    Völkl sizing

    I am looking to buy a pair of park skis and the only ones I’ve found readily available online in a longer length is a Völkl bash in 180. It has been over a decade since I looked at a Völkl ski but last time I did, Völkl twin tips measured around 5 cm shorter than other brands with the same...

    What Hood based camp for an old man?

    I have been going to High North and then Momentum for the last 8 or 9 years. I will go again this year but it looks like I will have a lot of time off this summer as I change jobs. I was thinking of hitting Hood after the Whistler glacier closes but I don't know anything about the camps there...

    Avalanche POV

    Since many of you are going into the BC or aspire to, I would like to share my experience of what happens when things go wrong. Here is a POV video edit of me in an avalanche while skiing in Alaska with some lessons in the use of emergency equipment. Stay safe!

    Any old farts going to ski camp this summer?

    I just got back from my annual Valdez ski trip and my thoughts are now turning to park camp (especially after being slid 2000ft in a big slide). I am thinking session 3 momentum as it fits my work schedule best. Anyone else of drinking age thinking of going? Here is my TR from last year if...

    It finally happened

    After 6 years of going to ski camp (High North for 3 years and Momentum for 3) and 8 sessions, I am now, for the first time the oldest camper (34). Indeed, even with Momentum running a mogul camp, I am the only "adult" (as measured by drinking age which is 19 or older in BC). Aren't there any...

    Does anyone know where I can get sunice outerwear?

    I like the idea of goretex that isn't tight fitting (like the mountaineering companies) and is focussed on skiing not snowboarding. Anyway, I wore sunince back when I was a kid in the 80's. Their web page doesn't list any distributors and I can't find any on-line distributors on the net. Thanks.

    Volkl Wall mounting point

    I just bought the Wall online and notice that, like many modern skis, it has a "boot centre" and a "true centre" indication for mounting on the ski. I thought that the ski was symmetric and boot and true center werer one and the same? Where am I supposed to mount these? Thanks

    Tramoline newb question

    I just bought a house with a big enough yard to put in a trampoline. I want it for trying to learn inverts and might even put de-edged skis on it to practice grabs. I also need one that can at least take me, and I am 200lbs. I was thinking about 3m by 2m. Do I need a bigger one? Is a...

    Anthems available outside the US

    For anyone that cares, I was just out shopping in the "ski shopping district" in tokyo and lots of shops were stocked with the Line Anthems. It is probably expensive to try and order these skis from Japan but it suggests that Kiss's lawsuit may only apply to the US and, if you are desperate to...

    "natural" leg fwd for sliding rails question

    I am relatively new to sliding rails etc. When I first started, I didn't know which side was "natural" so I picked right leg fwd and went with it. Having recently been on a skateboard for the first time, however, I find it a LOT easier to ride left foot fwd. Does this suggest my "natural"...
