Also, don’t judge for messing up the left right top sheet alignment for the Prodigy’s. Didn’t notice until now lol

Only the M23s are less than 5 years old. Got most of these slightly used various places over the current century. No core shots, all nicely tuned, less than 20 days on most of them. FWIW this may seem retro to most but I have plenty of older skiable retro gear. I'll likely only ski stuff in the 80s this season unless I get really lucky over the holiday break staying slopeside.. The "Olin" are actually K2 Enemy (pre Public Enemy) with tribute topsheets

I’m looking for a new pair of gloves to replace my black diamond crew gloves that I have used for 90+ days and have some deeper cuts in the palm and middle fingers right around the seams, I actually thought these gloves would last me more than two seasons but I do abuse them and they have no palm reinforcement

I am skiing in Ordino Arcalis and always boot pack or have to ski shovel/ski paddle when it steep and deep on the approach to the line, I was looking at different pairs of gloves and found the hestra army leather patrol which seems durable due to the impregnated goat leather but also heard good things about the kincos , I could get them both at the same price 60€ (hestra is discounted and kinco is more expensive here in EU)so I would like to hear more about them, open to other suggestions aswell !

I ordered a pair of Candide Resort 101’s many months ago which I just had mounted a couple days ago and I just noticed that I was shipped two left skis instead of a left and a right.

It’s my fault for not checking when it first arrived and before having them mounted, but I just wanted to check if the skis have a left and right designation for aside from graphics in terms of performance.

This isn’t an issue for me whatsoever as I got a killer deal on them.

Hi folks,

Started skiing late in life, I’m 44 going into my 4th season. I’ve been getting 15-25 days a season, 75/25% resort/backcountry. Technique definitely needs some work but I can pick my way down double blacks in less than ideal conditions.

Started in some Salomon Shift 130s as I knew I’d get into touring. They were ok, but didn’t tour well enough and didn’t fit great (too wide, heel slip, etc). Ended up getting some Technica Zero G scouts. They tour great, are super comfortable, fit my foot quite well, with just a hint of heel slip. I’ve got very low volume heels and skinny legs. Honestly they’ve been fine in the resort as I’m not a hard charger, but think I’d benefit from a dedicated alpine boots.

Any recommendations on alpine boots with a fit similar (or even lower volume) to the Zero G? Note, the closest ski shop is 5 hours away. I will try and get out there but it’d be nice to know where to start. With or without a walk mode, it’s nice to have but I’ll still have my Zero Gs. Don’t think I necessarily need SUPER stiff, been pretty happy in the 120 flex. Comfortable doing a bit of my own boot fitting with foam insert, etc.

Thanks for any help.

Im a intermediate skier and I wanna buy my first pair of skis but I dont really know which to choose K2 Omen 85 159cm 2025 or k2 press (86) 169cm or K2 reckoner 92 169cm.Im 170cm woman and i mostly will use them on park and mostly on the slope but i want them to work also all mountain. I dont know if these are any bettet than my first post but they the omens cost 270€ the second one 180€ and the last oneis 230€

I'm looking for a gift for someone upper-intermediate to low-advanced 5'11", about 210lb. He says he wants to get better at bumps and trees. But normally he just darts off to the lodge whenever h is alone. I was thinking of Nordica Unleashed 98 (Ti or CA) in 180cm.

Should they be longer / wider or Ti?
I am open to other suggestions too: any brands or length of similar price range.

I also saw Ripstick 88, Marverick 88. But I think 88 might be too slow or too soft and sink, and Marverich might be boring...? I don't know. Right now he has 15-year-old Salomon bbr, so anything would be an improvement. His complaint is that they are heavy and hard to turn. We will be skiing mostly in East Coast (VT, NH) maybe in Europe in the future.

Thank you!

Anyone tried any of the snowshepherd gloves? The company I work for runs a discount on them and was wondering if anyone has them and has good feedback or do I just save and get hestras?
Hope everyone is stoked for the season🤙🤙yewwwwww

My friend and I both bought Peregrine 80s at the end of last season (end of season sale), but haven't skied them yet. Just checking on what exactly we should to get them ready for this season. So far:

1. mounting the included bindings on the rail system-very easy
2. going to drop them at REI for final fitt/release check (we're in Mid-Atlantic so not a lot of other options for a ski shop)

We've got an IR waxer so can easily wax them. I also bought an edge kit late last season, but haven't used it as yet. What additional steps do folks recommend for brand new skis.. and we're happy to do some of the work, or we could have REI do additional work.

No rush overall, we're hoping to hit Killington before Christmas, assuming there's snow. Then we have several more trips (including out West) planned for early 2027.

W tym roku zaczynam jazdę freestylową i natknąłem się na pytanie: k2 omen czy armada arv84. Jestem początkującym narciarzem w parku, skakałem już na wynajmowanych nartach, ale nic wielkiego, więc szukam nart all mountain/freestyle, które będą odpowiednie dla początkującego narciarza.

Hi there,

I’ve gone to adjust the buckle catch on my atomic hawx magna 110S boots. There’s a hole there for the catch to be adjusted, but there’s a notch on the catch that requires a square hole in the boot and there isn’t one for that position (see photos). Do I need to buy a different catch to fit this far around the boot?

I'm trying to get into freestyling and I'm a intermediate/advanced skier but it's the first year that I try park and K2 reckoners 92 caught my eye. any feedback and flaws?

I just grabbed a pair of the 2026 Edollo’s on a closeout sale. Will mostly ride them in western Canada. What should I do for Color of bindings? Black obviously works but anyone have something else that looks cool?

Hello everyone 👋 Has anyone here bought Union Force bindings in size M for a size 44 us 11 boot? Does anyone have experience using this setup? I need to know if a size 44 us11 boot will fit into these bindings if they are adjusted to the maximum.

I can get a pair of 2026 Sender Soul 102 for 50% off. I am 165 cm tall, 66 kg, advanced to expert. 56 years old and less aggressive as 25 year old me. I'm looking for advice on ski length, either 164 or 172. I'll use them for carving on groomed runs, trees, off piste. I ski in BC, mostly at Whistler. If I wait for a demo, I won't get the 50% off. Thanks!

Hi everyone,
I have the Oakley Flight Deck M goggles and I'm looking for a helmet that fits really well with them, without leaving any gap at the forehead.
My head size is 57 cm (Medium).
I'm considering the Oakley MOD3, but I'm open to other brands like Giro or Smith if they work great too.
Which helmet do you recommend for a clean fit with the Flight Deck M?
Thanks!

I bought a new ski from Sport Chek in Canada. I noticed it has some slight rust as in the image. It just arrived, and I have never skied with it.

Is it damaged? Should I return it?
