I’m in the market for new sticks, something wider and softer than my current Magnus 90’s. Currently look at either Icelantic Nomad 95’s which are 50% on a few sites and would run me about 420 or so bucks. I’m also looking at Vishnu wides, and were gonna get them used with very minimal damage for…

With most of the companies starting to drop new skis and prices seemingly being on the rise I was curious what most of you are willing to spend on new season skis and types? For instance, on new model standard skis that are regular production runs I’d find it hard to pay $1000 or more. On something that&r…

When humanity is in need of more space we go up, double deckerbuses in england, double decker bridges in new york, and eventually double decker chairlifts. This revoluntairy chairlift will be similar to the double double chairlifts of our youth, except instead of having hideously wide lift poles, and an ugly mess of wi…

Hey guys, does anyone have any information on how to get access to the UOP's airbag for summer training? I called the UOP and they said PC Ski and Snowboard manage it but that organization has no contact information as far as I can find. Hitting the bag looks like a blast and I'd be bummed to miss out. Any info helps!

Does anyone know how LL actually does on avy control? Is it a "we bomb but do an ok job so bring your beacon" or are you actually truly on your own, left to do your own due diligence (like in Europe)? Are some parts bombed and other parts not? While I'm here, is the bus from Mendoza any good?

Forest Service has approved Alta's plans to put in a tram to the top of Mount Baldy. It will go to the very top. While the idea of a tram wouldn't be bad in theory, as it will open up more lift access terrain, and prevent military mortars from being shot over civilian property (the only place in the U.S. this happ…

Jul 25th 2024 - Gear Talk

Just copped a pair of the new Armada ARV112 in a 192cm. So bloody stoked to mount em up and see how they ride. They seem like an oversized arv 106 from the sidecut and general outline. Rocker is far more tame than a pair of the 116JJs and with a reasonable amount of camber underfoot, and minimal tail rocker. H…
