Hello people of Newschoolers! I am sick of my Marker bindings (they're also unrideable) and looking to switch to look pivot 14s. One feature which I liked on my Marker Jester though is the ability to adjust the height of the slider under the toes. It seems the the pivots dont have this...

Hello NS, I just had an idea for a new forum-game type thing... You post 2 Links: Link 1: A ski edit Link 2: A song with which the edit should be watched instead of the regular song. You mute the edit and watch it with the other song playing. I'll start: Go!

Title says it all. I can get the rotation around for a switch 5 but land backseat most of the times. How can I prevent this?

I worry that I will do a mute grab and pull the ski right of my foot, flying trough the air holding a ski in my hand. What are your deep dark fears in skiing?

If you don't know what lucid dreaming is: It's basically the coolest thing ever. In your dream you realize that you are dreaming which allows you to "wake" up inside of the dream and take control over, not only your actions, but over the universe in the dream as well. That means you can make...

Hey NS, So... I have seen this game in a different forum and I thought it would be fun to play on here since the taste of music seems quite broad on NS. The rules are simple: Rate the song above you from 1(terrible) to 10(eargasm) and then embed a song yourself. If a lot of people...

Are TSG helmets any good? They look stylish in my opinion, but will they protect my head?

Title says all. Go!

hey ns, so last year i harldy skied any pow because the avalanche conditions were gnarly and I know nothing about reading the snowpack and so on. I was wondering: Do NS members actually know how to read the snowpack and own the proper gear? Or do you just hope for the best when skiing pow? I...

I'm going to make it short: Where is the best place to ski in the summer for a couple weeks in europe? I'm currently looking at zermatt, but it seems quite expensive. Any suggestions where you get the best skiing for a good price? Thanks

Just watched this edit from gus kenworthy again and noticed his goggles. EDIT: (sorry I don't know how to embed) They look like dragon rouge goggles with nike branding. I'm not sure though and google couldn't help me out so far. Any idea what goggs those are and if you can even buy these...

So i can reach the ski quite nicely for a mute grab but my skis are just crossed a little bit. I want to tweak out my mutes to that "90 degree angle between skis" style. Any tips on really crossing your skis on mutes?

Hey NS, So i am not entirely sure what the difference between cheap and expensive bindings is, other than durability. I am assuming that an expensive bindings allows less prereleases than a cheap binding at the din setting? I am switching from squires to jesters and i am a little worried...

Hey NS, If i always use the same allround wax, what's better: to hot scrape with said allround wax or use a waxremover? ( i would use toko hc3 waxremover)

Hey NS, So i'm going to invest in a waxing iron and while I was looking at waxes I noticed that some are low fluoro, others high fluoro or non fluoro. What does this mean? What different purposes have the waxes with low/high fluoro? Thanks

Hey NS, Last year I made the mistake of buying marker squires because i got them really cheap. THe bindings are sufficient for landing forward but they release when I land switch and the plastic plate keeping the brakes in position cracked twice already. Now I am thinking of upgrading my...

Does anyone have experience with any of these skis? It seems that the Step is more geared towards small jibs and rails while the wall seems to be designed for hitting jumps of any size. I am looking for something to hold up well on jumps and rails but also all around the mountain and maybe...

Hey NS, so here is the situation: I am going to be a ski instructor for a few weeks this season and tomorrow I have some kind of technical training meant to improve your skiing ability. The thing is that, since I have never been an instructor before, i will teach little kids who have never...
