Anyone know of any pond / lake skims accessible from Calgary? So Lake Louise / Sunshine areas etc.. Something I'd really like to try to tick off this summer! Cheers.

ignore the shameless attempted self plug lol, I know the riding is nothing special aha. This came up on my memories from a little edit I made. Swipe right for the video. https://www.instagram.com/p/BxVdqjGjTSk/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==...

Is there a way to turn of alert notifications when someone posts on a thread you made? I made the video games thread which turned out to be a mistake because i get several alerts every day which I dgaf about really. I basically want to unsubscribe from that thread?

I hate my life. My Dad passed away from cancer back in June, and I'm living at home with my Mum. Not cool when you're nearly 30. The state of the UK is fucked at the moment, house prices and energy bills are astronomical so it makes no financial sense to move out for the foreseeable. Would...

I'm British and personally I think this place is a shit hole. I recognise the US has its fair share of issues, which we don't need to go into, but I'd still emigrate in a heartbeat if I could - not just for the skiing, which is obviously a massive factor - but also for the views, the...

Anyone else getting this blue box sitting straight over the play/pause button on videos uploaded to the site? Does my head in. How do I get rid of it? It doesn't appear on embedded videos, just ones uploaded to NS.

Just finished The Last of Us 2. One of the best games I've ever played. It lacks the intricate story-telling from the first game, but makes up for it in the environment design, insane graphics and fantastic soundtrack. Not sure what to move on to next. What's everyone else playing right now?

I strained my MCL back in March (confirmed by my Doc) and it's still doing my head in. INot painful as such anymore, but just the odd twinge here and there but it's been months now and it's still bothering me. Seems to be worst in the morning when it's tightened up overnight. Cycling seems to...

3 trips around the sun since I became a member. Here's some thoughts 846 posts- Almost as many posts as Dolan makes in a week 32,170 Karma, still don't know how that works 3 years of wondering why skierman is the way that he is 3 seasons of not getting any better at skiing park Some...

Can anyone with actual first hand experience with the First Chair 10's (or with the 12 tongue) tell me if they're stiff enough for skiing hard in the deepest of pow days. I've got 110flex Nordica's and I'm longggg due and upgrade- my skiing has advanced massively since buying those and I hate...

So as predicted, our resort shut yesterday. I'm now officially unemployed and broke in a foreign country. Thankfully it's Canada, probably the most beautiful country in the world- so there's worst places to be stranded. But right now there's about 200 people looking for a job in a small BC town...

I've fucked myself up pretty badly over the years, broken collarbone, broken wrist and broken neck all within the last 5 years to say the least. But over my life I've been pretty fortunate to never suffer from any serious lower body injuries. Last week however I think I strained my MCL, so...

So this is actually regarding DH mountain biking but it definitely applies to skiing too... I fractured my neck C4&5 along with my T1 in Canada in September, on a stupid drop with not enough speed. Flew over the handlebars and landed on my head. Full on Jerry of the day stuff. Luckily for me I...

First time in my life I'm committed to purchasing actual properly-fitted boots. I've always had issues with sizing and packing-out, which severely effects my skiing, but that's because I've never been to a proper fitter. I've got my heart set on the FT first chair 10s and if I'm gonna drop that...

once saw someone do a switch front flip off a lip onto a box. It was a 60 second insta video with a few attempts at the beginning before finally nailing it at the end. Anyone know who this was? Thanks

I moved to Canada in June last year on a 2 year work visa. Started work at Panorama BC to work as a lifty in the bike park. Had an absolute fucking blast and progressed so much, until I basically exploded my wrist in a big crash whilst practicing for a DH race. So that cut my summer short by...

Yo guys, I'm planning on skiing Hood later this month. https://www.newschoolers.com/forum/thread/464739/Can-someone-tell-me-about-camping-hood- Is any of the info in this thread still correct? Did a bit of research and seems Trillium campground isn't open til summer. Can I just pull my car...

Up until a few days ago I've always thought skiers without poles looked daft af. However, I went to Calgary Olympic Park a couple of days ago and accidently forgot mine, so I rode the park for a day without them. And I gotta say, I've been turned. Everything just felt soooo much cleaner, and...

Now I'm not at the point where I'm gonna name & shame, but I'm not far from it. So, the edges have started to split from the sidewall underneath the heel piece on one of my skis. The skis haven't been ridden much and have certainly never hit a box or rails, so it's not damage caused by myself...

Whenever I land switch, even off the small-medium kickers in the park, it feels like I'm landing from a 60ft XL kicker, like I hit the landing soo damn hard. My rotation is pretty good... Any ideas/tips? Wtf am I doing wrong?
