Sorry, just a rant. But when ordering, brake width selection was not possible - store wrote they would chose it based on ski width. Now they mounted 95 mm brakes on a 102 mm ski when the brakes are available in 110 mm too... The brakes are so tight that the skis cannot be "clicked" together. I...

Hi all, I purchased some skis for my gf, Volkl Yumi 80. They were mounted with Warden 11s. The toe-piece of the Warden 11 is almost as wide as the ski, but there is a small gap on each side. The binding is approximately 0,75 mm off center. While this is not a lot, it just becomes very visible...

Hey folks, Studying abroad for a few months and I thought about getting some proper boots fitted while I am here. Any recommendations within driving distance of San Francisco? Or am I too far away from the mountains and the shops? Thanks in advance!

Heya Newschoolers. I am getting pretty salty everytime a local store in my green flat nation charges me way too much for simply having my two skis waxed, and when i ask them to leave the wax on the bases, they still manage to scrape it off for some reason. SO, THE TIME HAS COME! Better spend a...

Hey Newschoolers. Last season i did myself the favor of paying for a good boot fitted by a reputable bootfitter, what an experience! Respect these people, they know what they are doing! I had them made towards the end of the season. They were a little bit small compared to my older boots (43...

Hey Newschoolers. I recently received a new ski (gs, but not a LAB model, just stiff recreational gs). My buddy has done quite a bit of tuning now, and wanted to help me out, so together we set the base edge to .5 and kept the side edge at 2. At one or two spots the file couldn't reach let's...

Heya NS'ers. Today i had a minor fall when doing a 360 in the off piste. Skis came off, everything was good until I saw that the AFD/Slider/Runner etc. had fallen off. Is this easy for most shops to fix? I'm quite far away from where I bought the skis and I want to ride them again soon :)...

Heya NS'ers. My brand new skis just arrived with sth2s mounted, and a manual came along for adjusting the wings and AFD height or so. Is this an easy do it yourself job, or do i want to visit a shop? Thanks in advantage!

Heya NS'ers. Do you have any experiences with the M2? Lens quality? Especially how the bad weather lens perform? Maybe compared to oakley? Thanks thanks thanks.

Hey NS'ers. I'm buying a pair of Rossi soul 7's, and was wondering if i should go for the WTR 13 or 16, as the prices are the same. I know the WTR 16 has more metal in it, but it's also heavier. Im 6'5 and around 165 pounds. I don't want to lose the ski nor break a leg. My everyday din is 7-8...

Hey Newschoolers. First of all, i'm sorry for asking the famous "what bindings" question again, but i did search etc. etc. and i did read through many discussions about whether or not the FKS/Pivot's are overhyped or not - And i hope i won't start yet another one. I can ski any piste, but i am...

Hey folks. I'm skiing this entire season in the french alps, and i got an osprey bag with room for a water reservoir. Anything to look out for really, or is it just about buying the first one i see? Do they never break if i happen to land on the bag? Also, i hate it, but whatever glove i wear...

Heya NewSchoolers. So today i finally went to pick up my frontside skis (Elan 82 xti). I got them very cheap with the bindings included, mounted etc. from our sister company. I just realised they have one tiny scratch on the topsheet around the thick area, where a small spot of plastic is...

Hey people. I tried using the search button without major success. I currently ride a pair of Fischer Fuse 9 (vacuum) and i plan on taking them with me all over the mountain for the next 6 months. They fit snug and nicely and they threat my feet well (never had pain issues in them). My local...

Hey. I know i'm just one of many asking for ski advice, but i will give it a go anyways. At first i thought i would be getting an all mountain ski that i could bring all over the mountain, but a friend of mine and my local dealer strongly recommended a 2 ski quiver. Luckily, our sister-company...
