    My ski movie intro...

    how sad... replying to my own thread... just want to say, it really is worth looking at if you can - not blowing my own horn or anything, but our friends here really rip, it's some awesome footage, and the video editing isn't too bad either! ;-) life is simple, ski, surf, get out there and enjoy!

    Anyone go overseas?

    japan is highly under rated... the winter starts late november and we ski till may... almost every day during winter is a powder day... it just snows constantly, we usually get well over 4m... but having said that, we just finished our third and final season... then heading home for the winter...

    06 Bandit B2's

    this is what i have for this season, can't wait to get back to nz so i can try them out... i'm doing stage 1 this season as well... i got these instead of the mtx pro because the 75mm waist is better for nz snow (i have the big stix 106s for powder days)...

    Fischer Big Stix 106

    Just bought the 170cm Fischer Big Stix 106. Now that's a ski I won't get much out of back home in New Zealand. Skied on them in Niseko and they were pretty good in thigh deep powder. Anyone on anything seriously fat back home? A lot of Pocket Rockets around in Japan, seen only a couple of...

    something i noticed about rossi

    Yep, there is too much bitching on this site... go out and use some of that energy on something more productive... hey, go skiing, go get some fresh air... just stop complaining!!!!! Skiing is fun, we all like skiing, people ride different skis and like different skis, so lets leave it at...

    something i noticed about rossi

    but they had to send either the bc or the fs (one or the other) because both replaced the pow air and the pow air was supposed to be a slightly more all round ski... ******************************************************************************* I wish I could ski ALL the time in winter -...

    something i noticed about rossi

    i noticed in the latest issue of freeze that rossi have also signed kristi leskinen... anyways, if your weren't into brand recognition, then you wouldn't be too quick to judge an entire ski company as crap. personally, if i ride the ski and i like it, that's the most important thing. so, have...

    Best binding out there for jibbing....

    well, if anyone has ever looked twice, they will see that look pivot bindings are identical to rossignol axial bindings... owned by the same company (i think). also, the only difference between most of these bindings is the din setting and maybe a plate... anyway, I have rossi axial bindings...

    rossi pow' airs

    sorry, love them too much, plus it would be pretty expensive to ship them from Japan anyway, which is where i am at the moment. i apologise for getting your hopes up!!!!! I wish I could ski ALL the time in winter - instead of just most of the time...

    migration

    no one has replied to your thread, jared - so i'll just update what you said. the winter here in japan has just finished now, so we have to wait another six months before it starts again (it didn't feel like 6 months of skiing...). The powder rocked but the spring skiing (and hence tables etc)...

    ok new zealanders...

    Oops, I forgot, Turoa has a pretty good terrain park though (except for the halfpipe which was only ever decent when they were having a snowboard contest but otherwise they would let it fall apart - but that may have changed) I wish I could ski ALL the time in winter - instead of just most of...

    ok new zealanders...

    It's sad but true, Ruapehu isn't that flash... weather is always crap and if you go for a weekend, you're usually lucky if you get one day. But all that aside, spring skiing is pretty good with heaps of backcountry to explore (especially out either side of Turoa), but I really would stick with...

    rossi pow' airs

    How short is short - mine are 158s with rossi axial bindings, they're a great all round ski for me since i'm fairly short and light. you don't see many around though, in Japan, plenty of people have the moguls that look the same. I wish I could ski ALL the time in winter - instead of just most...
