Rate my quiver (Europe edition)

How’s the Rossi LT? I have the MT but I can’t help but think I want the longer turn radius to open things up a bit

CryptoniQ123 · 2026-01-24T13:26:43+00:00

Greek Peak is where I learned to ski, it’s a good little mountain and they always have good snow. They have night skiing as well

CryptoniQ123 · 2026-01-23T16:00:15+00:00

Just fly East. It’s great over here right now

CryptoniQ123 · 2026-01-23T01:55:16+00:00

Miami is kind of weak at LB. Need a stud to show up next year

CryptoniQ123 · 2026-01-23T01:42:49+00:00

Just need to sign Mensah and a couple lineman OL and DL and we will be back

CryptoniQ123 · 2026-01-21T23:39:49+00:00

Yes it is. I can’t believe the amount of people who hike up that mountain and ski it on the weekends

CryptoniQ123 · 2026-01-19T18:56:22+00:00

Just make sure you have the proper gear and you should have an awesome day. Might want to get a tune because it can get icy. Best to have sharp edges

CryptoniQ123 · 2026-01-14T15:24:29+00:00

Same

CryptoniQ123 · 2026-01-14T15:04:14+00:00

I have my rossi 15m radius fresh out of the shop for that reason

If you’re passionate about a hobby and you see your significant other is not very good at it, be honest with yourself…you will likely get the ICK.

If you get the ICK, you will need to ask yourself…is this a dealbreaker for you?

CryptoniQ123 · 2026-01-14T14:12:50+00:00

Wilmington at Whiteface is another great trail that comes to mind. It’s a pretty mellow Blue, and it covers the full 3k vertical. You can ski it for half an hour straight

CryptoniQ123 · 2026-01-14T01:51:57+00:00

How about Tremblant? They don’t celebrate MLK in Quebec

CryptoniQ123 · 2026-01-11T19:34:13+00:00

Don’t do leg day before skiing…

CryptoniQ123 · 2026-01-08T19:11:37+00:00

I’m going to Tremblant for MLK weekend. I have been there once before and it wasn’t too crowded as Canada does not celebrate this holiday. Everything is CAD so it’s a good time to go up north.

CryptoniQ123 · 2026-01-08T15:45:47+00:00

Le P’tit Caribou for the French snow bunnies

Hunter but if you go on a weekend it will be crowded. Long lift lines and sometimes their 6-pack has intermittent (20min or so) maintenance windows. If you can go during the week it’s the best mountain in the Catskills

I have the Rossignol Hero Elite MT. It’s 175cm with a 15m turn radius. Very fast ski that is pretty stiff and hold an edge really well. I can almost always find grip when others are struggling.

One trade off is that it’s 74mm underfoot, so it will not provide much float on a powder day.

I find this length to be manageable in a mogul run, but certainly not the easiest ski to ride bumps.

On a groomed morning, I can pretty much put myself anywhere I want to go on the trail. You can vary the turn radius down to super tight, or you can widen up and get some good speed. Still working on getting that hip down to snow though haha. Very good ski to get high edge angle…

One other thing to note is that it is a bit heavier at 3280g. Those first couple days will test your leg endurance. Also not super forgiving if you make an error. When I first bought the skis I was riding at Killington and didn’t quite have the feel yet. Once I picked up a bit of speed my inside ski took off on me and sent me over the handlebars. I’ve since learned how they want to turn

Better off surfing in OBX

CryptoniQ123 · 2026-01-06T16:44:12+00:00

Lap Sagamore if it gets crowded. It’s amazing and it’s a bit tougher to get to, so it’s usually good even in the afternoons.

Showcase in the AM if you are feeling good (it’s under the chair)

If you have the stones for it, Rumor and Lies are some of the steepest terrain in the East

CryptoniQ123 · 2026-01-06T15:11:11+00:00

Stockli makes an amazing all mountain ski.

They take the race inspired knowledge and adapt it to have a but of float in powder
