Who's the female commentator? Amy? And Derek? You commentators need to introduce yourselves more often after commercial breaks or whatever.

I just wanna say that this team of commentators is the best we've had in years. The chemistry, the passing-the-ball back and forth, this team is rad....

Yeah, it's usually a click battle until things actually go live. Gotta give them credit they actually pull it off. FIS is learning from them, for sure.

My bets? 1-2-3 for every category from last year. Ha.

/I have no idea....

Ahhh.... Thanks for the callout!

I'm in love with that topsheet and am genuinely curious about the build/shape/flex.

I skied with Tgapp last year here in my Tohoku forests. Me on my HALS Ren and him on v1 HB122s. We were skiing the same lines but it was fun to watch our different...

Don't forget your own garlic aioli made with Kewpie mayo. Pickled jalapeños are also a must. Cheese is subjective. And either smashed tortilla chips or crispy onions. And, cold iceberg lettuce.

My dad used to make wonder bread burgers with smashed potato chips like some sort of heathen...

As for the uphill ski getting caught, "Squish the bug." & "Your knees are headlights, point them where you want to go."
Squish the bug = put your finger between their shin and ski boot. Tell them it's a bug and tell them to squish it. Smash it. That little exercise comes...

Two smashed patties is better than one big thick pattie.

The goal with smashed patties is thinnish, crispy edges, and a lot of grease.

Kind of the OG of hamburgers that is now a trendy style.

80/20, 70/30, chuck. I don’t know. Just make it crispy and greasy....

My first month on my Pirelli Zero Ice Asymentrico are proving to be adequate. Costco's cheapest option. I'll report back after my Jan/Feb JP road trip that is my ultimate test each winter....

Thanks, Mods!
Serious Q: I've never even tried spam. Should I continue my streak or or pony-up and buy some? WWMD?...

I need that v2 samurai top sheet out of sheer principle....

I guess, in theory, you could be more discrete....

I'm hoping this is the storm that opens up the forest. I have had both winters where I'm deep in the forest on New Year's Day and seasons where I've had to wait until February. 2019/2020 the forest was never even doable. In like a lamb, out like a lion?...

Camping at 10.000ft in the Beartooths in January in -20f at the base of Horseshoe Mountain out of Cooke City we had zero light pollution and plenty of elevation. We saw Orion had a quiver and even eyes. That's the only time I've seen Orion's eyes. No wonder humans drew on the rock. https://maps.app...

I laffed at both. But more importantly I appreciated Riser's mix of flavors. Thanks for that. Maple and rice vinegar. Huh....

I saw that, twat. Thanks! I'm in. Gonna hold off on betting a few days to review last year's event. Heeps of talent yet again. Love seeing new names I know nothing about and seeing Turdell yet again. Awesome, too, that Hale-woods is in there. That's gotta make papa proud. What a cool family story. That...

lol. Did you just ask what stock liners outperform both intuitions and zipfits?

Everybody, pay attention. This is what AI looks like.

Please pay attention. Our world is over.

Can you find a narrower screw with the same thread to screw in by hand and see if it feels like the threads align?

Kind of related but doesn't solve your issue-- my bro with the jig who helped me with my first pivots drilled the ski, didn't tap, and began screwing the binding onto the...

We’re not yet skiing the forests at Zao. Not even close. Some of our lifts haven’t even begun spinning yet. Feels like winter is a month behind schedule.

I’ve seen worse for snow but not for tourists. It’s a changing of the guard. They are everywhere. And not even just snow riders....
