I think they screwed up royally by denying her the opportunity to race with the men at the WC event in Lake Louise but am interested in your views on the subject

Do you think that the new FIS rule for the 12/13 gs season to increase the radius from 27 to 35 will make the sport more dangerous instead of making it safer. Personally I believe making the shape of the ski less aggressive will just force the racers to be more aggressive and put more strain on the knees.

My friends tell me I'm really good at it and I do Dusty's almost every day. I've even won a competition or two but just don't know where all the beer-drinking scouts are. I'm not even choosey, I'd be willing to drink most brands if I got paid to(even if someone would buy the next round)

Also what size and brand is right for me?

Just finished waxing some skis and was thinking that a roto-brush would be a good investment if only for the final polish. Do any of you use a roto-brush and is it that much better and quicker then my hand brushes?

I'm forever turning over ski junk. Can't stop buying new boards,yes I know I have a problem(I'm a new ski addict) and don't have the room to keep them all so I was just wondering what do you do with your old boards and boots; Ski Swap, sell on craigslist or donate to charity. I usually give them to friends and family.

Just for giggles I might give them to the 4 millionth person who asks "What's the best ski for....?" that will probably be sometime tomorrow

I've been loyal to RIM for years but lately with all the updates(rarely does a day go by when I don't have an update) and unexpected glitches and freeze-up I'm losing patience with my BB. I'm also starting to believe that update is blackberry code for "you use this app too much so we're going to render it useless". I've heard that RIM is going to launch a new os that will fix all these problems. I miss the reliability of my older BBs and wonder if I'm gonna experience the same trouble with the next gen BB as I've had with this new Bold or should I just move on to an i-Phone

I had a crummy day trying to get some virgin skiers up and down some pretty easy terrain today and was left wondering why on earth these dummies would drop 12 large/person for a 6 pack day of heliskiing when everything they could handle was at the resort. Heck a 4 run pkg would have saved them $200 but they insisted that they were experts and wanted the full vertical. Just to make the day really pathetic these corporate jag-offs complained that they were getting stiffed because I was taking them on small hills....duh!!! 1st run took two hours(normally only 45min).

I think that I ski better, smoother and more fluid while listening to my ipod. I have a playlist for steeps and another for tree glades. I'm probably imagining that it really helps but was wondering if I'm the only one who thinks music improves my technique.

I'm currently using Line Prophet 115 and Dynastar Legend Pro 115 for powder days but want a more lively ski for the trees here at Blackcomb. Any suggestions?

On my last trip I UPSed my equipment to the hotel so all I travelled with was a carry-on bag. Anyone else have any suggestions to make ski travel easy

Twice now the switch on 1 ski(I haven't inside edged these skis so don't know if it's the same ski but I'm thinking it might be) turned to soft...on it's own or maybe bumped in liftline. Is this something that just happens with these skis or are mine broken?

What advantages are there to carbon ski poles and are they worth the extra cost?
