so is marty working at boulder now too?

didnt you see the southpark nintendo wii episode? that whole freezing thing didnt work out so well for cartman...

why the hell not? i think it looks pretty fun actually.

anyone else going to killy that weekend? i'm doing rails to riches, just wondering if anyone else from around here is in?

yeah, line dropped the ball with this whole "lets wait til every mountain in the country is open before we ship our skis" thing this year... i'm still waiting on my 178s as well. oh, and my silencers are mounted at +7.5, and will primarily be my park ski. i have a pair of seths for all mtn.

well, i skied invaders last year and loved them. i'm on silencers this season, but havent skied them yet. i liked the old PE, and the silencer is a softer version of that ski, so i think i will like them a lot. i'll let you know after rails to riches next weekend at killy.

it completely depends on the ski. the fuajtives true center, no. troublemakers ski perfectly fine mounted true center, but their standard mount is only 5cm from true center anyway.

so, uh, they had a big air comp in april when everyone else around here was closed...

i really hate that k2 labeled the +7.5 mark as core center, cause it confuses more people than it helps. "core center" on a k2 is +7.5 from standard mount. true, middle of the ski, dead center is +12cm from standard mount, so nothing about +7.5 is really center, in all reality.

center mounting the fujatives, from what i have, is kind of a bad idea. a ski like the fujative (or dynastar TM, to an extent) has a very specific flex pattern that differs from tip to tail. if you mount the ski too far forward, you start to interfere with that by mounting the toe piece very close to the softest part of the ski. also, the center of the sidecut on the ski is not that far forward either. mounting them true center will make it feel like you are almost ahead of the ski, if that makes any sense. its hard to understand if you've never skied on a pair of skis that was mounted forward of recommended. i'm pretty sure shadows has his mounted true center, so i would ask him how he likes them, but my recommendation, if you're getting into the park but still using them for all mountain purposes as well is to go +5. i wouldnt go past +7.5 though.

haha thanks jeff. for real though, this is a pretty nice jacket. someone should definitely pick it up. if anyone needs other pics or any other info, just let me know whoa, ^^ this is KT...dont know how i got on justo's username.

come on now, thats harsh. boulder and frost were pretty shabby in the past, although it seems like boulder is making an effort this year.

just call it a hunch.

there are two down flat downs as far as i have been told. one of them is the down flat down s box, and the other is a down flat down box with curved transitions instead of kinks, which i think is what he was talking about. the s box looks like it might actually be fun though too, if set up properly.

i think this might have been the single most worthwhile and meaningful thing doug has ever said on this site... how deep

ummm... i dont anticipate having any problems cleaning the thing whatsoever. if you can do a kink, it shouldnt be any harder. the reason no one could clean the j rail at bear was because the thing flat out sucked. and if you have no control when you are spinning on a box, maybe you should start with the basics first and learn how to control your trajectory when sliding a box or rail. its not meant to be a feature that anyone who's skied or boarded for a few days can do. the stuff on sidewinder is supposed to be difficult, and its about time that it is. the sliding board rail looks like it could be fun too. if you come into the thing with any amount of speed, you wont even touch the flat part anyway, so it will basically be like an a frame box.

me too. could it be that they would make snow, oh, say, when it gets cold enough?

if your looking for a solid ski for a pretty good price, check out the k2 5com. its got a bit of a turned of tail so you can play around skiing switch on it too. its by no means the most top of the line ski, but it has a huge ability range that would suit a lot of different skiers pretty well. it also skis very damp.

go for the 49, and if you dont like it, cut them. easier to go long and cut them down, then go short and have to buy a new pair. they're only aluminum i'm pretty sure, so if you dont like em, just pop the grip off, cut two inches, and pop the grip back on. its really easy to do. how much are those poles anyway? they seem like a lot of money for a regular aluminum pole. you could get a k2 5speed for that price and its a composite pole thats lighter and stronger. and in response to gurp, they dont do much in the park, but for skiing other places on the mountain, poles help out a lot. ever try skiing bumps with no poles? they help you get your rhythm down.

thank you keith. that should do the job well i think

anytime i've done skiercross at blue when any of the race kids entered, they got housed by us "park rats." some of us can ski outside the park as well, and it seemed to me like the racers didnt really know how to pump transition to gain speed as well as we did.

bump

so i came across some stuff i dont need when i was looking through my ski gear... Native beanie, brand new, $10. its black with dark green logo. the logo pictured is also on the back of the hat, but smaller. salomon earflap beanie, brand new with tags, $15. fleece lined with cool alien type faces on it. fate women's large ski pants. comes with a belt, the waist isnt that big but they are good for someone who is tall. they are my girlfriends, were worn maybe 5 times tops. she is 5'8 and they were a good length for her to give you an idea of fit. $50 bonfire women's pants, size medium. worn for one season but still in good shape. $40
