Shit I couldn't wait any longer. Bring on winter!
have you guys ever ordered any snowboarding/ski jackets online? if so, could you please refer me to a good website.
i've looked at 'the-house.com' and 'nextag.com' but i've been reading bad reviews about them. should i bother buying online or just locally?
thanks!

Take your pick from that list. From what I have seen online, you usually will get charged duty on anything coming from the states. So I think it is usually not worth it, unless you can ship to a US address.
I know the thread title says Ski, but I have a question that I was hoping to get answered by the end of the day. I made a thread in regards to comparing sizes in 2011 vs 2012 Burton snowboard boots and was wondering if anyone knows if the fit will be the same for both?
Start asnowboard thread:) :thumbsup:
snowboarding guy here.. so if i want a ski movie that's like Claim - which do i want to watch?
I've ordered from http://www.trusnow.com/ when they were known as Sierra Snowboards. Had to pay taxes but no outrageous brokerages or anything. Things may have changed though. I picked up Bonfire pants and jacket for under $180 after it was all said and done compared to $250+ local.
I am a little confused, do you want a snowboard movie? Or ski movie? If you want a snowboard moive right now, check out Thats it Thats All. Killer movie. If you want to wait a little bit, there is a new one coming out in the fall called The Art of Flight. I think this one has been filmed over the last 2 years (last year being an amazing winter for snow) and is sort of a "sequel" to Thats it Thats all. I would recommend checking out both when you get a chance though :thumbsup:Quote:

I don't know many ski movies other than Claim, so I can't comment on those.
After years of having a season's pass at Sunshine I'm going to stick to my guns after their little fiasco last year and not buy one this year.Quote:

I ordered a Helly shell from tramdock.com, but I think they're shut down now. Try www.steepandcheap.com, they only sell one item at a time, but it's at a ridiculous price, just gotta wait till it's something you want. i got a Helly Hansen jacket for $120, regular was over $300.Quote:

There was a strike, basically all ski patrol members walked off the job because of a dispute between Sunshine's owner's son being in a closed off area of the mountain and a ski patroller who was then suspended/fired for the incident. The patroller was essentially questioning their presence in a restricted and potentially dangerous area and didn't give a crap who that kid was. More or less the "incident". I might be doing the same as calgarygts.

I ordered one of my jackets from departmentofgoods.com (formerly backcountryoutlet) based in the states. Usually have decent deals on gear. Only bummer is sometimes the gear doesn't ship outside of the US and you do have to pay shipping fees. I typically get a bunch of my buddies together and if they want anything we put it on the same order and just split the cost for shipping.
Another one to check out is shop.thinkempire.com based out of Quebec. Decent selection of goods and they usually do free shipping in Canada as long as you spend a certain amount (minus discounts and such).
Also: trailer for Art of Flight. Gonna be siiiiick

Just ordered last year's supermodel to replace my dented malolo from think empire. I bought bindings from there before. No complaint.
thanks for the links, guys!
i've only ever owned 1 snowboarding jacket and it's a helly hansen. it's so warm that i want another helly hansen fo rmy next jacket.
i know it's really played out but i'm looking for a white camo jacket. too bad there's none of those from the links you guys mentioned. the sites that do carry them seem to receive bad reviews from users regarding bad customer service; i'd rather avoid those sites. :)
thanks again!
Had a question for you guys regarding flappy skis (Reverse Camber).
Im currently skiing on 182cm Salomon Xwing Fury's (I'm 6'1) and really like them. Great all round ski, but in the deep powder they're sinking battleships. I skied with a guy (similar height) from Revvie and he had 190ish cm flappy skis. The way he floated on the powder looked effortless and I was super jealous.
Looking to get into some used reverse camber skis but know nothing about them. Budget is under $500 for skis and bindings. Any opinions, tips, or things I should look for?
