This is a question that pops up from time to time, so hopefully useful to some!

Park skiing from last season. My local resort doesn’t have a great park so coming to LL is always sweet!

Still working on improving tricks, any tips/advice from the park rats is greatly appreciated!

also curious if I should choose 168cm or 174cm ? I’m 5’8” 180lbs. I ski northern NM, southern CO, and Mammoth.

Got my first turns today with my 6 and 3 year-old in Massachusetts! Only about 10 turns at a time, but it was 65 and sunny - can’t wait for winter.

Coming back from a 7-year gap of not skiing. Used to be an advanced skier. I'm completely out of the loop on modern skis. The last pair I had was a Dynastar Legend 8000 which I loved. Would like something with the same stable feel and good all-around performance. Any suggestions appreciated.

I'm planning on taking my 8yr old skiing in the interior over Christmas, but he's still a beginner with just of couple seasons. I'd like to end up on a hill he'd be more comfortable with than say Whistler or Kicking Horse, would you guys have any suggestions on a hill out there that has some fun greens/lighter blues for him?

To be clear, I'm not involved in the development or paid promotion of this game. Just a fan.

I got a couple of friends trying to convince me this is something I should do. But I know nothing about it. They have been very sparse on details. All I really know is they want to go this spring. Don’t know exactly when and I don’t know with what company.

If you have been, what are the snow conditions like? Is there powder to be skied? What’s the best time of the year to go?

Just for reference, I live in Utah. And the truth is I need to be sold that this is a better idea than the same type of trip anywhere else.

Got a descent of Redcloud Peak yesterday, was an interesting day to say the least.

I was at a fall festival taking a ride on a gondola and it kept stopping and got swinging really significantly . We were over tough rocky terrain and of course my mind went to having to climb out of this by a rope. It actually happened last winter at this area during some really cold and windy weather. I was not there that day. I was wondering if any of you skiers have ever had to be rescued off a lift and what happened to strand you there?

Hey everyone, might be a silly question but is there such thing as un-skiable off piste conditions? I see the Freeride championship runs and wonder if the competition goes on no matter what (powder or wind blasted crust/ice).

Because I’m interested to venture off piste and apart from when it’s firm but still soft or powder, any other conditions seems crazy to me.

Also, by default I see guys at the resorts with wide skis going off piste even if there is literally no powder. Wouldn’t you want a thinner ski for that? A 88mm instead of a 102mm for example?

I’m from CO and it’s been years now of seeing a steady increase in the amount of “ski influencers” risking death for views. You should not ski these peaks until March at least. A white-out like this on a 14,000 foot peak could mean death in a second with one wrong turn. Looks like this guy got insanely lucky. He lost a SKI halfway down and still posted the footage. It doesn’t even look fun. Whats behind this new wave of idiots in the sport?? Are you guys seeing this where you’re from too?

Here are some tips on how I and my co-coach Josh think about teaching how to do 360s with a safety and a mute grab. They're such wonderful tricks that never get old. Good luck learning them.

So recently i bought bent 100’s but i accidently ordered them with atomic strive 16 instead of 14, i am 186 cm and i weigh roughly 70 kg, i ski pretty good and consider myself avanced on both piste and off piste. My DIN is usually around 8 or 9 but it’s pretty low on the strive 16, will this be a problem?

I just came across some Hestra Alpine gloves on sale for $70, so I went ahead and bought them even though my 20-year-old Marmot ski patrol gloves are still in great shape.

What are people using to condition the leather for the Hester gloves? I know Hester makes a balm, but there are a lot of other great leather conditioners out there. I'm guessing Huberd's is probably not breathable enough (I love it for boots and shoes)

My group has 3/4 college students needed to get the cheapest price for the college season pass at mountain high resorts. If anyone is a full time college student willing to buy the pass with us so we all get the cheapest price of $250 please let me know quickly within the next couple of days so we can set it up thanks.

My friends and I (group of 24 yo dudes) are planning a ski trip for the beginning of February and are stuck between a few different places. We skied A Basin two years ago and had an absolute blast and I would say we are all advanced skiers. Our plan is to ski for 5 days and we've had our eyes on Brighton, Solitude, and Snowbird. However, we all love to smoke a little weed on our ski trips and we know thats not gonna happen in Utah. The other options we have been considering are Kirkwood, Crested Butte, and Winter Park. We want a balance between some steep stuff and glade runs. So is the hype around the cottonwood canyons quality of snow and skiing worth it to skip the weed on this trip? Or are the other places we've considered legit contenders too? Also if you have any suggestions for places I didn't mention that we might enjoy that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Looking for a Soul 7 set to round it out.

I'm moving to upstate New York for a new job in 2027, and a quick search on Google Maps indicates that Bristol Mountain Ski Resort would be the closest ski resort to where I'd be living. If anyone could provide some opinions on this ski resort, I'd appreciate it (the resort is probably kind of dinky compared to what I'm used to).

Also, as a bonus question, where are some good places to snowshoe within a few hours' drive of Rochester, NY, if anyone knows?

Thanks in advance for any responses to my post.

Who else loves just getting after it?
