    Wanted: Western Bump & Crud/Chop Ski

    DH wants me to try out my Nordica Wildfires this trip. They are 162 and 105 underfoot. Given how poorly I am skiing on my shorter and narrower Volkl Blaze, I'm curious if this could possibly be a good idea.

    Pass details and pricing 24/ 25- Ikon, Indy, Epic, MCP etc

    I had on online chat with Epic customer service today. They confirmed that the Buddy passes will not be available after the 14th. However, the cost of the pass will not increase for an unspecified amount of time.

    Ski sickness / Hausler's

    Just rereading this thread. I have developed balance issues. My skiing and even my walking is affected. I am going to get a prescription for PT to work on balance. I should probably get my inner ear checked out as well. What type of specialist would I see to look into this?

    New to Total Joy: snowplowing????????

    Sticky and grabby. When I returned to skiing last April I swore I wouldn't ski in slush. But since we skied into July I certainly didn't follow that vow.

    Thanks @marzNC . I have been trying to determine the deadline for the lowest price excluding Buddy passes. Sounds like it's still April 14.

    Valle Nevado in Chile

    Agreed. The slopes are mainly intermediate but can be a lot of fun particularly in fresh powder.

    Osteoporosis and skiing

    And mine. Was on Fosamax but was switched to Prolia as faster acting due to my desire (need?) to continue skiing.

    Looking for a goldilocks ski: low 80s, damp, lightweight, turny

    There's a lot of love on here for the Volkl Blaze W 86. It's very light and easy to turn. And more stable due to the slightly wider platform.

    The Big Break

    Sorry to hear this @Kathy Bennett . I broke my tibia fibula femur and destroyed my artificial knee in December 2021. It took me 16 long months to return to skiing. This was by far my biggest injury. I took a private lesson on my first day back to ease me back onto the slopes. I think it helped...

    Lets talk chairlifts

    I have always had a strong preference for being on the outside right. I find it easier to make a hard right turn, or to swing far outside when turning left.

    Help Needed: I am afraid of the bunny hill.

    I got "gripped" the other day at Mammoth on a slope that never gives me any trouble. I had intended to ski a different run but the wind was so strong I just couldn't get to it. When I finally made it down I took a break in the lodge then quit for the day. I just couldn't overcome the demons in...
