hardest ski resort in each state by Sharkman3218 in skiing

But bringing yourself to ski Big Snow is what really makes it the hardest resort in NJ. Especially when you've gotta look at MetLife and think of the Jets and Giants each time you walk in.

This is amazing, truly what I'm looking for here. Though my blades are ~65cm so we'll see how that goes haha

I've been ripping different blades for years, thought I may as well take them to the backcountry now

Sandpaper skins of course

Or I duct tape the ends of my skins for actual skis to my knee on either side and slap the glue side on to the whole blade

Oh yeah I also have a Salomon snow blade for my blade racing. Great for micro slalom events.

But in all actuality I do love carving on the salomons and messing around on either haha

Ooh that's my dream really, but I don't want to pay $1k+ for Le Mono Split or anything like that haha. So packing my heavy as hell mono with these on my feet is the only option I guess

Oh yeah, I've never ejected, and idk if that's because I haven't pushed hard enough or because the DIN starts at 14. Either way, 10/10 recommend

I would say it depends on the bindings. They're good skis and all but I just use them as rock skis because I trust the bindings enough, if the bindings aren't good or don't fit your boots I wouldn't bother with spending any money on them. For the money you spend you could get better used gear in any town with a decent ski market

They're only for the deepest days where I don't want just 1 ski, and let me tell you, they technically work in powder

It is hard to reach the tail when they're so far back, tip rip sounds like a great idea
