    Preserving the history of skiing

    I was going through my DVD collection today and it kind of bummed me out that the newer generation will probably never watch a plehouse, rage, h30, tsp, or even stept film. I'm not sure if pbp films are still available online or not, I don't think it is possible to buy older field production...

    Big T.O. urban map

    Been building this up for a bit and now that the snow is flying I figured I'd share. I'm not sure if I categorized everything properly, but it is a pretty big list. Oh and let me know if you plan on hitting these spots so I can join in...

    What is "good" right now?

    Coming home for a few days, wouldn't mind getting on snow for a couple of them. Does fortune have anything set up or should I look to sauveur or gabriel? I'm looking for park but I am well aware that there won't be more than one or two rails set up.

    Fastest possible ski base

    So I imagine by now everyone knows of Rustoleum's Neverwet, if not here is a video: It has been brought up for outerwear, but breathability concerns obviously arise. Today I was thinking that it would be cool to put on my topsheets so I don't have as much snow sticking to them at the bottom...

    New product/ kickstart- Trace sports monitor

    It's being made by the folks at alpine replay and it more or less replaces all those apps that measure your speed, distance, time, etc. So it could be useful if you are worried about skiing with your phone but I think it will really shine through for the skate and surf side of things if it is...

    How do helmets affect your abilities? Essay help.

    Best bootfitter?

    The reason I say best is because my ankles are misaligned beyond belief and from past experiences a decent bootfitter doesn't really cut it. Hell all of the bootfitters I visited in Ottawa (where I used to live) didn't even address the problem or bother to comment on it without me bringing it up...

    A SERIOUS boot/ foot question

    So before anyone says anything, yes I have boots that have been fitted for my feet and so on. The problem is that I have really messed up ankles (my ankles/ legs hang at least half way over my instep), or so I have realized, as well as a weird foot shape, which is funny because my bootfitter...

    Possibly Broken Bindings?

    So I was skiing today and this happenedBefore(ish): After: Now I am not sure if it is perfectly fine to glue the plastic piece back into place, if I should just buy a new whatever it is called or be perfectly fine without it, after all the break happened behind the screw by a good 5...

    How am I to go Skiing?

    I am currently staying at the Humber Lakeshore campus and I would like to go skiing this winter. I don't own a car so I could invest in a bike. That's still going to take me roughly 8 hours on a good day to get to a hill according to google maps so that is out of the question. A cab would...
