I'm in Canada and would like to watch the X Games. Anyone have a link that works? The YouTube stream seems to be US only.

Hey, Any Ottawa NSers know of a good boot fitter? I've bought many boots over the years from kunstadt and t&l/sporting life and not once have I been fitted by an actual boot fitter who knows what they're doing. I was wondering if anyone could recommend me a someone who could take a look at my...

Hey NS, I've had a pair of Marker Griffons for 1 season (60 days on snow) and now I've noticed some (about 1mm) play in each of the toepieces. Here's a video of another guy with the same problem and the same bindings, though his are worse than mine: I was wondering if there anything I (or a...

I have a few questions about these skis for anyone who's tried them. Are they the same thing as the Caddy, or the JO Pros, and/or the Blueberry Lemon? How is the flex? Do they have a sintered base? Thanks.

Just wondering if typical demo bindings can be moved back and forth (i.e. from center mount to traditional). I understand that I would have to readjust the forward pressure and that it wouldn't be as simple as the Marker Schizo system. If anyone has demo bindings (let me know which ones), how...

Hey, I know most of you don't go over to msm that much, but they've got some of the best (non-park) terrain near Ottawa. This season they've been making a few changes, including a new glade on the Vanier side and they're even hosting a rail jam (the first msm's had in a while). Here's a link to...

Hey, I have a question for all you guys who tune your own skis/work in a shop. My skis came from the factory with a 1.5 degree side edge bevel (I've been riding them for a while but haven't tuned them yet). I'd like to sharpen them, but my bevel guide is for a 2 degree side bevel and it seems...

Hey, I just registered for the CSIA park course (gonna be taking it in December). For those who've already taken it: What was it like? was it fun/easy/difficult? Just wondering what you guys have to say about the course.

So, I need a new ski helmet as well as one for longboarding and realized that I could probably use the same helmet for both. Just wondering if you guys know of any good multi-impact helmets that have removable earflaps - price isn't really too much of an issue as I'd already be killing two...

I'm looking for a (preferably symmetrical) park ski, for both rails and jumps (maybe a bit more rails than jumps) - but here's the catch: I'm also a ski instructor on the East coast, so I'll need to make some decent turns on the hardpack as well. I'm 5'8-5'9, 145-150 and was looking at the...

So, my home mountain is getting an airbag for the holidays. Since I've never hit a bag jump before I'm wondering what it's like to land on one and how much it breaks your fall - can you get hurt landing on your back/head when doing inverts into an airbag?
