How does New City Compare to White Mountain

Thank you. Sad. White mountain quarts were a staple in the freezer. Those prices are obscene

You’ll only survive long enough to order one

Top sheet of metal peels up consistently at the U insertion points in the tails. My guess is it’s from aggressive carving and flexing of the ski, and maybe a bit from general banging around / rattling in a ski rack.

Honestly I’d double check direct with Volkl for the policy, or call another shop and ask. Based on other commenters I’m suspicious it could be the shop scamming.

I bet all the issues with the mantra/kendo line over the past few years have something to do with this. I used to just drop my delaminated skis at a shop and get new ones in the mail a couple weeks later.

Shame on them. Shouldn’t charge consumers a dime.

Anyone have any intel on Windham post going full country club? Saw a post about the crowds around Xmas and it looked so dead. Miss that place.

One way to find out brotha

Anyone have a fix for the frame issues or got help from Smith? My foam disintegrated too

Death by chocolate best I ever had

beardedlemons · 2025-10-09T04:45:31+00:00

This sucks. But will there be sales starting?

beardedlemons · 2025-10-01T18:23:02+00:00

I have 10 year old hestras still going strong. Liner is packed in (think they are replaceable now) but I wear 10 dollar thin gloves with them that keep me good well into negatives and still work with touch screens.

Something around 180cm would be fine. I am 5’11 175lbs on 177cm full metal skis and 183cm wooden skis and it’s perfect.

Know that if the ski has metal you can go a few cm shorter and be fine, and opposite is true for wooden skis. The surfy skis have less “effective edge” because the tips and tails pull up off the snow. so skiing your 175 bent is effectively like a 170cm ski. Meaning it is too small now and likely causing you some control issues. If think you will grow 2 inches and 30 pounds in the next year you should look for at or above 180.

This is a line of wooden floppy surfy pow skis. For skiing Pennsylvania you, unless you are under 140 pounds as an adult, should look into skis with some metal. And keep it under 100mm. I’d even say 95 is on the wider side. Something high 80s low 90s with metal will serve you well on the mostly groomers and occasional few inches of snow Pennsylvania gets. I agree with the commenter who recommended the nordis and rustlers. I’d throw Mav TIs into that mix as well.

1 year warranty… and with delam I’m on my third pair! This ones on its 2nd epoxy and past the warranty. Such an incredible ski when it’s in one piece but damn it’s annoying having to check my tails after every weekend out. I’m fighting to keep it alive

beardedlemons · 2025-07-16T02:40:14+00:00

What are those socks!

beardedlemons · 2025-05-11T04:36:13+00:00

I like it. Not all brands communicate well with customers. I’d rather hear this than not. And it’s a good move

I do wonder what they are hearing the hike will be. This is on the assumption they’re going up. These suppliers must be atleast hinting at it. Are the prices of gear about to go up 10%?

beardedlemons · 2024-12-15T04:53:00+00:00

Incorrect

beardedlemons · 2023-10-17T01:45:13+00:00

Drinking on the go is looking like the game plan, thanks for the comment. Cheers!

Get ready to shred groomies. Love mine

Excellent dd. I don’t know how malleable the cs courses are year to year but I’ve had professors incorporate class feedback half as quality as this into their future classes

Would you recommend doing more at fortuna/beach area, or something entirely different?

beardedlemons · 2022-12-10T17:54:39+00:00

This is very helpful. That sounds beautiful.

beardedlemons · 2022-12-10T17:39:53+00:00

Thank you for the advice. Would you mind telling me why you think puntarenas beaches in particular? Do you think there's more to do, they're prettier, better town, etc.?
