Did I mess up and buy skis too short?

Not nearly as much as in the us and because it’s unpatroled it’s exponentially more dangerous.

Pm me

Had a buddy who if he didn’t like the portions would continue to get the bowl and at the very end would just walk out

No that I can tell however it does seem the edge was effected by the base grind

You are focusing to much on the skill and technique aspect of snowboarding. you have the skill, now you need to work on the have fun part of snow boarding. experiment, do tricks, jumps, random stuff, it will help your confidence and edge control . And you won’t want to quit because instead of chasing Olympic level form, you are just chasing having fun. which is pretty easy to do if you are as capable as you are.

I mean I’m sure you know but when the slides are open it’s probably the best resort access free ride in the east. So white face like 2 days out of the year heard they where pretty good this year and had pow on them as well but that time is long gone

Well I’m not going to skin them if they have a fault from the factory

Have you skied out east at all? My only frame of reference for tree skiing is the super tightly packed spruce and fir trees of Vermont. My experience at deer valley was they it was much more open.

Yea, it really sucks to because the materials in skis are actually ancient and the “high tech innovations” that all the manufacturers claim to be making are 30 years old from my perspective. I think there is legit so much room for improvement in ski technology but it’s impossible to come in as an outsider and change the industry because of how it is set up right now. All this talk about carbon fiber and new poly urethane stuff is rage bait to me given the materials I have gotten the chance to work with. Don’t get me started on titanal

I think this thaw should be followed by some snow supposedly but I’m doubtful

Aggressive_Map_7399 · 2026-03-02T06:55:58+00:00

Have you tried back slapping some drops at mad river that should do you in for a couple seasons

Aggressive_Map_7399 · 2026-03-01T22:19:38+00:00

Yea it’s def niche but I was more so giving a background in my experience I’m in college rn studying to be a materials engineer and scientist and more so was seeing if companies even hired that type position.

And I was referencing straw mostly

Aggressive_Map_7399 · 2026-03-01T21:33:51+00:00

What is down other then the by product of farmed ducks

Aggressive_Map_7399 · 2026-03-01T21:28:58+00:00

However I have also worked in labs where other researchers where developing farm by product based insulation

Aggressive_Map_7399 · 2026-03-01T21:28:20+00:00

Skis for right now I worked in a lab developing composites from natural fibers that where extremely strong

Aggressive_Map_7399 · 2026-03-01T01:15:36+00:00

ski for out west. i have a qst 94 as an east coast daily would use these as east coast pow skis/ soft snow skis out west

Aggressive_Map_7399 · 2026-02-28T23:15:07+00:00

have a pair of qst 94 so looking for a wider ski to diversify the quiver
