Hey NS'ers. In the past, I've made a few bingo cards to check off common sights or stereotypes for your season. I'm working on putting together one for opening day, and I need your help. What should make this list? What are some things that you would commonly see/do on opening day? I've got a...

Hey NS brain trust. I'm doing another comic of stupid dad jokes and puns, like this one: https://www.newschoolers.com/news/read/Dad-Jokes I have 7 pretty good ones already, but I'd like to have eight, so does anyone here have any stupid jokes in that vein? Simple puns that look good...

Behind maybe mountians and ravens, I'm pretty sure squids and octopuses are the most common topsheet design element. Why? What corelation does skiing have with Cephalopoda? I mean, there are even multiple "cosmic" octopus topsheets out there! Why the obsession? Post any octopus topsheets I...

Thinking about writing about ski shops and how unacceptable it is that they mess up ski mounts so much. Has this happened to you? If so, how did they mess up, and how did they go about making their mistake right with you? And have you noticed a difference between local ski shops and big box stores?

Yo M&A folks! If you want to get paid to write and take pictures, get a free ski pass and health insurance, and live close to some of the nation's best skiing, here's the gig for you. No experience in community journalism needed, just need to be able to ask questions, write clean copy, and hit...

Ok fellow skiers. Winter is coming up, and I'm working on creating an illustrated "Ski Movie Bingo" card. Basically, I'm putting together a list of stereotypes that appear in a bunch of ski movies. I have a pretty solid list already, but this community is bound to have a bunch more. What tired...

This is a thing I think about and want to talk about way too much, so I figured it deserved its own thread. What graphics are you stoked on, who do you think phoned it in, what graphics do you not love personally but understand why they look like that? One thread for all of next winter's skis.

Instead of drawing one big picture, I've been drawing lots of little ones. Here are a few so far. What do you like? What do you hate? What other stories should I draw?

Just a little early season PSA prompted by a personal experience. Always turn your beacon on before you leave your house. I know it's not as snappy sounding as "on at the car, off at the bar" but if you check your beacon at home, you actually have the oppurtunity to do something about it. If you...

For Sale: A bunch of rad camera gear! (AKA the “Action Sports Photographer Package”) Getting rid of my old setup, buy the whole shebang and I’ll cut you a deal, buy one thing and I’ll thank you profusely, mix, match, and bundle! All prices are flexible, let me know what you want, let’s talk...

Two things: 1) Who's gonna be skiing next weekend? I'll be blading aggressively and want to meet all of you. 2) Anybody have any sort of hookup on a discount ticket? I'd be happy to pay in booze, art, or dogsitting. Party on!

So, I haven't bought a new laptop in four years, and my 2013 MBP is starting to feel it, so I think I might need to upgrade, especially since there is a lot more video editing in my future. What I have now: MBP 2.4 ghz i5 8gb RAM 128 GB SSD I know I don't want the new MBP, so I'm trying to...

Hey NS, time to turn some gear into $$$ since winter is coming and it's feeling like it might be time to think about getting a beater sled. All prices are OBO, we'll negotiate shipping based on where you live. Feel free to hit me with trades, but I'm not interested in most stuff, although I am...

I want to be a fruit booter. Size 9-10. Let me know what you have. I have a lot of ski gear and accessories I'd be interested in trading as well.

Hey Idahomies! If you want a long winding explanation check this thread: https://www.newschoolers.com/forum/thread/817396/Just-another-NS-T-shirt-company The short version is that we made "Ski Idaho" shirts, and you can have one if you give us money Check em out here...

Just kidding, we're not a company.... but you can give us your money in exchange for t-shirts with stuff we made printed on them. A little bit of backstory. Last spring when I couldn't ski because the northwest had no snow I started drawing things. You may have seen this one: I started to...

This year I really wanted some new graphics under my feet. After hunting around a little, and listening to the advice of some good friends I opted to draw my own on my old skis instead of investing in new sticks. I've been wanting to do this for a bit and looked around and didn't see any really...

I know it's waaaaay early but we've got a tiny bit of snow on the hills and I'm starting to get the itch to do painful things with skis on my back. Just moved to Driggs and I'll be wandering around down here as much as possible this winter. I'm always down to walk up things and I'd be stoked to...

Hey NS, winter is almost here and I've got a few things I'd like to sell or trade so that I can get a tech setup, and maybe upgrade cameras, feel free to offer up or call me out if prices aren't fair. As always I'll throw in some swag with purchases. As far as trades and stuff I'm interested...

Ok, so I have a few questions and honestly would just appreciate some discussion from people who are better photographers than me and have experience with any of these cameras. First, for reference, my current setup: -Canon 7d (og, not II) -Ronkinon 6.5mm fish -Tokina 11-16 -Sigma 18-200...
