I’m honestly kind of lost with this thread. Yesterday started out as one of the best ski days of my life where I was skiing at a level I had been working towards for years and had found satisfaction and love for the sport again which had been absent recently. Early yesterday afternoon I took a...

I need some help from my CO peeps. I am gonna be heading out to Breck for a week arriving on Saturday 1/29. I have heard the horror stories about I-70 west of Denver on the weekends and want to try to avoid that. I am not going to be skiing that Saturday but I really don't want to get into that...

Anybody got recommendations for an inexpensive pair of wireless headphones to ski with under my helmet? I do have earpads on my helmet so def need something low profile.

So not only is there not any snow in IL right now. A tornado that collapsed an Amazon warehouse came through my backyard and nearly killed my dogs while I wasn’t home tonight. Screw this December

Gonna be in CO in Feb and was looking at taking a day and doing Quandary Peak. I’ve never done a 14er in winter so any info or tips on it would be great.

Just curious how many people on here snowboard too. I’ve been doing it for about two season but really only do it around the Midwest. When I go out west I usually only ski because I’m a lot better at it and I look to do a little more technical stuff. I just want to know how many other people...

So When I’ve gone camping over the last 10 years I’ve almost exclusively gone backpacking. I’m looking to do more camping locally though and am gonna be camping out of my truck in a couple national forests. I’m just curious what everyone takes and makes for meals when they go car camping. There...

Is anybody on here into Mountaineering or Alpine Climbing? I’m looking to get into it if anyone has a recommendation on good schools and courses for it. I’ve got a decent amount of climbing experience so I’m not too intimidated by it. It just seems more places just want to sell you a guided trip...

Have any of you guys seen commencal skis? They are apparently made by the mountain bike company and they had some ridiculously low prices on their website

Looking for a new set of all mountain sticks. Looking for ideas in the 95-103mm range that's playful but stable at speed. I spend about 70% on trail and 30% off (Bumps, Bowls, Trees) and I only really hit natural features so I don't need a dedicated park ski but I like a twin tip and skiing...

So I work part time at a ski shop and this dude came in last week to get his wife fitted for boots. This dude was getting her fitted for touring boots and as I live in IL I started talking to this couple about their touring exploits. Come to find out that this guy has done “ a ton” of...

Anybody seen the news. The national weather service has forecasted a winter weather advisory for a system that is supposed to drop between 9-15in of snow over CO next week. I always like watching the snow accumulations during the early season so peeps in Colorado keep us updated!

What are the most techy badass inbounds runs you've ever done? Mine was Big Couloir in Big Sky. That had the most pucker factor of any run I've done by far.

I fully expect to get roasted over this, but for real any info helps. I'll be working in Englewood and will be moving in about 8 weeks, so any info on good housing, food, nightlife, ski shops, bike shops would be appreciated.

So I've noticed that almost all of my upper level university courses were just various applications of a single course that I took early on. I thought it would be interesting to see how other people boil down and describe their majors with just one class. For example, my entire undergrad can be...

So I have a bunch of friends into overlanding and have gone with them on a few occasions. It's a great way to experiece the outdoors in a different way and am looking to get into it in the near future. In the next year I plan on buying a truck and buding my rig from that! For any body that...

So I'm looking to go to Japan in January of 2021. I am currently looking at the Hakuba region as the most likely option. I am wondering what knowledge you guys have for lodging, transportation, resort suggestions, etc. Any information helps as I am trying to keep the costs of this trip down.

So I've got a pair of fischer vaccum boots that I need to modify for this season. I need a little more room in the toes. The shop I work for doesnt do the fischer process but we have the oven for doing the salomon shell process. Is there any meaningful difference in baking the shell? I dont...

A dude put a pair of 174cm telemark skis in my ski shops swap meet and wants $25? Should I try to free the heel or nah. I've kind of always wanted to try tele skiing.
