Ski season is quickly approaching. Any ideas of things that I can be doing to prepare outside of running. I try to hit the gym a few times a week and I would love to hear anything that you do to build the strength in the legs.

I have had my K2 hemet for years. It is in great condition with no cracks or damage and has treated me well. I'm curious at what point should I be thinking about replacing it? I have had it close to a decade now and I have heard the foam starts to harden after a few seasons. Does anybody have...

I'm now 32 years-old. In the grand scheme of things that isn't that old. However, in the sport of skiing that seems ancient. I have never been a park skier. I have always been more interested in all-mountain and big mountain riding. I really want to find ways to progress as a skier in these...

Hey everybody. I have been getting a little interested in shooting videos and photos of skiing. I work as a video editor and filmmaker but I have found shooting skiing and working in the mountains is way different and a lot more difficult compared to shooting in a studio or doing run and gun...

I'm thinking about making my first pilgrimage to Whistler in April and I'm debating on where I should stay. I know staying in Whistler can be quite expensive. Is it a good idea to stay in Squamish since it is cheaper or should I be staying in the village the first time I ski there?

Hey everybody. I am trying to get back into skiing after taking nearly a decade off. I started skiing at the age of 5 and was hard-charging until the end of high school. Somewhere between high school and college, I lost interest in the sport that I fell in love with. Maybe it was because I...

Hi everyone. I'm currently looking at the Mindbender 99. I'm debating if I should be on the 99 or the 108. Especially since I will be riding at Stevens next year. Anybody have any thoughts on this. I am really looking for a daily driver that can perform well in all conditons.

Hey everyone. I finished this edit about a month ago recapping the Rails and Ales event that took place in my hometown of Wenatchee, WA. I am pretty happy with how it turned out; however, I am always interested in hearing how I could make the edit better. Are there things that I could've done...

The REI Garage Sale is happening in Seattle and I'm debating on going. I am in need of some new snow pants and a helmet? I've heard the lines can be long and the gear can be limited. I'm curious if anybody has had any luck at one of these when it comes to getting some decent ski gear. Also, what...

I am in need of new skis pretty badly. Yesterday I got the chance to try out the Volkl Mantra 5 and K2 Mindbender 99. Both were really fun skis and I am now debating on the two skis. I loved how the Volkl was snappy and responsive. My only hesitance is how it will perform in softer snow on a...

Hi guys. I was recently looking at a Nimbus post here on NS and I noticed a shot of someone shooting with a camera that looks like either a HVX-200 or a HMC-150. I'm curious how much snow/moisture and cold weather these cameras can take. I really don't want to risk my equipment because it is...

I've been trying to import content off a SDHC card into final cut. I originally shot it on my HMC-150. It is 60p/720 each time I tried to do so it crashed my edit system and the log and transfer failed. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can get this to work. I would appreciate the...

Hey guys. I'm trying to figure out what the sweet spot is on the Schizo binding. I was riding them at +1 up in Canada. Today I had them set at +6 and was way too far forward. I did three somersaults and popped out of them twice. What is the sweet spot for you and where should I put them to get...
