I am just looking to get more knowledge.
How and when to service skis
Travel tips
Resort info
Warm gloves, anything on warm gloves
A little bit of BS on how hard they send it, (when you know they are in a wedge on the Double Light green beginner runs etc.).
Ski service: YouTube is your best bet for how-to guides. So is making friends with your local shop and asking how to do it. If you have a relationship with them, go for it.
Travel / Resort Info: We bought IKON and haven't looked back. You have to go the upgraded pass to get the best access (e.g., Jackson Hole and Alta aren't on the Base or Base Plus pass anymore) but it was worth it. And IKON's own site does pretty well with travel ideas, resort access, and now they're dipping their toes into wholly-owned travel agency stuff.
Warm gloves: Hestra or GTFO. Specifically, not gloves. Mittens. Mittens are your friend. Yes, it sucks dropping $150 on a set of mittens. But they last forever, and you can wear them with or without liners and they are baller.
How hard it's sent: I mean, that's classic TGR stuff...although I tend to try to keep my mandatory cliff jumps under 10 feet when I can. That's usually when I'm not getting stuck in a whiteout on Alta's High Traverse...
If anybody wants a set of Volkl M5 Mantras with Marker Griffon demo bindings in 177...I got a pair that needs a new home...
