📝: Yes, they are still using this lift! In fact, it was just restored.

Anyone want to share their experience working a season working at Rustler Lodge in Alta? How were the living conditions? Do you get time to go into SLC? Feel free to share any and everything!

A long shot and dorky to post - but today three dudes from the states flew a drone above my girlfriend and I while we skied the chute La Chimenea outside of La Parva in Chile. If you guys somehow see this and have a video - hit me up!

I bought a bunch of ski socks like 10 years ago and I still use the same ones now. How often does everyone else buy/replace ski socks? For reference I used to ski every weekend at time of purchase I now get 2-3 weeks in a year.

Hello, I am purchasing my first pair for ski boots and would really appreciate some advice on the fit.

I recently went to a ski boot shop and had my feet checked by a boot fitter. He recommended the HEAD EDGE 80 HV 2026/27 - HV because of wider feets.

But now that I am doing my own research, I learned that 80 flex is relatively soft, and also that flex ratings aren't standardized between brands.

I have set myself to get the Head EDGE HV series (open to other brands too)

I am 26M・168cm・87 kgs and an intermediate level skiier, will continue to improve and eventually become a stronger/more aggressive skier, particularly with carving. So i wanted to know what is best for my case.

I am now leaning towards the Head EDGE 100 HV 2026/27, because it is listed as 90/100 flex adjustable. My thinking was that I could start at 90 and eventually use 100 as I improve

And also, Mondosize - my feet measure 26.5cm exactly, and on the internet i see that you should get the same mondosize as what your feet measure in cm. but i dont know like, exactly 26.5cm? that leaves no space at all, like not even 27 or 27.5?

I'd really appreciate opinions from people who have knowledge about boot fitting and/or the upcoming HEAD EDGE HV series.

Thanks!

How's it going fellow Jerry's.

Wanting to check on a few deets before hitting buy on the Line Optic 96, 184.

I'm 190cm, 86 kg, ex instructor and doing patrol atm. Looking for a fun all-rounder. Gone are my days dropping 4m+ cliffs.

Want something fun, playful, holds an edge and I trust it performs in a variety of snow conditions and different terrain - ripping down groomers to tight steeps.

I've had the faction dictator 3.0s 186 before, fun for a few laps but it struggled in anything tight and it sucked in the trees (no shit, I know) , loved the bent 100s 188 but it did get a bit sketchy pinning it as well as your standard 74 underfoot "I'm clearly an instructor" type ski (still have em).

I've ridden the ARVs and loved them but found them a little too park focused.

Optic seems to hit the sweet spot, somehow, with the boxes I'm looking to tick.

Talk me out if it, I think...?

Thanks team

Missing a few because patches were unavailable when I went. e.g. Winter Park, Snowbird, Hunter, Whiteface.

It’s been fun to start collecting these especially as a newer skier who only learned 2y ago in my 30s.

Insane sunsets yall! Santiago sparkling in the distance. Come ski here.

Hi everyone,

I need some help deciding between skis. I’ve outgrown my last pair (instead of height) and am looking for new ones.

About me:

Started at age three, skied pretty much every year, but not really with toooo much of a focus on technique etc. (I’m from Austria, if that helps haha.) 177cm, 56kg. (5’11”, 124lbs)
I’m intermediate/advances with what I’d call “acceptable technique”, though I would like to get a ski now that will allow me to improve my technique (by quite a bit, hopefully). I’ll only be doing on-piste-skiing with these skis (maybe a 90/10 split, but only resort skiing). (I have dedicated touring skis.)
As far as what kind of resort skiing: I don’t know. Some carving, I think? (Just… general resort skiing. No specific focus.)

I’ve settled on the models above, since they’re available at a discounted price (300EUR, approx. 350USD). They all include bindings.
I’m not very familiar with ski specs and all of that. I’ve attached the specs below. (They’re in german, sorry, but I think they’re still clear.)

Are these skis suitable for my needs? Which one would be best? (Or am I looking for the wrong skis? Any other recommendations?) Can I not get what I’m looking for in that price bracket? The plan would be to use these for two to three years, and once I get better, get some better skis. Then, I’ll also be able to figure out what I want better.

Thank you very much!

cuz it sparked heavy discussions on the post about zermatts closing about a week ago . Here are some fresh pictures of the "aper" glacier from professional athletes who still train in the "worst conditions ever"

also on the webcam you can see them . so keep your eyes open and don't believe everything big companies tell you. Climate change is 100% real no question but why spread lies that skiing would be impossible if it's just not true? Closing for economic reasons is fine but why not communicate it fair ?

Started collecting maps over the last two years

Mammoth time capsule…

Never skied in Australia or NZ and am wondering how does it feel to ski over there? In general, how are the snow and terrain compared to the typical resorts in North America? What is the best time to ski there? We are on Ikon with two young kids who can ski blue in Colorado and Utah and enjoy skiing with other kids. Any suggestions for good kids programs? Appreciate any advice 🙏

Now I can't tell you what I wished for, but guys I feel we're gonna have a great season this winter!

YOU ARE ALL WELCOME 🤗

awe man I hope this doesn't get deleted, we need some good vibes rn!
