    Difference between "core" and "successful" companies?

    I'm having a hard time trying to explain the difference between a brand or shop that is "core" one one that is just smaller or starting out. What makes a brand or shop core? Just because they get successful, why are they all of a sudden no longer core? Discuss.

    Health Insurance While Skiing Abroad

    What do you do to prepare yourself for a hospital visit while you go skiing in a different country? Are you subject to the same coverage as citizens of that country? If they have free healthcare, does that apply to tourists?

    Best PUBLIC Spring/Early Summer Parks

    I'm too old and too poor for a camp, but where can I go for the best park in May or June? And what's cheapest (aka doesn't require renting a car)? Mt Hood Meadows? Timberline? Wait until later in the summer and go to Chile? There is too much info on camps and not enough on public park conditions...

    Making Jibs in the Woods

    Anyone ever made a jib or turned a tree into a rail in the glades? Is it worth it or is it possible to hike up one day in the summer, find a decent sized sapling, and bend that shit over to make an awesome rainbow rail for next winter?

    Design a Topsheet (Snowboard) - $2,500 prize

    Thought there might be some interest in this contest that Burton is running until the end of the month. I know it's snowboard related, but money is money. I was lucky enough to have the chance to design a topsheet for a snowboard that I have and will never use, and it's an awesome feeling...

    If anyone can draw a mock-up of a design I want, I will give you a free pair of brand new Electric goggles. If you don't want goggles, I can give you a t-shirt. Or a beanie. Maybe gloves.

    Who else makes $15 / hr?

    I'm college educated person and in a job in which I use my degree. And I'm only getting paid $15 an hour. Janitors at McDonalds start at 10, so I want to know what kinds of shitty jobs are equivalent so I can gage how hard I work vs. how hard I should be working for such shitty pay.

    Cable-pulled skiing on flat ground (System 2.0)

    So maybe this isn't new, but I have never seen this before. You know how sometimes wakeboarders/wakeskaters have a cable pulling them down a river instead of a boat? Well this is the same concept, but for skiers and snowboarders. While the idea is pretty rad, the execution blows. Holding onto a...

    Finding a Match for a Zipper?

    Does anyone know how to go about finding the other side of a zipper that I already have? One side of the zippers on my hoodie is busted, and I really want to find a zipper that I can attach to that side that will fit into the still-working side.

    Eight-Oh-Who?

    Ok this is a very hard question and I'd be very surprised/pleased if anyone knew the answer. You know the snowboard shop 802? Does anyone remember who it was that made the shirts (or stickers) saying "Eight Oh Who?" I want to say it was Darkside, but I can't remember for sure. This was only a...

    Where is the biggest jump in the world right now?

    Title says it all. Where is the biggest jump in the world right now open to regular skiers (who either paid for a camp or are just cruising the public parks)? It's a little late in the season for the big booters to be up in Whistler, and a little early for the big parks to be built in New...

    Picture of Stowe/Mansfield

    I'm looking for a picture of Stowe (more accurately, Mt. Mansfield), as seen from Burlington. As I remember from my time living in Burlington, it is a very nice sight, especially during the snow-capped winter months. Someone must have photographed it then! Anyone? This is a nice one, but I'm...
