NMSKI

I was doing some thinking now that my season is over. I've decided to dedicate myself to the technical aspect of the sport. I'll be pursuing my PSIA certification this winter. If I can improve my wedge Christie, I should be able to go right to level 3.

April fools fucker!!

Never mind. Just saw "no more than one per visit" and expires in 6 months.

For the record, these can be used in bulk and there's no limit, correct? How about expiration?

I'm incredibly nervous about cutting them to size. I saw that dynastar makes pre-cut skins for my exact ski, but they make it almost impossible to figure out how to actually buy them. Me: take my money please. Dynastar website: no thanks we're good.

Thanks JLaw and Justo for the good information! Got a sweet deal on some Guardians (16 din/small). Barely broke $5 hundy for the skis + binders so I have some extra $ to get some decent skins.

Speed will only mask your deficiencies, the only way to get good at powder and spring conditions is to do lots of whirlybirds.

You're welcome and anytime!!

Could just take it to PM at this point lol, but maybe the answers to my questions are helpful to others. Here's another one: pretty much all of the non-tech touring bindings have a small and large size choice. Small is usually up to 320 bsl, large ranges from somewhere under 315 or so to way long. If my boots are 316 and 318, respectively, I should go with small to save weight, correct? Is there any reason to go with large, assuming din range and other specs are the same?

Cool man, thanks for the info! We're talking 99% resort 1% uphill probably. In my dreams I'd love to tour all the time and really get into that but it ain't happening any time soon due to where I live and available free time. The thing that got me interested was when I went to Stowe and I was like the 2nd person in the parking lot, but the only other guy there was getting geared up for a skin up the mountain before they open. Just seemed like something that would be great exercise, and would be fun to do once in a while if I get a wild hair up my ass. One more question - is it better to skin with a walk/ride boot in walk mode or is that setting only helpful for hiking? I have a pair of boots with walk/ride that have plenty of life left in them, but I replaced with something stiffer.

Have to grab some bindings for the new Chams and thinking about something I can do some uphill travel with once in a while. Leaning toward guardians based on Internet research. Anybody know anything about these or have other recommendations?

I'd whirl my bird to her for sure!

I had never tried spanakopita before and now I'm a huge fan! Anybody know any good Greek places?

I didn't realize we had an audience, I would have gotten even more rad had I known! Maybe an extra whirlybird or 2.

Great day! Thanks everyone for an awesome season. We made the best of what Mother Nature gave us for sure. I keep cracking up thinking of running the luge track that was the top of sidewinder with Tay Tay blasting. Highly technical descents were laid down all over the mountain today.

One question for you motherfuckers: DO YOU CONSENT?!!!

Gonna be hard to top last weekend's 2 turn corn harvest on razorback!

Better add some Katy Perry to the playlist

Whirly bird into a somersault! Frolicking in the snow is so much fun!

I like when people pronounce it "gabba-gool"!

Aside from pastrami, corned beef is the sexiest of the salted, cured meats.

"Oh my god someone copied something I posted in public! I'm ruined!"

Found a screaming deal this morning and ordered a pair of those Chams I demoed at Taos. I went with the 97's at 178, so that I can make slow deliberate turns. This will not only be a great ski when I'm with my kids since I can make a million turns with them, but I tested it on every possible type of terrain on low-tide conditions and I loved it.

I remember dissecting some little piggies in HS. Damn that's crazy that you see dead bodies at work, but makes sense.

Wow is that for food or science experiments?
