    What's open at Wachusett?

    I was thinking about going to Wachusett tonight. Do they have any park open, or was it all trashed by the rain? It's been cold the last few days so they should at least have been making snow. Is the halfpipe open?

    What tricks do world-class moguls guys throw now?

    Going into the Olympics, I realize I haven't seen any mogul comps since the last Olympics. What airs do they need now to win? I think they're throwing cork 7's and D-spin 3's, with some people trying 10's, right? What do the women have nowadays?

    Any suggestions on a good online store for ski clothing? Siver, Sessions, Orage, stuff like that? Preferably with last season stuff still on clearance.

    Learning to ollie

    So, I got a skateboard, started messing around and can now ollie about a half inch up, some of the time. This seems like somthing you just need to hit over and over until you get it wired, but does anyone have any tips for getting it right? 'Ha ha, you suck' comments welcome, as long as you...

    What's a good first skateboard?

    I've been thinking about trying to pick up some skateboarding over the summer. What's a good size board/wheels/whatever to start with for street skating? (I'm about 5'6, 140 lbs.) Or are they all pretty much they same? I just don't want to get the skateboard equivalent of DH skis to start with.

    It's time to call it a year (except maybe a last trip to Tuckerman) and I want to thank everyone for all the help I've gotten from you guys this year, in answers to my questions and to everyone else's. Score at the end of the year: * Got 180s wired, off drops and tabletops, still underspinning...

    Basic halfpipe technique?

    First, you guys rock! Thanks to the tips you gave me on skiing switch and other people on rails, I've got the first nailed and starting to get the second. Anyway, now that we've got a halfpipe open, I'm trying to get a feel for that too. I think I've figured out the basics -- relax, turn your...

    Best mail-order videos and clothes

    What are the best mail-order places for videos? (Is there any price difference anywhere, beyond on E-bay?) How about for clothes?

    Just too cold!

    I don't have much to do this week, there was some recent snowfall, I really should ski -- but it's just too freaking cold! Yeah, I'm a wuss. But frostbite and landings on blue ice just aren't getting me worked up to go. On the other hand, it's -44 with -94 wind chill at Mt. Washington. Maybe I...

    Look backwards when riding switch?

    While they get the terrain park together, I've been playing with long switch rides. Do you manage to keep looking downhill the whole time when going switch? I can only manage to get peeks when I'm making turns, and am not sure whether it's my stance, that my neck isn't flexible enough or if...
