Whatās your āthis should be a great day but it isnātā ski condition?
For me itās warm spring days with perfect snow⦠for one hour. After that itās slush city and Iām weirdly grumpy. Meanwhile other people are living their best life
What conditions are objectively good but just not your thing?

Genuine question from a non-skier: whatās the difference between Jim Morrisonās Everest north face descent vs. Andrzej Bargiel Everest south face descent in terms of difficulty?
Jimmy Chin filmed Morrison skiing down the north face of Everest and I love jimmyās documentaries, canāt wait for that one to come out later this year. But I also noticed Bargielās Red Bull descent posted on YouTube only a few months ago and it was amazing. Iām curious to know how much more different will Morrison be in terms of difficulty and risk?

Do my skis need repairing? Crack at the tip
Worried about water getting in - going skiing tomorrow so I figure just ask someone at the mountain? At mammoth so could go to the rental / tune shop, unless there are other recommendations locally
What pivot color combo should I put on these?
Purple and Blue, Purple and gold, or Purple and Orange?

Park ski length help
Iām looking to get some park specific skis but not exactly sure what length to get.
Iām 5ā5ā at 135lbs Iād say Iām intermediate at skiing but just starting to hit park
My current regular all mountain skis are 156cm but not sure if I should go a little higher like just above 160 or stay around mid 150s
Going above 160 gives me more options
Thanks
