Getting stickers to stay permanently on skis
Hello everyone! Kind of a weird one here, but I really like customizing my skis with stickers. One tradition I have is to add bird stickers to the backs of my skis, after a childhood pair of skis I had with little eagles on the back of them. I got a pair of nice rainbow thunderbird stickers to... -

Replace current skis or add to quiver?
Hey, all! Just found this site and hoping you can impart some of your wisdom on me. About me: early 40s, 5’9, 160lbs. Live on the ice coast, erm, I mean east coast. I would consider myself a strong intermediate skier. I can confidently ski all of the trails at our local mountain, including the... -

Blizzard Black Pearls - 2015 still good?
I found a pair of used blizzard black pearl 88s for <$200. After having demo’d these through the years, I’m seriously considering! That said, they’re the model from ~2015 … what tech upgrades have happened through the years? Will 2015s still suffice if they’re in good condition? I saw there was... -

Help Needed: Rosi Soul 7 hd w or pandora line 104?
Hi Ladies, I’ve just sold a couple of my old skis and would like to reinvest the money in some new skis. I am looking for something appropriate for Colorado weather. That will do good in powder but also be stiff enough on groomers/hard pack/some ice. I bought k2 fulluvit 96 last year and hated... -
Ski Recommendations for lightweight skier
Hi everyone! I've been skiing for about 10 years, usually just a week or two each season. I'd consider myself to be an advanced intermediate skier (and most of my friends would agree). Since I don't ski too much and don't have a lot of storage space in my apartment, I generally rent, but I'm... -

Question: Demo day + new skis + arts & crafts advice?
Hello divas! I had a fantastic demo day recently at Stevens Pass! 2020 Volkl Yumi vs. 2019 Blizzard Black Pearl 88 vs. 2020 Rossignol Experience 88, and I fell in love with the Black Pearls. The Yumis took too much effort to get to do the turn shapes I wanted (I felt like I was just along for... -

New Skis? Former Racer
Hey gals! I'm looking at moving onto a new set of skis, but I'm not even sure where to start looking. I've been on Atomic race skis since I was 11, so the idea of moving away from the race models can be intimidating. When I've gone into the stores that are close-ish to me, they've been... -
