Well, if anyone is wondering, north facing things are extra shitty right now. Instavid from Tuesday: http://instagram.com/p/vT3PZAD2uD/?modal=true

We wanted to ski the Birkenstock and had hoped...

This is from a week ago during that one storm, but hey why not. Wedgemount glacier on the way back from the Wedge NW couloir....

a bit less than two hours on the bike got us up to that one pillow zone below the spanky's return. we took our sweet time on the way up, too, so if you cranked a bit harder, you could go a bit faster.

Guilty as charged, I guess! Snow was pretty tasty in there, and even if setting the bootpack did suck, it was worth doing once. Couldn't figure out how to embed video from instagram, but here's a...

Awesome. This is the shit I wish more of my friends were stoked about

Hey guys, I've been considering buying a pair of Converts in a 188 for a general touring/mountaineering ski. Many of the reviews I've read so far seem to have been more concerned about measured vs....

Any stoke for an inbounds pow shred edit from this week?

Thanks for all the tips with the skins guys, and I'm glad you like the shots!

Yeah, working on it. I need new skins, too... somehow some of the glue just stayed on my bases when I peeled them off. Probably something to do with how warm it was and how little wax those skis have...

From there, it's quick cruising. I skin quickly across the Garibaldi glacier to the bottom of the Neve. I think about beginning up the slope leading to the ridge, but decide to catch a bit of rest on...

A week ago Thursday, I got a phone call asking if I needed a ride to Squamish.

"We're going hiking."

They agree to drop me off at the Elfin Lakes trailhead on their way to Panorama Ridge, and...

It;s Wednesday night, and it's my freakishly tall friend Rene's birthday. After two or three beers, we head home and sit around talking on the deck. The late night summer air is simultaneously warm...

Yeah, you've heard horror stories of all the places to go filling up super early, and that's because they're universally true on NYE. What people don't usually tell you about is the natural...

Thought I'd stop in to check up on you guys... I wish you good luck with this season! Being in Vancouver now, I didn't realize it's still early season in Tahoe—we had a size 4 slide a few days ago....

I busted a pair of Griffon demos last season (the springs went soft on me and released all the time, had them tested and they failed) and Evan Haines broke a pair during the Banzai Downhill race at...

lunchtime bump

I'll be mounting them on a pair of Line Opuses, and I'm down for a trade with you. Naturally I'd prefer the dukes to be in as good a shape as possible, but I'll take what I can get. My parents are...

I just realized how small those pictures are....

I have a pair of 2011 Jesters that I mounted on my pow skis last year, 4 mellow pow days before the end of my season. They replaced a pair of bindings that went bad, so in my paranoia, they were...

Stay in for NYE, wake up early, and ski pow on an empty mountain the next day while everyone else fights their hangover... it's been my New Years plan for my whole life, and it usually has worked out...

Just droppin' in to say hello and get my stoke on! Tahoe transplant here, it's my first year at UBC and I can't wait to get it on at Whistler. See you all around the hill, when the season gets under...

I'm getting interest over on NS right now, and someone is going to come over and check them out on the weekend. If that doesn't go anywhere, you're in my mind.

And the bases are really not *that*...

Precisely. If you will take care to look at my thing-under-my-username, you might notice it says "Newschoolers JONG".
This might indicate that the majority of this post was copy-pasted from my post...

Bump me up buttercup baby don't ya let me down!

Hello, maggots!

Do you like skiing?
How about skiing powder?
When you ski powder, would you like to feel like GOD?

Then you have visited the correct "For Sale" posting!

I am selling a...

Alpine today was fantastic, even if I did leave early. Idiots is still skiable, though the closed sign deterred me today. Maybe tomorrow or Monday.

I work at my LBS and the most reliable posts have been Gravity Droppers and RS Reverbs. The Joplin we've had nothing but problems with— they're always broken one way or another. On the other hand...

Reporting from North Lake Tahoe! Most of our trails are still buried in many, many feet of snow, though the snow is melting quickly. I neglected to shoot anything on yesterday's ride... if I ride...

Welp, looks like a change of plans makes longboard day inaccessible to me... Oh well

It's looking like Alpine Saturday, Squaw Sunday for me as well.

Today at AM was stellar- though I didn't get many runs in, those I got were amazing. I skied mostly bottomless pow, though in some...

I've already got it prepared.

Tangentially related: Red Bull Schlittentag is this Saturday. Anyone interested in causing a ruckus on snowlerblades, bring snowlerblades.

I'm in... if 207 Elans are close enough.

Hey now, it was all in good fun... :fm:

Today was an amazing sleeper pow day. There was nobody there- fresh tracks through Peril chute to the Face, Palisades to Deer Camp, and Secret. Scott's...

Pole whackin sesh at the top of sunspot? Sounds familiar, I can't remember where I've heard that before.

Today was good fun- keyhole was firm but grippy, and the park was pretty fun. The jumps...

Very nice. My day was similar, in that I had
1 Estelle, 3 High T (one out to the knife edge before Grouse) an Inner Outer Outer, and 3 Condo runs, 2 from Fallopian Tubes.

I quite happily laid...

Third non-patroller track down Estelle (mine's the sexy one under Castle), over to pond...

Alpine was awesome today, though stories of KT and Headwall have me wishing there were more steep terrain open. Keyhole was amazing; I got an early(relatively) run in there. With the exception of...

Now I remember why I can never remember your username; it's jumbled letters and numbers. Figures you program computers.

Whoops, not you. Someone else, who I have thought for the last few months was you.

CONFIRM.

I got there nice and early, before the bombs started booming, even. They let us out of the lodge at around 8:00ish, and a line quickly formed. First chair was awesome. Second was...

I'll be driving up tomorrow evening; hopefully the road isn't too too terrible... On the bright side, for the first time in weeks I'm looking forward to waking up at ~6:00 AM for 4 days in a row!

SO windy in the Bay... where are you at? It's blowing pretty hard at my house... I'm looking forward to snow, too; I wonder how unstable the snowpack can get with these winds and the expected fresh...

Feel free to attribute any and all snow fall and accumulation over the course of the next week to my inability to participate in skiing activities, as participant or spectator, due to the fact that I...

TGR tends to be relatively useless for park information. It's a wonderful resource for a lot of things, but for park scope out newschoolers.com. The search function is useless, but try it first...

I quite like my Neons, but I would not likely buy them again— there are just so many other skis that fit my needs better nowadays. That said, they're a fantastic ski and they continue to serve me...

Ass :cussing:

Looks awesome!

I skied in a Solly Xwave 10 for a few years before they needed replacement. I've got the same foot situation as yourself- relatively wide with a high arch. What I've found works stupidly well for...

Pink is for corrections.
Those who can't do. . . :biggrin:


See you out there

My back got way better way faster than I expected it to be. It's not back 100% yet, but I'm feeling good enough to test it out tomorrow... takin' it easy at Alpine will be my game.

Thanks for the support guys, my back is feeling pretty messed up right now, but the Vitamin I is definitely helping out. My left-side ribs are a little bruised where I landed, and my right-side back...
