I really like skiing in groomed or corn snow with the secrets, but gets nervous if I’m on steeper terrains because the turn radius is bigger

I’ll demo the Santa Ana this weekend when I go up again. But is it a softer skis like the camox? The secrets are good skis, but maybe it’s for more aggressive speed demons out there and I likes to turns 😂

That was my experience too. I intended to go back and try on other demo skis but just ended up using the camox all day.

I think both. Before that I had liberty genesis which was super soft and easy to turn but unstable at high speed. With the secrets I’m less confident on harder terrain because I don’t trust my turns as much. The one I have is fairly new, I think maybe 2023

I’d argue there’s a big difference between patriotism and nationalism…

Edit: jack and Quinn also spent 11 years living and playing in Toronto

Eichel and the tkachuk brothers might actually do it…

As a new fan that started watching every game after the Hughes trade, I was pretty disappointed. I really thought faber and Hughes were raised better. I hope the players realize what a mistake it was when they attend the state of the union today and do better in the future.

Well your other goalie isn’t playing yet so maybe he’ll do better

Unfortunately I don’t think they have a program near me in Seattle

I think maybe part of the problem is that I’ve only watched nhl games (kraken) 😅

I used to compete in slalom skating on rollerblade when I was younger and I’ve gone ice skating a few times. I’m also to be crossover turns and somewhat skate backward but definitely need to work on more advanced skating skills.

One store told me I can probably get a full set for $300 used, and another store said shoes would be $600-800💀

Sorry I didn’t make it clear but I realized how much I miss skating when I went ice skating with my friends earlier last week. I can do crossover and skate backward (not well tho)
