I ran a search, and although there are plenty of discussions on helmets generally, there didn't seem to be one on the topic of proactive replacement. I have had my helmet for 8 or 9 seasons. I like it, it is comfortable, it was adaptable for Bluetooth earphones which I love, but it is...

Hi All! So, after years of thinking about booking a helicopter or cat skiing trip, and with Warren Miller's famous tagline echoing in my head, I finally decided to spearhead a trip for my 40th birthday in February with a few of my skiing friends. We settled on cat skiing over heli skiing. We...

So my in-laws got me a GoPro Hero 3+ Silver Edition (with mounts, battery pack, and memory card) for Christmas. Terrific, thoughtful gift, but I don't think I will ever put up with the silly looking head mount of a GoPro nor the restrictive (but better) chest mount. For years I have loved the...

I searched and couldn't find a forum post on this. I wear a helmet that has built-in speakers (Smith Variant Brim) and use my iPhone 4GS (with Siri) for both music and to (rarely) take calls while skiing. I bought the helmet almost two years ago, and since then I have been able to do this with...

I've known of Campgaw for some time, and always wanted to check it out. Well, this Saturday, I got the chance. Campgaw is a tiny hill in northern New Jersey, a few minutes off 287 south of Mahwah. It is owned by Bergen County. I believe it has about 250 vertical feet. The hill has a decent...

Anyone have any recommendations on where to eat and drink in Aspen? We know it will be expensive, but are always looking for bang for our buck of course. Most importantly, what trails should we not miss? I've skied a week in Aspen but that was 15 years ago and I don't remember too much, and...

So reads the link on the main page of ESPN. Interesting article, I guess it makes sense though I do have mixed feelings about it. http://espn.go.com/action/freeskiing/story/_/id/7715284/kristi-leskinen-issues-survey-ski-snowboard-slopestyle-athletes

to continue to try to land my first 3? Here was the result on Saturday, complete with my edge catching and a hard, hard fall. I'll let everyone comment and take criticism and then give some back story if necessary: Us8yowC72Yw

Hello all, our second ski day of our honeymoon here in Zermatt, and after a self guided day 1, today we ski with a guide starting at 10 am. We just found out that our guide is the hotelier of the swankier-than-we-are-used-to resort where we are staying. I believe the custom with ski guides is to...

Anyone been to Zermatt? Our honeymoon is coming up next month, and we are especially looking for dining suggestions, though I am also interested to see if there are particular ares on which to concentrate for skiing... We've booked our hotel and we get a guide for 3 hrs our first day as part...

Hello everyone! Been mostly MIA for the last few months...started a new job in April, and then was planning and preparing for our wedding, which occurred last weekend (and went well!). We are now up at our condo on a "minimoon" (left Wednesday after work), really just designed to have us...

I demo'd these the other day and LOVED them. They were awesome carving, seemed to do well on the few hardpan/scratchy spots I found to test them on, and they were even good in the moguls. Obviously they will be good in pow and chop and woods. Mount Snow Sports is having a sale (like...

Well, I've been skiing a ton (new job starts April 4th...so I've been trying to ski as much as possible--if anyone is at Mt. Snow midweek the next few weeks, let me know) and have totally been slacking on TR's. However,today was so ridiculous that I feel the need to chime in. Mt. Snow was...

Anyone else seen it? I've seen the first 4 episodes, and at times, I was crying with laughter. Very well done, imo.

I wasn't there but I know someone had to be! How was it? How were the lines/crowds?

If one were looking for a current ski that was similar to the K2 Public Enemy from a few years ago (I believe mine are 2008s), what might be good to look at?

Anyone know for sure that any of the Skullcandy audio kits advertised on the Smith website fit the Smith Variant Brim helmet? I ask because, while Smith does sell a version of the Variant Brim with the audio already in place, it does so only in black. I would love to get the red Variant Brim...

What's it like out there guys? Also, how are the bumps at Blue and Camelback? Anyone been to Shawnee?

There are already posts for 2/11 and 2/13 so I will throw one in for 2/12. Mountain skied well on Saturday, though there is definitely some scratch coming through later in the day. We were out for AM Express a touch after 7:30 and got 5 runs in before meeting the rest of our crew at 8:30...

I started this as a reply to another TR for Saturday, but I thought better to start a separate TR for Sunday and Monday (took today off to ski). I watched Saturday afternoon as the wintry mix switched back and forth so many times I don't remember the whole progression. A couple of our friends...
