    Where do you set your adjustable din pin bindings

    I just got some Line Vision 98’s with ATK C-Raider 10’s bindings ‘cause I’m slow and wanted to try a light kit. I was playing with them at the resort to see how they skied, and had an ejection on a small switch landing with the din’s set to 10 and I feel like this wouldn’t have happened on...

    ON3P Mango 90 difficult to control

    I have a pair of Mango 90's with only a few days on them (they are detuned from factory), and they are very inconsistently grabby when trying to slide them sideways; the tips are difficult to control. I looked at the bases with a true bar and they look good; I'm assuming something's wonky with...

    Chatalaw ads on newschoolers?

    Whoever is running this place has lost their way, should be ashamed, and should stop it. (A big banner on top of the homepage points here: https://chalatlaw.com/skilaw/practice-areas/ski-accidents/ski-resort-negligence/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMImPiF0ZyXhAMVEVcIBB2k3gACEAEYASAAEgLOdfD_BwE ) **This...

    Shop mismount - how long is reasonable to wait for replacement?

    I dropped off some Line Blade's to get mounted 12/10; the tech called that evening and was cool, said he screwed up and had ordered a replacement pair that should be in in 4 days. 12/21 I called, they said it was en route from Denver via Fedex but was delayed, should be in by 12/23. It's been...

    Dalbello Krypton Liners - Zipfit or Intuition?

    I've been running a size 27 intuition power wrap in my 26.5 kryptons; it takes up more shell space and gives me a tighter and better fit than the stock liner but I've got ~90 days on them and they are getting roomy. I'll probably replace with the same, but I would like to hear experiences with...

    Tail butter technique - how to weight the tail of the ski

    I managed to learn how to weight my tips some this year and was very pleased to be able to do some peanut butter 180’s when things went well… But I can’t seem to put a lot of power into the tails of any ski I have… I don’t know how others do it; are you using your tibialis anterior to prevent...

    Shoulder fall - go doc?

    I was lazily doing 1 180 off a baby jump in a little park this afternoon, froze mentally and landed sideways and my shoulder hurts a good bit when using the lat or tricep; the poling motion for propelling yourself hurts a lot. Would you go to a doc? (I've previously damaged this shoulder...

    Masks to ski in when above freezing

    What's working best for you guys? I'm unused to wearing all day when it's not COLD. I tried a summer buff today in just above freezing temps and it was a PITA, got soggy and was hard to breathe through; best I've tried so far for me is thinnish wool buffs.

    Copper uphill touring class

    I did Thursday; nice rental equipment and ~1000ft vert; I was huffing and puffing but learned a lot for $99. Instructor was very good IMO. https://www.coppercolorado.com/things-to-do/activities-amenities/uphill-tours

    Dalbello Lupo Pro HD - heat mold?

    I have been happy with 26.5 Dalbello Krypton's, I have intuition power wraps in them to tighten them up a bit. I ordered some Lupo Pro's in the same size. I intend to go to a good boot shop (summit co, co) and get footbeds; would you have them heat molded, or will putting up with a. couple days...

    Bent Chetler 120 remount

    Well, I screwed the pooch several ways trying my first binding mount, and let the skis sit in shame in the corner for a season but I want them now... I mis measured, used the wrong drill bit, etc. Filled up the holes a couple days ago with fiberglass resin, and topped off with some wood glue...

    Park skis for Old Guy

    I'm trying to learn some park @ 47 and have been skiing some Line Blend 171's; I'm 5'8, 165lb, strong legs. Will be skiing mostly out west. I have other skis so I'm looking for whatever will help me learn fastest (and be fun). I'm a beginner butterer, terrible on rails (can't even have fun...
