    Looking for advice. I've been skiing most of my life and have never had an issue with quads burning...until now. I was complaining about my very fatigued legs and so my friends analyzed my skiing. Verdict: backseat skiiing and (embarrassed to say) a bit of snowploughing! The day they observed me...

    Freeride Ski Recommendations

    Hi! I've been skiing Blizzard Black Pearls for 7 years. They were my first pair of skis, and I feel like it's time for a change! Searching for skis is a bit overwhelming--it feels like all of the reviews say the same things, so it's hard to tell the difference. I was hoping someone could impart...

    First time buyer: Best way to pick a pair of skis?

    Warning: Big newbie to the ski purchasing world, so some of my questions are probably very basic... For reference, I ski all over New England on the east coast, 5' 7", 165 lbs, and am just getting comfortable with speed and more confidence overall. I'd consider myself solidly intermediate at...
