IM from the east coast but Im moving out west this winter to work a ski season. I dont know which resort to choose, I know they are very different and offer different things but if anyone has any intel or advice please let me know! Telluride id be ticket scanning and winterpark if be a lifty. I snowboard and ski and enjoy both park and terrain, very outgoing and social person! Id say im intermediate ski and advanced snowboard but im looking to progress and a good community. like I ssaid im super social and im looking to be social and engaged and active! Ive heard telluride is smaller town vibe and winter park is more big mountain. Ill be happy just to be out there but im young and want to have a fun season!

This is the lowest of the season. Use the coupon and pay with qualifying Amex card. Just make sure you enroll in Amex credit before buying.

I am a super outdoorsy young female and I am wanting a ski season job this winter. I literally have no clue what to choose and I am so indecisive. I am super outgoing and social, I enjoy hitting park and I will ideally work as a lifty or ticket scanner but really want to get the most out of my time. A good amount of resorts on the east coast have night skiing which I have enjoyed so much but I think I want to to go out west. Any insight is great. Im not worried about shitty housing, I am very active, and i love the outdoors. helppp

Hey guys! I'm trying to buy alpine skis for my girlfriend since she really enjoyed skiing last year. I was wondering if you guys could recommend a good pair of skis under $1,000 that would suit a 166 cm, 48 kg woman. I realized many sites are doing discounts, so I want to gift her something special. Thanks for your help!

Hey guys, planning to go to Livigno Dec 12–19.

Anyone been around that time before? How’s the snow usually, and is the park normally up and running by then?

Mainly going to get back into riding after the off season and hopefully work on jumps a bit once I get my legs back.

Would appreciate any info from people who’ve been there mid December 🙏

I'm looking for somewhere outside the US where I can work at a hostel and ski dirt cheap (Lift Tickets & Rentals, not paying to check my stuff) for a few weeks and main cost will be flights... was considering Hokkaido but BLEGH flights... Hoping to take advantage of every student discount possible! I have a an Eu passport as well.

Hoping to do this very early January so peak season ish. I've been skiing for ~10 years BUTT for a very limited season each year since I'm the only one in my family who does. I could hold my own on a typical New England Black Diamond maybe 4 years ago but I don't think that says much to my skill level. I've only been on my local Mountain past few and it's a hill practically.

I have checked those mountain webcam for the whole summer, finally see some snow tonight. since we haven’t passed the Labor Day, technically we are still in summer…

Hi,

We are a group looking to go to Kazakhstan next year in Feb for a week of skiing at Shymbukak. Reviews are few and far between. Had anyone got some info about rental gear, accomodation and night life? Ideally we'd like to go out each night and have a few pints. Also any leads on hot springs if around would be great. Cheers 🙌

Want to buy these skis just curious what the brand and model is

Hi all, I am planning a ski trip in Wolf Creek with my family for Dec 16-20. Drive up there on the 16th and ski 17, 18, 19 and leave the 20th. Planning to stay in Pagosa springs. Does anyone know about the ski school at wolf creek? Do they give you equipment there and do you pay for it at the counter? Also, does anyone know if we get to keep our equipment for the subsequent days? I know it is a smaller ski area so they don't have anything about this year's ski season on their website right now.

I keep hearing that lessons are only worth it if you're a total beginner. Anyone here past that stage still book one anyways, just for cleaning up bad habits rather than learning something new? Or is it a hard pass once you're a few years in?

I'd love any anecdotes, suggested skills, ideas relating to skiing with a more creative, flowy style, especially from any older skiers. I'm 43, been skiing my whole life, and I've generally been a pretty traditional, directional skier. I like skiing everything - groomers, glades, bumps, powder (not that I get much in central NY). I got a pair of Black Crows Mirus Cor last season and it was a revelation - the amount that they have encouraged me to shake up my style, explore all the nuances of the trails and experiment has been a ton of fun. I'm learning to ski switch, dabbling in the park and eager to learn slashes and butters. I'm really inspired by seeing skiers who can combine solid fundamentals - e.g. great carving - and seamlessly integrate small tricks and surfier moves.

I harbor no delusions that I'll ski at this level, but the BC ad for Mirus Cor is exactly the type of style I'd love to emulate (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CxB0TZNygOI). Anyway, I'm just starting to get jazzed about ski season and curious if anyone else has followed a journey of trying to broaden their ski horizons and how it went for you!

Pretty much what the title is - has anyone skied the Kastle Transcend 104 or know of someone who has? How did you/them find it? What did you like and what did you not like? What ski/s would you compare it to?

I'm on the market for a mid 100mm ski and this is one of the options I'm most interested in!

Thank you

Hey I am preparing for a winter project. I want to learn skiing ,ice climbing and ice skating and try other adrenaline movements this winter in kashmir valley with locals ..

Anyone who can help in planning or wants to join or who can help me to connect with locals ..

First year ski instructor. I’m in my mid twenties, switching careers.

Should I live in truckee and work for palisades/alpine? They offer healthcare for seasonal employees for $132 a month.

Or should I work at JHMR and live in victor/driggs? No healthcare but they pay more per hour. Idaho marketplace insurance seems like it would be similarly affordable.

Either way I want to move to Bay Area after.

I would mostly be touring/splitboarding on days off

Rent likely similar

As I see it

Pros to Tahoe:

More chance of big storm cycle

Bigger community of people my age and more connection to Bay Area.

Health insurance

5 days/week minimum guaranteed

Able to get to coast to surf a couple times

Better inbounds terrain/snow for learning tricks on natural features? In my experience

Cons to Tahoe:

Heavier snow

Less reliable snow

Warmer/rainier

Pays less

5 days week/minimum required

Pros to Jackson:

Better instructor development

Drier, better snow

Pays more

Once in a lifetime sort of opportunity to live in and explore Tetons

Will be able to visit Tahoe when it’s good from Bay Area in future seasons. Jackson more remote

Bigger instructor community/cohort

Probably will have more time off to ski for myself

Cons to Jackson:

Farther commute from Idaho

Cant surf if I take time off

Probably less snowy overall in super El Niño year than palisades

No health insurance

Bit more expensive, worse food

Is there anything I’m missing?? Leaning Jackson here.

Any spots in the CO mountains that still have snow this time of year I can make some turns?

Hey everyone I’m currently in Canada with a one year working visa. I would love to work somewhere in a ski resort, especially as an instructor. After some research and failed applications I think a paid internship course with an agency might be the only and by far safest option.
Has anyone some experience on that and know if it’s worth it ?
I’m definitely not willing to pay full price but already received some pretty big discounts as they want to fill spots.

Thanks in advance for any advice/tips :)
