I know you will never see a return on modding or upgrading a sled, but there are things that need to be done to these machines to ensure they survive even 1 winter intact. (ie: tunnel stiffeners,...
So much sadness and loss for one day. First finding out JP and Andreas were gone, then Liz too... too much to comprehend. Hope they're all skiing pow in heaven. Rest in Peace Liz Daley... I always...
FYI, tunnel is the same thickness on a freeride as a summit. Same with the S-module, the only difference is 2 minor braces that attach A-arms to S-module. Freeride is wider running boards, different...
Technology stays the same for 3-4 years, they just like to make you think it's new and shiny. ;) You can get the t motion upgrade kit for a couple hundred bucks to make your 2010-2013 the same as a...

Hey guys!
I realize this is a shameless plug, but I thought it might be worth asking regardless. A few weeks ago during those crappy no sun/no light/icy days I went up skiing with my friend and...
Thank you everyone for your kind words, it truly means a lot.
As a girl embarking on a journey with this sport I was constantly told I couldn't come because I was a girl and would just slow the...
This is the end result, 6 years later. A lot of self-filming with tripods and a very steep learning curve!

Deep would be an understatement... the moment you step off your sled it was pits deep floundering madness.

Both times I hit it I took speed and straight-lined it no problems. That platform is pretty steep, in the video that's a total hipcheck to stop. If you need to turn to kill speed there are other...

Freeride has quite a few different components, like the snocross reinforced S-Module (which usually goes when you bust an a-arm, it's a 1500$ problem), rebuildable shocks, rail reinforcements,...
It's too bad, there should be some unspoken rule; stoke or GTFO.

I'm simply saying that people will post snowpack data in the threads in ski/snowboard regardless. To avoid confusion from people reading it who may not realize that they are separate areas personally...
Weird. The duffy is in an entirely different climate/snowpack zone from resort. Conditions & snowpack aren't even remotely similar. So we're making the south coast/north shore mountains/whistler...
