SteezyYeeterstop pretending like you're actually mad, it's just virtue signaling, there's no way you actually have an emotional reaction to a comp being held in saudi arabia. that is pathetic. you're also mad that no one, not saudi arabia or pro skiers or fis, gives a fuck about your bitching.
The sportswashing shit is pretty wack and sucks to see our sport being used for it. the country itself is so backwards in terms of treatment of women that im surprised a freestyle womens skier hasnt said anything about it (have they?)

i'm sure they have. i mean this is bringing a lot of attention to SA, maybe it will be good in the end. no one is speaking in support of them.
Voyage86i stupidly mounted a mid fat pow ski at -2.5 hoping that it would still ski good in pow (it doesn’t). but it does happen to ski all mountain and park more fun than any other ski i’ve ever ridden and i think i’m falling in love. would it be crazy to mount two sets of quiver killers on this ski, one set at -2.5 for low tide days and one set at like -6 for pow and just move the binding back and forth depending on conditions?
I've thought about doing that before. But in actuality I'm too lazy to swap my bindings every couple days depending on conditions.
Also you gotta strategically place your patterns to make sure you have adequate spacing between the holes. Pretty easy for some binding patterns, surprisingly tricky for different patterns

i got tyrolia attack 14s which have a really good pattern for that. i saw somone have two sets of quiver killers on a ski where one was for alpine bindings and one was for touring bindings. it was proof of concept enough for me.

I've installed a bunch of QK inserts at home over the last couple years. lmk if you actually do it, I have a bunch of little tips. Perhaps I could make a thread with my findings

Would love to hear your tips. I've done it a few times but it's always spread out enough that I have to re learn every time
skied MRG yesterday, despite the warm temps, no grooming and rain overnight it was some of the best skiing i’ve ever done or had. Me and my sister threw some yellow wax on our skis and ripped for a good three to four hours before heading to burlington with our pops to celebrate his Bday! One hell of a day at the glen! she loved the lift like drop right at the base area also lol. Hyped to get my slalom obsessed sister to ski some bumps and drops
sick. hmu next time and ill show you all the spotz.

I don't even feel as strongly about this as twig but it makes sense that people are mad. I know a lot of powerful countries commit terrible acts, I'm not so naive that I think Saudi Arabia is uniquely terrible. That being said, you can't dispute that Saudi Arabia is hosts sports events to improve their reputation, which has suffered due to events like the war in Yemen or the Washington post they beheaded a few years back. Secondly, it's clear that anyone who participates is helping them do it. For those two reasons, it's pretty valid for people to be pissed.
If you wanna take the stance that pros might as well go since someone else would just take their spot, that's not an unreasonable stance. It seems like you're being a contrarian here since it's pretty reasonable for people to be mad that their fav skiers are playing any role in what's very clearly a case of sports washing.

Another thing to factor is using vibratite each time you swap as well. Must be a cleaner way cause I got that all over hands
SteezyYeeteryo what fill me in on that? they killed an american and we haven't bombed the shid out of them?
Nah he wasn’t a US citizen but was a pretty big scandal I recall. He relocated to the us and he worked for the post. He was living in the US for a year I think before he went to Saudi Arabia and then was killed, almost certainly at the orders of the prince.
CeleryFree your mind from the confines of the east coast
no but genuinely i enjoy big sky's park so much every time i go up there is not a single thought of doing anything but park. it is simply too good to sacrifice a few runs on the mountain
ReturnToMonkeySomeday come around with me I'll show you actual good lifts that aren't for Texas tourists
I was trying to think of some good transitional lifts if he’s been on swifty all year. I don’t want to send him up to challenger or shedhorn if he’s been skiing mr. k laps for months on end lol

I got the opposite problem, I do a few laps in park then just wanna bomb some drops and floaty 1s and 3s around the mtn.
Just do what you’re feeling, big sky’s park looks pretty fire rn too
I was pretty neutral about the skiers going to compete in Saudi Arabia but then I saw the photos of them smiling and looking tough w their medals I got a truly sick feeling in my stomach. Fuck this shit

It's more about the wasted time it takes to get there and back compared to other options, plus he hasn't been skiing Mr K, you can't get to the park from that run.

True, I forgot the name of the other flat green to get to the park lol. The terrain on those lifts bangs imo, super worth the short traverse

I am a firm believer that big mountain is easy and that i can cruise through the harder terrain given that i have the desire to leave the park.
GayWolf420New STH16s are fucking insane, bros. Shit makes you feel like you're going to shoot out of your boots with that power transfer and elasticity.
In the best way possible. I can see how the power transfer switch on the toes could present an issue should it break, but it's a great binding. I like the progressive setting more but need to test out the direct setting more. I accidentally set my toes today in the direct on one ski and felt a bit flat-flooted in a turn.
Skied in -22 today there were still some solid pockets of powder and was a good day overall but damn my toes are not built for that shit. Also was too windy to build a jump :^(
