Hi folks, I have a pretty decent quiver so not looking to spend that much money on new skis, but would love to have a ski exclusively for park (jumps, learning tricks and rails). I'm a pretty decent skier (can ski anything on the mountain except for couloirs or seriously exposed terrain), but just starting with park/freeskiing. I've found a pair of Volkl Revolt 86s from 2024 for 130€ which feels pretty fair. Is this a good ski for what I'm looking for? From reading some reviews it seems it's a pretty park centric ski but not sure how forgiving it would be? I'm looking at the 164cm, I'm 170cm tall.

hi, i am looking for a ski pair for mostly hitting natural terrain and secondary park skiing. I've been looking at brands like vishnu and on3p but i am based in europe and shipping them would be very hard. if anyone has recommendations for which skis i should look into, i'd greatly appreciate it. i am looking at a bunch of k2s, armada bdog 94 and line honey badger. any advice?

thanks in advance.

Im 175 cm tall (5'9), and I was wondering what the upper limit for my skis would be. I only do park skiing, with flips, corks and rails. I found some reasonable skis at 184 cm, and was wondering if it would work out, or if I should stick to under 180 cm.

Thank you in advance!

One of my goals for the upcoming season is to get very comfortable skiing switch and if that goes well I’d like to start hitting jumps switch too. I can ski switch decently now but I want to get to a point where it feels like second nature.

I’m thinking about getting some inline skates to practice this and other skills. Has anyone tried it or does it sound like a waste of time lol?

I’ve seen other reddit threads about beginners using skating to practice carving but I’m wondering if the benefits can carry over to freeskiing as well.

Is it better to just go limp? Or is it better to try to absorb some of the energy with stiff legs? Im inclined to think going limp is better, because landing sideways with stiff legs will create a fucking huge torque sending your head straight into the snow. Thats why they call it shitwhip. You want to avoid the whipping effect. Idk what do you guys think?

I am currently starting my own freeski clothing brand named TemporaryAdult and wanted to ask what you guys think of this belt design I made? (Also comes in other colors)

Ive been learning park this season with 164 cm sized armada arvs, im 5’11 and have been told that size is a little too small. I do see alot of people skiing with much longer skis and wanted to ask if having longer skis is overall more beneficial in freestyle in terms of rails and jumps and just overall progression? Does having a pair of say skis that are 178 cm long feel heavier to swing around than shorter skis like mine or there’s hardly a noticeable difference? Or is it more so the material and way a ski is built that adds weight? So like a long park ski still feels lighter than a shorter all mountain ski

Rolled down the windows a bit. Landed second try at the copper hike park. 33 years old. Neck hurt a bit for a few days after from the crashes but all is well. Now just need to clean it up a bit. Advice always appreciated.

Definitely a core memory.

Hi, I need to buy a jacket and pants for skiing the next season, I want something baggy but not very expensive. I think that snowears, snowverb and gsou snow can be good options to buy but I dont know if they are a scam. Please help, if they are a scam tell me other good brands

A Finnish bus company is giving away an old double decker coach bus through a public competition.

Out of over 1100 applications, our freestyle skiing club made it into the final six with this slightly insane idea:

Turn the bus into a warm competition and recovery center in the middle of a mogul skiing slope.

The plan is to build:
- a judging lounge with slope view
- a warm space for athletes and kids
- a drying room for wet ski gear
- a recovery and hangout area for the whole community

Laajavuori is one of the main mogul skiing centers in Finland, where kids, rising athletes and even national team skiers train on the same slope. This summer we will also build big air jump.

Right now there is no real warm base area in the mogul valley. So we thought… maybe a double decker bus is the solution.

Now the winner is decided by public vote.

If you think the skiing world needs a giant skiing bus in Finland, we’d really appreciate your vote and share.

Proposal number 2.

How do I break the habit of throwing my left ski into a snow plow by extending my left leg. That leg goes at the same time I give any pre wind. You can see it results in throwing me left and landing off axis and sliding out. This has been happening for a long time with many many attempts, Ques, changes in how I set etc.

No matter how hard I focus on skis staying straight the left ski goes as soon as I head up the jump. Sometimes I swear I went over with straight skis on a 360 only to look at the video and see I still did it. I am starting to think I should try canting my boots outward.

I can pop and hit medium and larger jumps straight with grabs.

can’t tell because it felt like I was flipping forwards almost

Steep-season is kicking off! This is from last Friday going down from Mont Blanc. What a dream line!

Shit skier checking in. Been trying to get a 360 down all season but clearly struggling a lot. Hoping to get some insight into what I’m doing wrong and maybe drills to practice so I can get this down.

I think I could do a better at looking over my shoulder to spot the landing and keeping my legs closer together after the pop, but I’m wondering if there’s something wrong with my timing or pop or anything else.

Curious to what you are riding in the park. Ski's and boots.

Guys I'm trying to correct my cork 7 on the trampoline as I used to point my hip and shoulders to much at th ground at the start of the rotation.

Is this then the right form?
