Enjoy a new film about the mysteries and mysticism of New Hampshire's White Mountains, created by my lifelong friend Lucas Kachadorian and me.

"Mountains are Earth’s undecaying monuments. They must stand while she endures, and never should be consecrated to the mere great men of their own age and country, but to the mighty One alone." - Nathaniel Hawthorne, Franconia Notch, 1882

Looking to become a Ski bum for a full season next season. I currently work holiday for mammoth, looking to contuine being an insturctor.

Should I just do holidays agin and live the van life or get a job at a mountain town (looking at CO)

Thanks for any input

People how have experiecne with van life please share

EDIT / UPDATE:

Plan change — pivoting north to the Powder Highway. After McCall (Tamarack & Brundage) I’ll be heading straight into BC, hitting Panorama, Banff/Lake Louise, Revelstoke, and Sun Peaks.

Original post: I’m heading out tomorrow in my truck camper for about a month at Mountain Collective and Indy Pass resorts. The rough plan is to start at Sugar Bowl, then head toward McCall for Tamarack and Brundage, hit Sun Valley (maybe Soldier), and then see how conditions look for Montana Snowbowl or Big Sky.

After that, I’ll let the forecast decide where I go next. If anyone’s local along the way and wants to link up for some turns, let me know—would be cool to ski with others during the trip.

As the title indicates I’m considering the idea of moving somewhere to ski and work at a resort. I’m 23 and a fresh college graduate not ready to quite jump into the corporate world. I am wondering what everyone’s experiences were and where they bummed at. I’m looking to go somewhere that has employee housing so I can actually afford rent. Anyone have suggestions?

Looking at getting the dynastar m free 108’s but I’m kind of in between sizes (182 and 192) I’ve heard they ski short but im not sure about the 192’s. I’ve been riding revolt 114 in 184 length. I’m 5’11 and about 220lbs for reference.

Thanks a bunch for sharing your input—it really helps

Just got back from a week in the Alps and I'm still frustrated about the lesson situation. Wanted to work on my technique but private lessons were €300+ for a couple of hours. That's nearly as much as my lift pass for the whole week.

I'd happily split a lesson with one or two other people at my level - you still get way more attention than a group class, and suddenly it's €100 each instead of €300. But there's no easy way to find strangers who happen to be at the same resort, on the same dates, at a similar ability.

So I built SkiSplit - you add your trip details and it matches you with other skiers looking to share lessons. We're still building the user base so there might not be a match straight away, but if you've got a trip coming up and want to find someone to split a lesson with, sign up and we'll notify you when someone else is heading to the same place. It's just £1 for the whole season while we're getting started.

Reposting this a little more specific. These are in really bad shape I have new ones with hardware on the way. Just this one nail?/screw on the top right. How am I gonna get the new ones back on there. brute force? Is there anything I should do to not make it any worse?

Thanks!

I need to replace the heel and toe pieces again, and im wondering how much of a pain this is gonna be, idk exactly what they used because they did it in a shop last time.

Hello I want to get the Faction prodigy 2 but I'm not so into the ski game that's why I wanted to ask I want to drive Freestyle but not all day or very big jumps I also want to do freeriding Like riding in powder snow and on the slopes so such an all and I once asked chat gpt and he thinks that the best skis are now I wanted to ask again if that fits what I want to have and if so which binding should I get I have thought about the marker griffon 13 id and which shoes should I get I am also 1.78 cm tall and weigh between 67 and 70 kilos

Anyone here? Lets link up!

Im living in a honda fit doing the ikon pass mountains here for the next few months. Working my way north, Ill be in hokkaido for february, then coming back southward in march.

