    Heated Socks

    I'm over it. I live in a very cold place and I hate skiing with cold feet. Most of the heated socks options are $500CAD. This seems a bit insane to me today when battery run gizmos are better and cheaper than ever. That said, has anyone tried the cheap options available on Amazon? They are...

    Finally Snow in the forecast

    Big 3 storm system rolling in. Will bring cold air and a lot of snow to most of the west and will continue through and deliver freezing temps and snow to the entire continent. PNW & CA will get pounded (apparently) with bachelor getting 7-8 feet.

    Tell me about a Midwest, Finland, or other COLD places

    So, I live in the Canadian rockies. It's rad here. We have big mountains, prerty good parks, OK snow, and pretty gnarly terrain. Whatever. It is about to get really goddamn cold for the forseeable forecast. Around -40. That happens once or twice a season. It's about to get so goddamn cold that...

    Year Filter for Top Rated Videos

    Does everyone think a "year" filter for top rated videos would be incredibly useful? It would be great to look at the best edits of the past season just before we dip into another one. I feel like a lot of people miss videos when you can only filter from 30 days or all time. That seems like a...

    I love Skiing. I love this shit.

    I've been skiing for a long, long time. I'm in my 30s and a long, long time member of newschoolers and an OG newschool/whatever skier. I love this shit. I bought a pair of orange 1080s around 2000 in Nova Scotia. Skiing has been a pretty big part of my life ever since. I've spent dedicated...

    Free pair of used Surface No Times with rossi pivots.

    Hey guys, I'm cleaning house and would like to get rid of a pair of Surface No Times I have kicking around. I think they're from 2011, the Anthony Boronowski graphic. They're 172 and mounted for a 25.5 Salomon Ghost/Shogun boot which has a BSL of 295 I believe. They are missing about 20cm of...

    JP Auclair - Totally Sweet Backflip Mutes

    Hey JP, This is probably the dopest trick ever. I'm serious. This is probably the best trick in skiing. Can you do a really cool one this season? It can be on a cool park jump, a ball clenching cliff, or over a street in Rossland. You're the best at these, and they're the best trick. I live in...

    Things You Haven't Seen In A While

    What are some things you haven't seen at the hill in a few years? I can't remember the last time I saw someone in the terrain park with those bent racing poles. The bandana out the back pocket has been absent for years.

    Emergency Packing Help

    Hey Newschoolers, It's 2AM and I've got a flight at 8AM. I'm leaving my house to work for two months on a research vessel on the ocean. After the work, I'll be dumped in either Seattle, Vancouver, Prince Rupert or Alaska. After that, I'll be a free man with some cash to go skiing. The problem...

    So Far, Ski Movie Music Doesn't Suck This Year

    It's 8 PM on the Friday of IF3. The Monument National Theatre in downtown Montreal is currently jammed with tall-tee wearin' white dudes watching the hottest ski flick of the season. Ski movie season is go. I've seen most of the early releases this year. I've seen Mutiny, The Wallisch Project...

    Hot Dog: The Movie

    This is the greatest ski "movie" ever. If you think Aspen Extreme is better, you're opinion is wrong, scientifically. Hot Dog follows the typical formula for an 80s teen sex comedy set in a ski town. Some dude (Harkin Banks) moves to a ski town. He's a good skier and meets some outcast party...

    Uniforms in the 2014 Olympics

    I was reading Bishop's thread about style in the Olympics. Big surprise, a few members started arguing about wearing tall tees in the Olympics. Or something like that. Anyway, that got me thinking, won't mostly everyone be wearing uniforms? Every other ski discipline that I can think of has...

    What movie was that...

    So, I've seen a ton of ski movies. Almost of all of them. Do you ever remember a certain song, trick, or feature but not the movie itself? Yeah, me too. Well, what movie has a bunch of Armada riders riding sleds and attacking pillow lines to Depeche Mode's "Dream On"? I'm pretty sure it was...

    Sunshine Park this Spring

    So, it's kind of a given that sunshine has been on a downward slide the past few years. I've heard it's pretty brutal this year but could you guys tell me what they've got going right now? I'm going to be in Banff for the last few weeks of the season and would like to manage my expectations...
