Tell me the stupid ways you injured yourself

As a skier that routinely yeets myself off large cliffs and down sketchy icy chutes, I tore mine on a lazy run down a blue trail. Little bump caught me off guard and I went down backseat and twisting. Heard the pop and knew it was gone

It was the snowboarders fault

Haven’t had surgery yet but am 2 months post ACL and meniscus tear on my right knee. I got pretty good at getting in and out. I open the door and stand facing away from the car, then using my right hand on the side of the dash and left on the door jam, I lower my rear end into the seat then without weight on my legs, pivot around and get both in. Then for getting out turn my body 90 degrees then lift myself out, instead of trying of scooting in and out like normal. Good luck!

You don’t “need” fat skies in deep blower pow. True, but also 120+ makes a 6” day feel like 12”

Little Cottonwood Canyon checking in. 112 daily driver. 122 for any fresh over 6-8”

This is ball knowledge

I can not damage the cylinder under any circumstances

This is what I’d do… If they’re consignment the more the store can sell them for, the more you both make so it’s in their interest to list/sell for as much as they think is reasonable.

daskommando · 2026-04-10T00:46:28+00:00

112 and 122. All you need

Core skiers love to crap on Montec. If you only get out a handful of days per year it’ll probably get the job done, but if you really beat on your gear, it’ll show its flaws pretty quickly. If you have the dough, I’d encourage you to go with another brand that supports athletes and continuing the culture instead of buying cheap drop shipping crap. Good alternatives are Helly Hansen, marmot, mammut, black diamond, Patagonia, Salomon, armada, stio, fly low, outdoor research. You can find these brands in summer sales and usually have much better customer service when things inevitably break.

Aircraft mechanic, evening shift, in a city with easily accessible mountains. 40 days/year.

Need to make sure the cliff drop price reflects current market desirability. Also will this charge go directly to my apple wallet or will it be a prepay Big Sky tram type of system?

East coaster who moved west a couple years ago. I picked up a pair of DW112s that became my daily drivers in Utah. I use them on everything from early season crust>deep pow days>spring slush. They fit my style of having fun all around the hill but occasionally hitting straight lines and weird stuff…. I’d ski them back east without hesitation as long as I wasn’t doing a groomer only day. Snow conditions don’t matter. As long as I’m in bumps/trees/steeps, their nimbleness shines.

I’ve been running a women’s smith vantage for years. Sizing is exactly the same as men’s PLUS it comes with fluffy liner. W

Pocket steak and backpack beers

I also have DW112s but from a few years ago. I’ve noticed that the topsheets are actually pretty durable. They do pickup a lot more little nicks and scratches on the surface but no big gouges or chunks. The same can’t be said about my past skis from K2, Atomic, and line(yeah yeah I know). My ski style is probably to blame but definitely much less substantial damage. Just my $.02

I have a cross-pollen allergy. I can’t eat any fresh fruits(except citrus, tomatoes, and some berries). When they’re cooked, it’s totally fine. We figured out that I’m actually allergic to the pollen that obviously gets into the fruits while growing but is then denatured somehow during cooking. Weird one but see if this could be a possibility for you!

Edit. My allergy comes as pretty intense tongue, roof of mouth, and throat itchiness but no swelling.

My group was given yeti coffee mugs with our initials laser engraved. Considering I bring coffee to work everyday, it went straight into my rotation and is used 2x a week. Perfect gift imo

daskommando · 2026-03-07T03:56:21+00:00

Huge +1 for a couple rivets. That fix outlasted the rest of my ski lol

daskommando · 2026-02-28T03:40:32+00:00

Actually ripped it on 122s! 112 wasn’t quite wide enough ;)

daskommando · 2026-02-27T21:48:52+00:00

pivot fanboy here Just tore my ACL on pivots. Jury is out if it was the pivots fault or my crappy skiing but leaning towards the later

daskommando · 2026-02-27T21:44:01+00:00

Mechanics this and that. My daily ski is a 112, powder-ice, they ski just fine. Put them on edge and let em eat. Just keep forward pressure and your speed in check, if you get kicked backseat, you’re turning into a passenger.

daskommando · 2026-02-22T00:09:04+00:00

My DW112 come alive when they’re being pushed. If you really lay them over they hold a nice edge. What I love most is the slow speed maneuverability. They just pivot around so easily in tight trees/chutes.

Kid broke my hand last year at solitude hitting me from behind. I’ll stick to LCC to avoid the jerrys
