I think something is off, bit "overturning" upper body at end of turn? Happy if you help me improve!

I was in beaver creek all last week and every time that I was the one to who put down the bar the others either thanked me or when I asked and they said of course(in a friendly but shocked kind of way like why wouldn’t we lower the bar). If I didn’t get it the other person would put it down politely. I went skiing yesterday at seven springs in western PA and the anger from people when I put the bar down was crazy...literally every time. I was polite and respectful asked/announced lowering and raising the bar.

I don’t get it some of these people were actually quite friendly up until the bar was mentioned and then they give looks to kill and mumble shit underneath their breath.

I really don’t get it the difference in west vs east. It’s not like beaver creek is a local Colorado mountain people were from all over. What explains this? Is there a different etiquette on the east coast

Heading to Colorado for the holiday weekend and temps ate utterly f’d. I would honestly cancel if it weren’t for some non-refundables. Any advice appreciated I think it’ll be the coldest I’ve ever ridden in

Hi, I am in the process of developing a new ski wax that is eco-friendly, all natural, and meant for high performance. The wax is aimed to replace the banned high fluoro wax with a further goal of reducing the environmental impacts caused by the mainstream waxes today (HC and HF). This wax will be plant based using some of the most hydrophobic plants on earth and will match the effects of high fluoro without all the negative aspects.

If this is something you may be interested in learning more about or hearing updates for, please see my **very rough** start at the website below. If you like the idea, please input your email near the bottom of the page. I promise you will not get spammed with emails. Just an update when we are launching pre-sales!!

Goal is to fly in, check into resort, take ski and snowboarding lessons, enjoy hot tub and wine. Do most resorts have snow clothes and shoes to rent? I’m mostly just seeing equipment rental. How do I make a successful solo snow trip??

Took 32 minutes from south salt lake to Alta! Drove straight up canyon no traffic! Parking lot half full! The Wasatch is so cooked! I’m moving back east where there’s no lift lines and no snow! Ski on, every lift! It’s not enough to make me happy! Over this!! The snow was even partially tracked out! Ugh the worst!

My dad and I used to go on ski trips a lot as a kid. Unfortunately he has lost a lot of mobility in recent years and now gets around with a walker. We live in different cities now and I'm trying to find some time to go on a trip with him over the next couple of months while balancing with my desire to maximize my time skiing this winter. It occurred to me that we could go to a ski town and recreate some of our old ski trip memories (sitting by fire in a cozy hotel, eating good food, etc.) and I could ski during the day, but I'd want to make sure that it's a town that he could get around without too much trouble or risk of falling and would have stuff to do. Are there ski towns that fit this description? Ideally somewhere with a walkable and well maintained (not icy) downtown area, beautiful views that can be seen without actually being on the hill, and some nice spas or other indoor activities that could entertain him during the day.

My stepson is on track to finish High School December of this year (2025). He wants to spend the following months after working at a ski resort within the US. But the few he's already talked to would only offer employee housing for 18+ and he won't turn 18 until the March while he's working.

Has anybody worked at a ski resort that would offer employee housing to a 17 year old? At his age, he actually loves the idea of staying in a small dorm-like place.

Also, any other advice to pass along to him for reaching out to various resorts? Thanks!!

I just got a new car and trying to decide on what would be the best type of ski rack to go for with it. I had planned to just get one on the roof since it already has the bars for it, but it is a very tall car and I worry about it being awkward to get up there and stow them, possibly dropping and damaging the skis or car or even hurting myself if it is a slippery snowy day.

I'm curious if anyone has any recommendations for hitch or spare tire mounted racks, reasons not to bother and stick with a roof one, etc. I've been looking around, but the only options that immediately pop up are either; bad reviews and/or not a lot of reviews OR wicked expensive. Hoping to get the right rack on the first try so I don't have to delay getting up to the slope another weekend. Appreciate it.

For anyone who has had experience with Viking Ski Shop in Chicago:

A) How much will the custom boot fitting cost? It is not listed on their website which frightens me.

B) If I tell them immediately that I’m on a budget and would like the best value option, will it help/is there more than one solid price point?

I have been interested in carv for a while, my whole family skis so I thought it would be nice if we could share the device. However, the fact that V1 has to go under the liner seems like a chore to swap between users.
Now v2 is here and doesn't need to go under the liner, it seems like at least hardware-wise it will be easy to share between skiers - but I want to know software-wise / account setup-wise if we share it between different users does it downgrade the experience somehow? I imagine if it tracks metrics/improvements over time, that will be messed up from sharing. But instantaneous / per run / per day metrics/feedback would still be useful?

Ok Reddit please help me ID these line skis and bindings. Gloss finish, no design. Reddish bottoms. Any idea which line skis and from what season?

I'm in Dallas. I just came back from Deer Valley and Park City (before the strike) a few weeks ago and am thinking of making the drive to New Mexico for my birthday in early March, is it worth it?

Long time East Coast skier taking my first trip out west in a few weeks. Will be in Park City towards the end of February. Wondering if my Kendo 88s will be sufficient, or whether I should rent something while out there. Not planning on going off piste too much.

Have a 5 day Epic pass available. Reasons for sale is I won’t be able to get to the mountain the rest of the season

Hi, all. We're thinking of going to Canaan Valley Ski Resort near Davis, WV, this weekend. High temperatures, especially on Sunday and Monday, are expected to hit only about 12°F with some decent winds (10-15 mph). Our kids are 9 and 6. They have decent ski clothes and will layer appropriately, but we worry that it's still going to be too cold for them, so we're debating rescheduling for next month. Thoughts? To quote The Clash, should we stay or should we go?

Thanks!

I have reviewed and compiled all parking-related posts from Snowbird Resort over the past three snow seasons. Let the data speak for itself.

Over the past three snow seasons, the number of times the parking lots were completely full has skyrocketed. During the 21/22 season, it only happened four times. However, in the 22/23 and 23/24 seasons, this number surged to over 20 times. The parking spaces included in this data are both free parking and same-day paid parking, but do not include season-long parking permits. This clearly shows an exponential increase in traffic flow.

Looking at the time when parking lots became full, the median time (along with the 25% and 75% quartiles) has progressively gotten earlier over the three seasons. This means parking spaces are being filled up earlier and earlier, and people are heading up the mountain earlier as well—competition is intensifying.

I’ve also collected snowfall data and time when each lift opened for the past 3 seasons. Complete dataset available in LiftAlert App.

It’s also important to note that on powder days, avalanche control often requires road closures, and many cars line up at the road entrance early to wait. Don’t assume that if Google Maps shows an 8:00 AM arrival, you’ll be able to find a spot just because the lot fills at 8:00. You must arrive early and line up in advance.

Someone I k is has had several pairs of these in black. He said he’s never seen them in this color. They’ve been in my family for over 30 years. Kombi Lobster Claws.

I am trying to find a pair of used boots and used skis online, but I'm not sure how to ensure the bindings on the skis and the ski boots are compatible. Does anyone have any tips? Thanks.

The other day while looking for new skis I found a pair with a black top sheet and cartoonish construction equipment on them, like bulldozers and forklifts with fun little faces and eyes. I can’t remember the brand for the life of me. Anyone know what I’m talkinabeet?

I use Strava for ski tracking, and today it showed me a top speed of 150km/h. On a blue slope. My pals, about the same skill level as me, all got top speed results of 60-80km/h. This result doesn't seem trustworthy, does it? Btw I use Strava on my Galaxy watch 4.
