be a two year project coming out this fall. They put out a trailer last year, and I haven't seen anything about it since.

Hello NS, I have my C License road test, (driving a school bus for tree planting company), booked for this Friday. Anyone ever take this test? Any tips?

I have a question for any FKS gurus out there. I have a pair of FKS 120 bindings, and the forward pressure never seems to stay the same. I will tighten up the forward pressure, and then 1-2 ski days later I will have developed toe slop in at least one binding. Currently, I'm just tightening...

I have a question for anyone with experience building rails for terrain parks. I've been helping out my local hill with some new features for the park, and we're planning on painting some of the new features. In the past, new rails that were painted ended up being pretty sticky until the paint...

So there have been rumors in ski gabber about Banshee Bungee going under. While there hasn't been an official announcement (that I've seen anyway), their site is down, and there are rumours of lawsuits. Pretty sad to hear that the company that revolutionized what boarders/skiers can do in the...

I'm looking into using LED lights for urban, as they are much cheaper than a generator, less of a hassle, and completely silent. These are the ones I'm looking at. http://www.superbrightleds.com/moreinfo/portable-work-lights/20w-portable-high-powered-rechargeable-led-work-light/1297/2992/ We...

So, as I'm sure everyone knows, a generator that is both quiet enough for urban use and reliable enough to start in the cold is NOT cheap. Has anyone ever tried using LED lighting before? http://www.superbrightleds.com/cat/portable-work-lights/ These lights are battery powered, and can also be...

So this season was the first time I tried to hit a lot of urban with the crew. It was fun, and for next season I'm considering investing in a generator for night urban. I want something that is quiet and portable, I'm willing to spend up to possibly $500, mabeye $700 tops. I realize this might...

I'm sure many of you have seen the gnarly leg break NBA player Kevin Ware suffered a few days ago. Some articles I read speculated that he might have he might have suffered a stress fracture prior to traumatically snapping his leg on such a low impact landing. The article went on to say that...

How is Spirit right now? Heading there tomorrow, and their fb says the big park is closed for a few days. How is the minipark right now? Still fun? Anyone on park crew there and know what the chances of a friday park openning are? Regionals I know I know, but no one reads those threads. +K for...

Heading to Breck tomorrow, and I'm just curious if there is any way (or any inexpensive way) to do day trips to keystone? I know the lift tickets are transferable, and I'm thinking that Keystone might be the better place to ride right now. Seeing as the hotel was booked a long time ago, we will...

NS I need your help! I need a link to the picture (high quality preferable)of that funny looking baby in the latest TC episode. Muchos Karmas if anyone can help me find one. It's for a funny christmas gift. I'm stealing their idea, don't judge.

A local shop in my town is putting on a rail jam soon, and we have a small problem. Some of the rails we will be using were made kinda wierd, and they are sticky sometimes even when its the middle of winter. Add on some rust from the summer and some possibly warm temperatures and we are a little...

I'm currently in my second year of a 2-year diploma Environmental Technician program, and next year I have the option of transfering right into third year of an Environmental Management undergrad program at a university. Anyone on NS taking this major or something similar? I'm just kind of...

Hey NS, it looks like I may get an opportunity to get more involved with the setup and maintenance of the park at my local hill this season. I am looking for some pointers and tips from anyone with experience on a park crew. Now, I know the basics of setting up features. That part is pretty...

So basicely I ate it on some stairs hitting urban, and had to get two stitches on my upper thigh, rather than making a trip to the hospital to pull out just two stitches, I figured I could just get em out myself. I cut the knot on one of them, and accidentally snipped both ends of the knot, and...
