Hey, I'm driving cross country next week and hoping to check out Beartooth Basin on the way. Is there somewhere near the base I can pitch a tent?

Coming out to Jackson for the first time next week. Of course all I want to do is ride the steeps and get into the slackcountry, but the forecast is looking kind of sketchy. Should I bring my park skis in case conditions in the alpine go to shit? What's the setup like?

Me: 5ft10in, 165lbs What I want: A big mountain ski that charges steep open terrain, but is still skiable/fun in the trees. For skiing fast and hitting natural airs inbounds, and also to use as a slackcountry touring ski. This ski is to replace my 185 Armada JJs and will be mounted with...

I've been noticing more and more over the past year that everyone is putting a double slash in their video titles. Just skim through the videos listed on the homepage if you don't know what I'm talking about. I was watching videos on a whitewater kayaking site today and noticed it over there as...

It's been a long cold winter in the east. Our snow base is way above average and we still haven't hit consistent positive temperatures yet. However, my local hill/park is closing tomorrow. Nothing to do with a lack of snow, but purely because the day-ticket-buying public of Ontario does not know...

I've been following freeskiing for over 10 years, and I'm a grumpy old man who doesn't like it that so many of the athletes going to the first Olympics are young kids whose names I don't recognize. It would have been really great to see some of the founders and legends of freeski competition get...

Hey, I've made a last minute decision to head to Argentina and I need a touring binding. WTB Trackers or Guardians but no online retailer seems willing to ship them to Canada! Anyone selling or know of a place to order these to Canada?

no not ski patrol, actual cops riding with guns and looking to bust people for smoking weed. discuss. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/story/2013/02/12/calgary-rcmp-patrol-slopes.html?cmp=rss

anyone know how it compares to other skis? so tough to find good info on these things

I'm a bit confused as to which is the stiffer ski. Most of the threads ive searched here talk as if the Sight is stiffer, but according to the k2 website: " this ski is slightly more forgiving than the Recoil" I'm 5'10, 165lbs. like to send big jumps and rip the hill but also love to butter...

heres one for the whitewater dudes and dudettes on NS. "dude there was totally a girl at that kayaking party!" haha, could be said for a lot of skiing parties as well

I like the design concept of the antigen but almost noone has talked about riding them. Any opinions out there? also not sure what size to go with... 5'10, 170lbs, mostly for park and also freeriding on non-pow days. My ideal size would be around 180 so im not so stoked on the sizes being 176...

How do you decide whether or not to switch your old binding onto your new boards or buy something new? I've got a pair Rossi Axial 14s that I've been using for years. The heel pieces don't snap into place on their own anymore... I have to bend down and lift them up with my hand. But I have...

interesting webisodes from the North Face for those thinking of getting into the slack/backcountry this season

top notch journalism as usual! and the original video:

Apparently they stepped in to prevent the Utah Avalanche Center from shutting down before the end of the season due to lack of budget. http://unofficialnetworks.com/2011/04/16/backcountrycom-rescue/ I have nothing to do with backcountry.com, and have never been to utah, but that's the kind of...

The tail of my JJs started to delamminate, so I've taken them to the only shop around for repair. They told me it will take two weeks and be pretty expensive (exact price not yet quoted). I've never dealt with this problem before.. is that normal, or is this shop just shit? thanks for the...
