    Online Avalanche Course

    Here is an official avalanche course to help you gain awareness this doesn't mean that after doing this you'll be set to do backcountry, but it's a good start and you'll know a little bit more about why it's not so smart to go into the backcountry without any proper knowledge or gear. This...

    DEEPER IS AMAZING

    I know it's a snowboard movie but TGR's Deeper starring Jeremy Jones is amazing. I love the concept of combining alpinism/mountaineering and ski/snowboarding to ride the lines that even the heli's and snowmobiles can't reach. I'm giving huge thumbs up to this movie. If you've never heard of...

    Hope for Aspiring Pro's Who are Tall

    Most professional skiers and especially park skiers seem to be an around the average male height or only a little above or below the average height. This leads us to believe they are better suited for the sport and maybe they are, but this doesn't mean that tall skiers can't make it...

    Help Buying Goggles

    I have some really old Oakley A-Frame goggles and it's time to replace them. It seems that A-Frame, Crowbars, Splices and Smith Stance would fit my helmet best (Giro G10 MX). I've heard things about the Splices but godamn are they expensive, so are the A-Frames. The Stances are probably the...

    PG>13 Still waiting

    This site is full of park, rails, whatever jibs and steeze. (not to mention people who might flame for another pg 13 thread). But I have yet to see any skier that has caught my eye and make me go "Oh wow, this guy is definitely good." Don't get me wrong now. A lot of these video's are wicked but...

    Does Rub-On Wax Hydrate?

    I have oneballjay rub-on X-wax and on their site it says it's good for all temperatures. Good. What I want to know is wether or not it hydrates your bases to rub in a rub-on wax. It's in solid form so I don't expect the pores in the bases to absorb it like hot (melted) wax.

    I'm sorry I HAVE to Brag

    71cm of fresh snow on whistler. We now have a 190cm base and although ski out isn't much of an option yet, more snow is on the way. A lot of more snow. The only downside is now a lot of places are under flood-watch.

    Waxing Top-sheets?

    So, I was skiing pow yesterday with some friends and some of the snow lower down was sticky and loaded up their top-sheets. One of them said "I wish I had waxed my top-sheets"... Would that work? Rub on wax? Melt on? On what surfaces?

    What DIN do the pros use?

    Im a level 3+ skier, 180 pounds and 6'4" and I use a DIN of 9-10. That said, I'm curious as to what DIN most pros use with their skiing style of high speed, huge drops, etc. It's just a curiosity thing, they must make bindings that go up to a DIN of 15 for a reason. But do pros even use a DIN...
