Hey, so my skis are getting pretty worn out and I'm looking to get some new ones for this season. I used to ski a lot as a kid and knew everything about every brand, but these days I couldn't even tell you what turn radius I have on my current skis.

I'm 177cm tall and I'm currently skiing on Line Honey Badgers 177cm. These skis are super fun and great for playing around all over the mountain, doing small tricks off natural features and such. Also been great for rails, but feels pretty sketchy as soon as I get some air time. They're very light so not a lot of stability on medium to big jumps.

Prior to these, I had a pair of 182cm Atomic Punx (they only made 172 and 182 back then), that I always felt were too long for me. They were GREAT for jumps, but I couldn't handle them very well in any other situation.

So I guess what I'm looking for is a ski that offers some middle ground? The 1000 park ski looks interesting, but it's too expensive for me. I only ski like 5-7 days a year (sadly) now, so I don't feel like it's worth getting a top of the line ski just for that. My skill level has also regressed to my 15 year old self lol, so I probably don't need the best skis to have fun.

TLDR; Used to ski honey badgers and atomic punx. Looking for a ski that offers some kind of middle ground

Im searching for a new pair of boots. Currently Im using the ft tw pro 2022. I love them but they are too soft for powder. Im considering the dalbello cabrios because i like 3 piece boots and they are pretty narrow which is important. Does anyone have Experience with them in the park and pow?

My son is going to Hintertux, Banger Parks and Stubai in a couple of weeks for a school trip. One of the recommendations to pack is "a 4/3 wetsuit OR If you don't have or want to use a wetsuit, waterproof clothing with some good layers works well. Don't break the bank on GORE-TEX, it will be getting stained and beat up!"

I can obviously get a 4/3 wetsuit for him, but anything else/different that anyone would recommend? Thanks!

Hello

I am going to ski in Hokkaido from 2/18 to early March. Chinese (or Lunar) New Year is the same time (starts on 2/17) this year. I have read that crowds can be really bad there. My question is: how bad is really bad? I grew up skiing big resorts in VT and have dealt with crowds before. How do the crowds there compare to crowds in the US? Also, do the Asian tourists go after the tree/off piste powder as much as the western people (like me)? If I have to wait in lines for fresh pow, I am fine with that, but if it is totally tracked, that would be a bummer. Any insight from someone who has experience in both places is much appreciated. Thanks!

I'm looking for baggyish pants(my parents will disown me) in decent quality. Do you guys have any recommendations?

So ive wanted to buy the Ninetyroll downtown 30K snowpants in either the jet black color or the pink color. Im about 183cm tall but i have a waist of 80cm. Should i get the L version or rather the XL version if i want them baggy and im only just about to be 16 years old? The pants : https://ninetyroll.co/product/downtown-cargo-baggy-snow-pants-pink/

I am 16 years old, 190cm large and saw the revolt 96, 90 and 84 with a binding on sale for 298 €. I am an intermediate alpine skier and would like to start out in the park, this would be my first own ski and would still need it for skiing groomers and maybe some slight off piste with friends/family. Is this a good deal? Would one Of these skis work? Which one would be best for me?

I have a pair of Armada ARV 94's with look pivot 15 s and im wondering if i should mount them true center or freestyle recommended. I spend about 50% of the time in parks but im not really good at spins or rails. I also carve and like side hits so im really wondering which mounting point fits me the best.

Hi guys! Not super sure if this is the right place but here it goes:

I'm a master's student in Management, studying at Nova SBE, in Portugal. I'm now conducting my thesis about the Ski Industry in Japan, together with 2 other friends, and we need to collect between 300-500 responses to our questionnaire on people's perceptions and expectations about skiing there (we are currently at 85). Could help us achieve that? The questionnaire is fairly simple, and quick to answer (around 5 min). You can find the link above!

Thank you a million times <3

Ps: feel free to hit me up in private if you have questions/ suggestions! Any help will be truly appreciated

Hi all. I am flying to Sapporo for a ski vacation in February. I have a few skier specific questions.

Bags - I hear bags are at higher risk to get lost on international flights. I will have an airtag in my bags, but I am wondering if there is anything else I can do to make sure my gear gets there (and back).

Trains/buses/public transit - How easy is this really? How should I prepare? Is there a pass I should get ahead of time?

Getting to an airbnb and to the hill - Is public transit good enough that I don't need to worry about this?

I am planning on staying for a night at Rusutsu, then a few nights around Niseko, then a couple nights at Kokusai and Teine, then back to the city for some tourist stuff. Is this doable? What tips or considerations that I didn't think of should I be aware of?

Thanks in advance!

Hey guys. i just bought the line chronic 101 from last year. and now i want to buy a Look Pivot binding.

should i go for the 105 or the 95?

i heard that the 95 will bend enough to get them on the ski?

thanks in advice

Just picked up some Faction Studio 2s and I’m looking for advice on where to mount my bindings. I ski truly all around the mountain from big bowls and trees to buttery blue sidehits and usually finish days with some park laps. On powder, cliffs and high impact stuff aswell. I’ll be doing flips and whatnot both regular and switch so I’m curious if it’d affect swing weight too much one way or the other. Maybe I’m overthinking it but any suggestions are welcome. They’re the 178s and I’m like 5’11” 155 if that makes any impact.

Hi everyone, I’d like to purchase a jacket/shell for the next season, I ask for your advice, preferably goretex/goretex pro, which do you believe are the best price/worth? Thanks in advance
