This professionally made Ski Press was designed by an engineer and welded by...

    Days of my Summer

    Well, ski season is a goner. Planning on summiting some 14ers in the Rado, maybe some more backpacking out in Cali as well since the water will be ever abundant, and hopefully try and pick off one or two other trips. What sick trips/destinations does everyone got planned for the summer?

    Keeping camera gear dry

    So far the only real way that I found to semi work in keeping camera gear dry is to place silicone gel packets inside of whatever I am carrying my camera with, but it doesn't fully prevent the condensation along with the lens fogging all up. Any better ideas?

    Coffee in the BC

    So I'm sick of via crappy instant coffee when I go backpacking or camping. I was thinking of buying an aeropress because they are lightweight and pretty good for traveling like that. What do you guys think, any other ideas? Anyone use the aeropress out there and is it actually worth it?

    Tip technology

    Do you guys believe that Rossignol's air tip technology works as well as they say it does?

It does, however, create...

    I am thinking about maybe looking into creating more content in the future, and I was wondering to have my content up on NS, do I need to have a certain rep here on NS, or a level of karma points/posts I need to exceed to be considered reliable and "newsworthy" I guess you could say?

    Topsheet Chipping

    Does a beveled ski really help preserve its top sheet? Or is it something that people just kinda say. I've heard different ski companies say both sides, it does nothing, or it changes everything.

I read a few different things on here such as shaving your legs can help because the hair can rub and fall off leaving bruises on the...
