after smoothing some things out the website is building some decent content with fun trip reports, recipes and gear reviews to keep you occupied for at least 5 - 6 minutes, and soon I will be adding more ski reviews and am looking for fun ski gear reviews from anyone who has photos and the ability to write about interesting products that ns.com probably has little real knowledge about.

might do a few more things with the saga, trew, ldc suits before i decide what to do with them. thanks for the support, this site deffenately spawned from interest over here and sorry there is not a ton of content yet, but like alot of skiers i have multiple jobs, and in my free time i like to be real lazy.

and if you guys have any ideas about anything they always help.

Awesome site. I liked your review on the Prophet 90. Skied the Prophet 100 a week ago and now I want to buy the 90- pity i'm totally broke. I've been doing lots of demos over here in NZ in less than ideal conditions so might have some reviews to add on skis ppl on NS don't ski much like Gotamas, Shogun, Prophet 100, and s3's.
 
Overall, pretty decent. I guess I just have a couple of suggestions.

1. Not necessarily bad, but I guess just naming off certain runs at your mountain doesn't help people much unless they know the area. So try to just generalize the conditions or slope for your ski tests so people will know they can handle a steep mogul run not "it can fucking rip fucking ripcord!" I know that might mean something to everyone that skis where you do, but to me it doesn't give me any reference.

2. Try not to cuss and use childish language, it takes a lot away from how professional you are trying to make these reviews sound. Like saying you didn't see any chips or anything "poopy" on the topsheets of the BG's just sounds like something a five year old would say and somewhat discredits the rest of your review.

Other than that, keep it up and I think you have a pretty decent site started.
 
And just to clarify, in no way was I trying to bash your site, I just think it would be just that much better with a couple tweaks.

Overall, very well done, it is nice to see some solid reviews of gear and not just "i like saga cuz it matches my tammy wamstick boots". So keep it up dude, loving all the awesome pics and trip stuff on the as well.
 
thanks wazzu

the BG's review is from no steeze, i tried to leave it as intact as possible, but you are right i have to mediate.

id like to keep building and maybe have a big site one day with like forums, and where members can post photos and talk about skiing news. i think that would be super original!

but seriously maybe some day alot more will be goin down.
 
sweet, hey i am glad you could take that without me sounding like i was hating on your site. but yeah man, honestly it is great to have a site like that where people can give honest reviews of stuff. i would totally be down to help provide some reviews if you like i get to ski on quite a few different sticks working at a shop, so let me know.

but yeah man, stoked on the site and i am sure this season it will be going places for sure. PROPS
