I'm looking for the best waterproof hiking boots that will do a decent job of keeping me warm this winter. I'm thinking LL bean boots because I've read they last forever, but I'm also probably being influenced by their marketing so I'd like to hear everyone's opinions *I know this could've gone...

I'm looking for a solid, beginner-oriented hardtail bike under $1,000. I've borrowed or rented bikes before, including full suspension bikes, but I want to buy a good one that will last me awhile. Obviously, at this price point, I won't get the most durable bike, but I'll settle for a solid...

Can we discuss how this season, while great in many respects, was also the season of children deciding they were gonna ski on grass just for the hell of it and fucking up their skis? I mean at my mountain we had kids skiing over rocks and bricks n stuff just to be like candide thovex wtf

Im gonna do it

Season is starting up with 4 inches of snow still covering the fields. Oh well. Anyone play?

Anyone ever bought from them? Know if they're reliable?

Yo so I know some racers are chill right but okay the racers at my mountain are ridiculous and here's why Y'know how when you get in line, there's like 3 lines, right? A quad line, another whatever-the-hell-that-is line, and a singles line. And so the singles just line up and hang out and get...

I snagged a cheap pair of new ft classics at the end of last season, and loved them during spring. However, now that winter's in (almost) full swing and I'm hucking big stuff again I just... don't like them. I can't quite place it but I just don't feel like I have any control. I'm an aggressive...

Seriously, what the fuck do the little bars mean? Forgive me, but as someone moderately new to NS, I've dedicated a lot of time to figuring out the review system (aka how do the blue and orange bars work) and usually find that people use them differently. I was hoping someone could clarify...

This is my first season riding full tilt classics, and as a hard-charging skier I want a stiffer tongue flex. I've also been feeling that the boots aren't very snug around my shins, and wanted to fix that. So I have two questions: 1. My tongues have a flex of 6; what flex should I move up to...

I spend maybe 5 days in the park per season, but I need a shitty ski to do urban and park when I need it. Honestly don't care too much about their condition, but they gotta be longer than 170 cm and I would prefer bindings included. Whatever shitty, core shot skis you thought you couldn't get...

If carbon emissions are not cut dramatically, the next century could really suck for skiers. If the predicted 1-3 degrees celsius increase in global temperature occurs, then snow would become more or less nonexistent- hell, even the arctic would be ice free (during the summer) by mid-century...

either way, I'm gonna be a virgin for all of high school. I can't do both, but I'd be varsity for cross country next year, and I could also be getting leads in the musical. So what do I do?

In a few weeks I'm getting some cheap used twin tips and customizing the graphics for the hell of it. Thanks to cydwhit's tutorial I know how to make them, but I need your opinions on what design to go with- I've narrowed it down to these three. They're fairly rough and I was limited in color...

I picked up a pair of 2014 Line Masterminds with bindings included for $100 and I'm gonna use them as kicking around skis that I can really just rip up. The issue is that they're 157 cm, and I'm 5'11''. So it's gonna be a fun little challenge to see if I can ride on them. Anyone have any tips...

I was running today and found this gem of a spot to set up a backcountry-style kicker. The pitch isn't particularly steep but it's enough to be get up speed. Basically, anyone in the Boston area could probably get here pretty easily once the snow starts falling, so if you're in the area and...

Sunday River has been my home mountain for two years and I'm trying to find more off the map shit to ski. This thread is out here to share lines and trails with other sunday river regulars or visitors. So far, I've done Spruce Cliffs, Dorothy (post-blizzard, it sucked), Tumbledown, and a few...

Hi all, I'm an advanced all-mountain skier who's looking to get into some more park, and I've pretty much decided on the K2 Shreditors. I just have a few questions: 1. Should I go for the 92's or the 102's, for waist width? Since I ski at Sunday River, ME, I'm inclined to lean towards...
