    Torn ACL, LCL, mensiscus - anyone else?

    Whatup NS. Got the MRI results and found I fully tore my ACL, tore my mensicus in 3 places, tore my LCL, and have an avulsion fracture of my tibial plateau. Overshot a jump at whistler a few weeks ago and overrotated a 3 and basically landed deep at 450 and blew up on landing. Waiting to meet...

    Replies to older threads don't bump the thread.

    This has happened to me numerous times lately. Maybe I'm the only who googles "phrase or word, site: newschoolers.com" and then clicks the link to an NS thread. just now for instance I did that, then replied to the thread, which shows it is in Ski Gabber. But after my reply which posts...

    Slim to None - Keegan Kilbride

    Haven't seen a thread on this yet, has anyone watched it!? How is it? After some of Keegan's shots in eat the guts I can't wait to see what he put into this projec. Such a sick style and so dialed in the streets. I think there is some pow in this video too? I plan on buying and watching this...

    Pocket sized camcorders

    I'm looking to grab something cheap, pocket size, optical zoom, stabilization, to toss around this season for the homies to film eachother. We always talk about filming, but I never want to bring out my whole kit and be the one to carry a backpack with body + lenses etc. I've bee considering...

    Go-to ski wax?

    I need a new brick! I ski at whistler 90% of the time, temps are relatively warm out here and often variable from the top of the mtn to the bottom. What do you recommend? Any go to sites that stock it? Not a fan of my local shop.

    Blocking members

    Is there a way to block members and not see their thread replies? It would be a beautiful thing to not read another one of skiermans thread replies ?

    Travis Heed in Wicked

    Searchbarred his name and didn't find any threads. But damn was thinking about this edit today and gave it a watch, so sick. Add him to the list of skiers hitting tricks and style that were before their time. This seg came out in 2004.

    Magnetic lensed goggles?

    Who's been rocking goggles with magnetic goggles? I've been using Smith I/Os for 10+ years, but with the mandatory facemask rules in effect at Whistler (and everywhere else) I've been jealous of those who can easily pop their lens out when they get into the lift line to avoid fogging up. There...

    Help me fix my 360's

    Remember when you learned how to 360?? Yeah me neither. I'm an old dog now at 28, and I'm not sure when but at some point my threes started looking like absolute trash. Check these clips from yesterday / early season and look at what I do with my arms. How can I remedy this? Pop harder and lead...

    Armada Edollo Mounting point?

    This will mainly be ridden on lower snow days / no snow days at whistler, but won't exclusively be used in the park. A lot of the people i ride with don't ride park any more, so there will be some pow runs and tree runs being had as well. I have pow skis I will be riding 90% of the time...

    Whistler (Blackcomb) XL Jump line

    Does anyone have photos or videos from past seasons that really show the monstrosity of this jump line? I haven't found anything yet. Trying to show a friend. Here is said friend sending a massive front flip yesterday on the "big" jump that is up right now...

    Cults, Content creators

    Wow, surely I'm late AF to the party but only just now did I realize that NS Cults no longer exist? Any big reasoning behind that? Definitely enjoyed those in my younger years here. Also just seeing the 'content creators' threads, how long has that been around?! I still just dabble in ski gabber...

    Best online ski stores in Canada

    There used to be a great thread on this in the last 6 months but I searched through my threads and couldn't find it. Corbetts is a good one (lots of sick clearance deals in the past), Monod sports, what else? I'm about to buy Armada JJ UL + Armada Shift bindings which is gonna be expensive AF...

    Why does Rockstar make their athletes post cringe

    You all know what I’m referring to. Why do you think they go the route of such forced content for their athletes? Do you think it works? Inb4 one of you say “well any press is good press” or “well look you’re talking about them right now” whenever I see their athletes post such god awful posts...

    Pivot 12's vs Attack 13's?

    Just got a new pair of edollos. Haven't had new skis in ages. Never ridden attacks, and only have a pair of ollddddd as pivots from late 90's that ended up fucking up. Pivot 12's are $180 and Attack 13's are $160 (cad). What binding would you get? I feel like the pivots may be a bit heavier...

    “ NO, SKIING ISN’T A WELCOME PLACE FOR PEOPLE OF COLOR”

    Has anyone else read this article? A good read and something to reflect on. Interesting reading the authors comments on the “gangster” era 2007-2011ish in skiing. https://www.powder.com/stories/no-skiing-isnt-a-welcome-place-for-people-of-color-yet/ thoughts?
