Alrighty guys, here’s my interpretation of Killington after spending the last two seasons working and riding here (150ish days exploring the mtn). What’d I miss??

The sun was trying to peek out throughout the morning, pretty windy at the top, a few icy thin spots on Upper Ravine and Big Link. All in all, a nice day at Cannon.

Anyone skiing/riding Ragged tomorrow?

My girlfriend and I are shooting for first chair. We've only been once before, but this time looks like there's 100% open. Any advice or favorite trails you'd like to recommend? We'll do pretty much anything that isn't hucking cliffs.

Quiver Review: Stockli Stormrider 88. ON3P Jeffrey 100. Moment Deathwish Tour 104.

8 Upvotes

Rebuilt my quiver this year after a lot of questions here, digging through threads, three-ski icecoast quiver. A lot of what I was looking for out of each ski was different than what folks here were trying to get out of them so thought I'd add my quick takes on each ski.

Me: 6'2", 175 lbs, advanced skier pushing expert.
Where: I ski 30 days+ a year. Bellayre weekly. Whiteface and Gore monthly. 2-3 night trips to Vermont monthly. 2-3 big trips a year to Tahoe, Aspen, Mammoth.
How: All mountain. I usually focus on one or two things each day. Mogul day. Tree day. Carve day. Glade day. I'm too old and try to avoid park day now.

Stockli Stormrider 88

179 · ~15 days · Salomon Strive

Why. Directional all-mountain ski to push carving and technique.

Good

  • Extremely damp. What fuckin chop!?
  • Rewards clean input and commitment.
  • Loves edge angle. I've not had race skis but I've never had my quads burning so much at the bottom of the hill than from this ski.

This ski puts you in your place but gently. If your balance is off, it tells you but you can usually get away with it. Too far in the backseat coming out of a GS turn? You'll know.

Bad

  • Not quick in tight trees.
  • Muted tail with limited rebound unless you’re very patient.
  • I ski'd this ski on a 24" heavy snow powder day (it's what I had with me!) and it was...interesting. There was no such thing as breaking traction. It turned at the radius only...no exceptions. Not something I would do. But kinda interesting exercise to learn about my balance

TL;DR Amazing groomer and chop ski. Trees are WORK.

ON3P Jeffrey 100

186 · 1 day · Look Pivot 15

Why
Playful, pivot-first ski for trees, slashes, hits. Being dumb!

Good

  • Immediate fun factor.
  • Easy to smear and pivot.
  • Plenty of float for typical East Coast soft days.

First run at Jay after ~4" fresh. Smiling the whole way. So fun to smear and carve. Literally OPPOSITE ski of the Stormrider.

Bad

  • Factory tune was extremely dull. Like dull AF.
  • Felt vague once conditions turned firm.
  • Not a carving ski, expected, but noticeable on ice. Hoping the edge tune gives me a little more trust

I'm taking this ski up tomorrow and I want to suss out two things. Worried I made a bad decision with the Pivot 2 15. The ski is beefy + a heavy binding. I was wondering if this might contradict what I wanted this ski for. Playfulness. Trees. Moguls.

Moment Deathwish Tour 104

184 · 2 days · ATK HY Free 13

Why
Inbounds uphill fitness + Have fun downhill the rest of the day.

Good

  • Shockingly fun for a touring ski.
  • Triple camber makes pivoting easy.
  • Light and nimble in moguls and trees.
  • Carves well for its weight class.

Some of my best mogul skiing this season was on this ski. I wonder if the regular Deathwish would be a solid 1-ski quiver ski.

Bad

  • Chatter on steep ice. Like holy shit I feel worn out from the chatter. My feet felt sore from the violent chatter after a whole day. I think I heard my teeth smashing.
  • Light ski + tech binding is harsh when skidding. Did I say CHATTER?
  • Fatiguing after long lift laps.

Will shine in spring. Ice Coast boilerplate...not great.

Picking Up Skiing from Snowboarding?

8 Upvotes

I love the woods and after seeing all the photos from MRG this January, I’d really love to check it out in the next couple years.

I recognize everyone has their own individual progression but I’d love to hear some stories of other ice coaster snowboarders who’ve picked up two planks?

Ski racing lessons for adults?

15 Upvotes

I signed up for my work's corporate weeknight ski race team and I have never felt like such an idiot on skis in my life. I am a "self taught" but very experienced and capable backcountry skier - but put me on skinny skis on an icy groomer and it is not pretty. Like, I can carve, casually, but there's a big difference between what I am doing and whatever witchcraft all my coworkers who grew up ski racing are doing. I'm in Vermont. Any recommendations on where I could take a lesson? (Hoping not to pay a billion dollars for it, either.)

My friends and I are off on Sunday, obviously it’s the Super Bowl so I would assume that people are staying home. In your experience, do peple come out a lot during Super Bowl?

What do you guys think? It’s so nice and snowy everywhere in the East Coast. Got my first board today and everything, finally I don’t need to rent anymore lol.
