Okay, so with the resort closures, I (as I am sure many of you are) will be getting more heavily into touring. I have my avy gear and an avy1 cert class coming up, and some light backcountry/sidecountry experience (mostly strapping to my back and boot-packing or using snowshoes) with friends...

Just saw these: https://www.daymakertouring.com/products/alpine-touring-adapters Anyone have experience with them or know anything about them?

Got some 184 Wildcats last season as a powder ski, ended up liking them so much they became my daily and I sold my Black Crow Daemons . Bought a pair of 181 Jski Masterblaster for icy mornings, groomers, and early/late season shitty coverage. My only concern is that last year was not exactly...

For those of you that don't live near the mountain: do you ever sleep in the parking lots (or near the mountain) to save money/be first in line? If so, what is your setup and how is it? I'm talking anything from sleeping in the back of your car all the way up to sleeping in a trailer (not...

I will be visiting Japan this winter, and will be spending roughly a week in Hokkaido (specifically Niseko/Rusutsu, though will be checking out Sapporo as well). Looking to meet up with anyone who will be traveling out there or (even better) who lives out there. Would love to have a buddy or...

Or do you tough it out? Personally, we have enough good days out west to where I don't have a need to ride in the rain the few times it does rain during the season. Inb4 some East Coasters chime in and tell me to suck it up: we all know the weather over there sucks, okay? **This thread was...

I need a modern version of these for reasons...

I have some great success with One Ball Jay Summer Slush Wax (added silicon/graphite) My buddy hates that stuff (says it wears off to fast) and swears by his "blend" of Wintersteiger yellow mixed with a Big Dick Graphite Block What waxes have you found work the best for the spring/summer...

As long as they still ski great and have plenty of days left on them, they can be pretty beat up. However, I would need the 181: the 175 and 187 are available to me, but just aren't for me **As long as they are ride-able, any condition is fine** Also, have a pair of 171 Black Crow Daemon's...

Did a bunch of "sidecountry" this year and wanted to start getting into backcountry. Due to the plethora of snow we received this year (Tahoe), many of the backcountry/avalanche courses are available well into May. The coverage (at least in most spots) should be there. So, would it be worth it...

Title says it all. My Moment Wildcats have become my dailies. I need a narrower ski to replace my other skis (Daemons) for the beginning of the season, icy mornings, and garbage snow days. Ski the Sierras and like to go all over the mountain. Have it narrowed down to these four, assuming...

Been riding on a pair of 171 Black Crow Daemons for a couple seasons now: have gotten a significant amount of use out of them, but still in decent shape (several expected topsheet scratches/dings; one base treatment done due to large scratch). Bought a pair of 184 Moment Wildcats this season to...

I have never water-skied before: I have inner-tubed and gone wake boarding, but that is the extent of my "boat sport" experience. But, I have the chance to go out on a wake boat a bunch with a friend this summer. So my question is: will water skiing help my snow ski technique? Do the skills and...

Discussion Time! What are some of your personal favorite "non-conventional" skis to use as an all-mountain (either by you or someone you've seen)? When talking about a conventional all-mountain, I suppose it would be somewhere in the 85-110 waste width (obviously varies by region), good at...

Hello! Have a friend that has had the same skis for years; just got back into skiing more this season and she wants to upgrade. She has been skiing on a pair of Dynamic VR7s 148 length (unsure what year) with Solomon C509 bindings and Solomon Symbio 500 boots (yes, we know it is pretty old...

Have a friend that wants to get into skiing (switch from snowboarding). The problem? The man is 6'8", 220 pounds, 28 years old: a beast. He currently boards all-mountain (especially trees, groomers, and light powder), so that would be the sort of ski hes looking for. Rides in the Sierras on a...

Some buddies and myself were supposed to go to Park City and Breckenridge over the winter but some things came up and we had to cancel. I find myself having a week of off time to play with, and with 5 free days at the CO/UT resorts left on my Epic Tahoe pass; and I saw the Breckenridge will...

What's everyone opinion on goggle expenditure? I have friends that swear by $200 pairs and I have friends that swear by $40 pairs. Do you think you can you get a budget pair of goggles in the $20 - $50 range that is comparable to a $100+ pair? If so, what are you sacrificing with the price...

Anyone gonna be up there watching? A few of my buddies and myself were gonna head that way for a day or two and do a mixture of skiing/watching the competition/drinking beers. If anyone will be up there or lives in the area and would like to join let me know! Dates are April 3rd to April 6th...

Hey everyone, I was browsing around at new boots and possibly and a backcountry setup, and was wondering if anyone had any experience or knowledge with Apex Ski Boots? How do they feel? How do they ski? Are they worth the hefty price tag, or are they just a gimmick...