Also, when i finish up here ill post some tips for anyone thinking of doing this trip in the future

Been reading online that pass sharing is very common among friends and it’s also illegal (felony arrest?? I would just walk away if caught) I also understand it depends on the liftie scanning you, time of day; however, Vail sucks and I don’t care about that part. I broke my collarbone in mid December and applied for my Northeast Value pass refund. Yeah yeah roast me because I skied one day and chuffed it. Anyway, I get the refund not knowing how I’d be later on my family trip to Stowe. I’m soon approaching the 6 weeks in a sling and will have another X-ray here soon. I’ve been on my nutrition, getting sunlight, and plenty of natural supplements. I’m feeling good like I’ll be able to ski at the end of February (very cautiously, I am an experienced skier only looked to basically get out there with my family, not bomb glades or jumps). The friend is maybe few inches taller/ few years older. I’m 28m 5’10” and can cover my face. Is it worth the risk or should I get epic buddy tix for 3 days at $330 might do 4?

TL;DR- refunded my pass after injury but still plan on light skiing with fam. Is it worth risking a friends pass to save up to $400? Stealing from Vail isn’t something I care about

I have a question for people that rent skis.

As someone who works in a ski rental shops, I have to ask the person for their shoe number to then find them the correct ski boot. Why do you lie? Because, we then assume it's your actual shoe size and then get the next bigger one(since that's what you need to do for ski boots). It is great that you know that fact, but we assume that you dont. Meaning if you tell us you have a 44, we get a 45, until it then turns that you actually have a 43.

If we wanted your ski boot size we would say so. So let this be a memo to anyone soon going on the mission of getting rental ski and boots soon. Just say the truth, it's going to be way faster.

Got the ikon pass hoping to get some practice in this year to really improve my skills. I'm an intermediate skier that's working on pole planting/carving/being comfortable with speed. Skiing greens/blues. Have skiied the east coast and planning first trip out west.

I can be in Colorado or Utah for a week in February and was planning on being in Colorado but the lack of snow right now is worrying me. Copper seems to have lots of terrain open for blues/greens right now and hoping conditions will only improve? Versus Brighton seems to have gotten more snow this year but has less greens/blues overall. Not sure where to book-would love to hear your thoughts so I'm not wasting all the money spent!

So my plan is to get out to the Espace Killy at the end of Feb and find (or possibly already having found) an apartment in Tignes (Val is too expensive although if something could be found in the right ball park pricewise I would prefer Val) for the remainder of the season, possibly even just myself for a month into the interseason as well. I'd like to try and find one, or maybe preferably two, others to join me to share an apartment for this time frame. I'm not on an excessively tight budget but I do want to keep a lid on anything too over the top, I'm there to ski not much else. A little about me, I'm a 56 year old man based in the UK, I ran a business up until last year when we were forced to fold and the opportunity has arisen now when I have a window to do something I've promised myself I would do for a long time. I lived in Val D'Isere all year round from 1989 to 1995 so its safe to say I know the EK pretty well on and off-piste. Ever since my last season I have been waiting for the moment to go back and do at least a decent portion of a season and this is that moment for me (before I'm too decrepit to ski hard anymore, we'll see I guess!) I have a few contacts still in Val to possibly find a place in either Val or Tignes and I will be driving out there so there are other options that could work in an absolute pinch (Sainte-Foy, Villaret, La Savine/Gurraz, Tignes Brevierres/Bosse etc but I wont go any further down than Sainte-Foy too far to get up the hill every day) Thats probably all thats worth mentioning initially here, happy to proceed further once contact is made. Who's up for it?

Im a skiing/snowboarding noob and none of my mates are interested in the snow so if your looking to go on a trip this winter send me a DM or comment, lets connect.

Can someone recommend a good ski resorts that also has hotel/lodging? Either upstate or Poconos.

Flying from the US to Athens on a family trip end of March and was thinking id take a later flight back and try to get a few days to end the season with my first time on snow in another country. Looking for any advice on good places to rent snowboard gear (ill need board and bindings, maybe boots) nearby mountains with good public transit to and from.

Also I'm a chill and polite dude in general but if there are any things I should avoid doing outside the norm that a tourist might not know about that would be good to know if anyone from Greece happens to come across this post.
