    Rent or buy for Banff

    Hey all, I'm headed to Banff from the UK in March. I've got my eyes on a pair of Nordica OMWs, but I'm wondering if i should put off buying them until I get back. Obviously it would be nice to take my own stuff, but I'm guessing there are plenty of rental shops out there that could set me up...

    Banff rentals?

    Hi guys and girls, I'm headed to Banff from the UK in March, just for a week. I'm planning on getting some rentals while I'm out there to save me bringing out my own skis. I'm wondering if there are places that I'll be able to swap to different skis if I want to? I'd like a place where I am...

    Have I left it too late?

    Hi all. I'm 24, and I've been skiing for about 5 years, with some beginner lessons about 10 years ago, and I'm now at a point where I'm happy with my ability and I'm looking for new challenges. I live in the UK, so pretty much only do one week a year, maybe 2 if I'm lucky, with some time spent...

    Castleford next week

    Is anyone headed to Castleford next Thursday/Friday (6/7 November)? I'm headed on my own to play on the beginner features, looking like a 20 odd year old douche. Anyone wants to make themselves look good, or help me improve, I'd be up for a laugh.

    Silksworth

    Anyone go? I went tonight for the first time, realised how terrible I am at skiing. They have freestyle nights on a Monday apparently.

    Shipping from US

    So, here in the UK, free skiing is understated, because the majority of the population are one week a year piste skiers. While there is freeze pro, and to an extent, Brighams, there are very few other shops, either on the high street, or online, that sell the stuff we like. However, there are...

    What should I do?

    Currently got Dalbello Krypton Pros. Last time I was out in them, got pretty bad shins. The liners are pretty packed out, but I also think they're a bit stiff for what I really want - thinking that standard 'universal' intuitions may help get rid of shin bang but also soften them up a little...

    Atomic Theory/Infamous

    I just got back from a Salomon test session This post has nothing to do with Salomon. While waiting for it to start I grabbed a set of Atomic Theorys (theories?) and had a few runs on them. Amazing. Very poppy for an all mountain ski, more than happy switch, and holds an edge real well, felt...

    Cairngorm

    Hi all, Just wondering if anyone has been up to Cairngorm recently? What's the snow like? I'm thinking of a trip up later this week, probably Thursday or Friday - if anyone wants to give me some pointers in the park, I'd appreciate it... Chris

    Atomic FFG 14 vs 16 vs Marker Grifon 13

    I've just ordered a pair of Punx, with FFG 16s as part of the package. I usally have my DIN on 7, so it seems the FFG16s (90mm brake, din 9-16) are no use. FFG 14s (100mm brake, din 6-14) look like a better option, but I've also found some Marker Griffon 13s (90/110mm brake din 4-13) at a good...

    Which skis for a noob?

    Hey, I've just started geting into park, but have been skiing for a fair while, confident on blacks, riding switch etc. I've done a little bit of park stuff already, few lessons here and there and can just about land 360s, but want to improve. I live in the UK so only really get away once a...
