_Jeffrey_I'm so tired of living not near the ski area. It's a two hour drive to up and a two hour drive back home depending on traffic and such. I'm jealous of all of y'all that are within less than an hour to your local ski area
Anyone in slc want money or beer for filming me? Never get filmed while other homies are, roommate would but never seems to work out with work or laziness.

Hey sure. I’m there almost every weekend, but also have no camera or real experience.
BigPurpleSkiSuitEven the ones today are made to look retro often. Can you give me an example of what you're talking about?
The fucking stupid american flag ones, the "I'm clearly from LA and ski a weekend a year in my golden shiny onesie" onesies, and then just the people maybe, they're literally all Jerry's who cant ski with maybe 2 or 3 with one on who can.
Young_IPMCI have runner’s knee. I saw a specialist and they basically recommended the following:
If you google the exercises for runner’s knee, they help quite a bit. When it acts up to an unbearable level, an NSAID is also good.
They said I could ski through the pain, but making sure my form is good in powder prevented most of it from coming back.
Yeah..I was basically told the same as well. Thanks I appreciate it!
RparrI am convinced that this is responsible for the vast majority of knee pain for skiers that don't have an actual acute knee injury:
Basically your cartiledge is probably shit. Mine has been like this for a few years. I wish I had an answer for it
Yeah I have a displaced patella that rubs on bone spurs from a fracture I had during my ACL tear. Does yours grind? Like when you fully extend your knee, do you get a grinding sound?
ACID_Smoke chron
It actually makes me extremely aware of my knee pain. Like I get hyper sensitivity or something. Maybe it's the strain or something but I don't know enough about weed to validate that haha
.MASSHOLE.Anyone know what the extended forecast for LCC is? Headed out there for work next Tuesday-Thursday.
Pretty clear till then, some high pressure and maybe some action on the 23rd....No signs of patterns like we just had till march. Lots of sun and hardpack but i fuckin love bluebird hauling-ass days at snowbird.
Im blown away by how much snow utah has. We're almost entirely above-average in terms of snowpack everywhere so coverage isnt a problem anymore...Lots of good lines are filled in too so its niceee.
I wanna pimp my parents out with new gear but always strapped for cash. I kinda feel bad, my dads been in the same boots he got on our first ever ski trip out west to Colorado but this was when I was about 6 and I'm now 23 so he needs some help

Save up and get them fitted at level 9 for way cheaper. Whenever my textbooks get sold I’m headed there.

Aww, I was hoping for some more big weather patterns. My former-annual JH trip was a no-go this year and the week I usually went they got 4ish feet :|. Seems like I missed the big UT storms by 2 weeks this year.
Still, should be better than last year (and free) so I can't complain.
safarisamBoyfriend has his third knee surgery in two years today.
Vibes. My wife had an MRI on Monday. She's already had two full ACL replacements on the other leg. Rough for us too especially right after the surgery if you have to be the only one with them.

Oof that’s rough. This is his third meniscus repair, think they’re taking it out this time, he doesn’t want his ACL touched at all— which is not a good idea but whatever he wants.
Unreal fucking day, forecast called for clouds and snow showers but was bluebird and just ripped all day with good homies, Friday should hopefully be just as nice.

You never know, dude. This last train of storms were blessings and there are still clouds lingering dropping some snow showers down on some spots, plus this is the time of year where sleeper days can happen too. But sunshine, cold beers, walk-on chairs, and hauling ass aren't bad options either.
Poor Candide. He finally makes a ladies candide version. Immediately:
Why is it pink? Isnt that sexist? Gender bias much?
What do you ladies think of the whole pink it and shrink it? It's not like he advertises the candide series as strictly for men, you can always go buy a pair of those if you dont like pink.

Should have just said hey everyone here is a new limited edition graphic of the 2.0. Saying "for you ladies" was totally unnecessary.
Go to wax my skis at work, see base splitting underfoot with an edge crack, epoxy was a shitshow clamping a split edge back together while clamping the base together. Had to pull the trigger but got a nice hookup on some arv 86s, just hope the edges aren't as fucked after 2 months like my 96s, armada just beef the edges up again like last years.

Haha what the fuck, they make a women’s specific ski, and people are complaining because it’s “gender biased”. Just buy a pair of men’s skis if you don’t want to be riding a pink pair of skis. I think there’s bigger things to worry about than a tiny pink stripe on a pair of skis. Boo hoo
I’m sure if they made it look like their men’s skis there would be an uproar about it not being feminine enough.

Do you have a picture of em? Pink skis would be dope
The beef faction is getting from the lady skiers is fucking hilarious, like really a 70% white ski with pink letters and stripes is a fucking big deal? K2 has women skis with pink bases and a purple top sheet, blizzard has 2 skis with girly violet/blue and then light green and light blue top sheets. They're just trying to roast candide cause it's his company and hes on social media, even though he wasnt remotely close to starting gender biased ski graphics, next season those 2.0s better be all black to prove I'm a badass man.

But that’s also the point. The majority of woman’s are either pink or purple right now. Not everyone likes pink. (I do— but a lot of my customers express frustration about the lack of diversity in woman’s graphics.)

Yeah true, but I wanna say armada has womens skis that aren't over the top girly, faction has a few pink/girly skis this year then some almost look like a mens ski graphic, funny thing is their website has a unisex and women for the ski genders.
Maybe companies like faction could use the hate to ask women skiers what they want for a graphic, I really don't care how a ski looks, I mean it helps with the purchase but if it skis how I like it I'm getting it regardless.

I just bought a pair of k2 empress’s off a homie for 25 bucks bc I need skis and they were brand new un drilled. Haven’t had the chance to get them Mounted yet but they do t even look like girl skis. They’re mostly black with a little bit of teal and red in the tips & Orange bases.
AbiHDuuuuudeZ this is like the caddilac of skis.... not gonna lie kinda wish it was all pink like neon would be cool
But like I get why people are upset HOWEVER it’s a bit over the top. Like calm down at least they’re promoting women’s skiing
I agreeeeeee the pink and white absolutely slaps. Seems like people are just DYING to boycott something all the time now... so petty lol women and men are just shaped different, what's so offensive about recognizing that while making a ski? Shit, im only 145 pounds I could prolly rock those all day 😂
gapersarefriendsSo first day with intuition tour wraps in my boots and jesus CHRIST my skis are glued to my feet and i feel like lindsey vonn out there my god
Are they just liners?
Why are they so good?
What makes intuitions good as opposed to stock liners?
