    Cypress Mountain?

    Going to Vancouver for a short trip after Christmas, Cypress Mountain and Whistler are my two options. I already went to Whistler in March, so I'm definitely more inclined to check out Cypress Mountain, especially since tickets are less than half the price of Whistler's. Place looks gorgeous...

    Pass pulled, fuck vail

    got my pass pulled tonight by some asshole higher up that saw me duck a rope to get out of the park and catch up with my friends. 9pm on a wednesday night, not a person in sight, i’m not ducking a boundary rope; i don’t see how that justifies pulling my pass. genuinely didn’t know ducking a rope...

    Mounting a light on my helmet?

    i had this idea after night skiing last night to mount an old picatinny rail on the side of my helmet so i can attach a flashlight to it, since i don’t really have any use for either. should i be worried about damaging my helmet or like reducing its effectiveness in the case that i take a hard...

    Is a soft padded ski bag enough for air travel?

    I've got this padded Dakine bag that I'll link below, I'm wondering if it's enough protection for my skis if I throw in some clothes to fill up the extra space inside, or if I absolutely need a roller bag...

    Boot modification or a fitted for a new pair?

    so I bought a pair of salomon s/max 120's around three years ago without getting fitted, which I realized was a big mistake and went to get my liner heat molded to see if it would help. things went well for a while, but my feet started hurting again towards the end of last season. now i'm...

    How often do you guys buy new gear?

    I’ve thought about asking this almost every time i’ve bought new gear, but was always too lazy to ask until now. how often do you guys buy new pants, jackets, goggles, etc.? my parents covered my entire set up when I first started a few years ago, but they always guilt trip me whenever i buy a...

    Biking guard vs sleeve

    for the people who mountain bike, what’s the difference and is one better than the other? from what i can see and assume, sleeves are just padding over the joint area and guards seem to have a bit of hard covering over the padding, is that right?

    Help me choose a washington resort

    For the amount of times I've been to Snoqualmie, I've never actually ridden at Alpental before. What's the terrain like? I had an Ikon this year and really only skied at Crystal, and I grew to really love the flow of the trails, if that makes sense. Having long runs all the way down the mountain...

    Avalanche prone area

    it was a crazy pow day at my local mountain today and i thought it’d be a good opportunity to try some of the harder runs at the top of the mountain that i hadn’t been on before. things went well and it was great, got pow all over my face, but i wanted to ask and potentially get more educated on...

    I just can't get the hang of park skiing

    I don't wanna sound like a little bitch with this thread, and I hope I don't make it too long either, but I just don't really know what I'm doing wrong. I also have no idea how to really progress. I started skiing about two years ago, this being my second season, and I remember having trouble...

    Honey badger, tw pro, or chronic

    i’m looking to start riding more park and i’m seeing discounts on all three of these, wondering which ones to get. ideally i’d be jibbing maybe 30% and hitting jumps 70%. i want something soft enough to butter but not so soft that it can’t hold its edge or pop a quick ollie. i don’t even know if...

    Armada arv’s and other cheaper park skis

    saw arv 86s on sale for $320 on evo and i’m considering getting them, but i wanted to ask around first to see if they’ll let me ride how i want. i like to rip groomers a lot and the two pairs of skis i’ve got are mindbender 90ti’s and blades, but recently i’ve been spending a lot more time...
