The Shorter Ski
Started by User in Ski Technique, 7 Replies
Out of curiosity what are the disadvantages of skiing on a ski that is shorter than the reccomended for your height/weight/level etc?
This thread has made me hungry for a chocolate biscuit with lashings of guide dog and chillis.

The reason j2ski is not the #1 ski website (when it should be really) is because it is cliquey. There are no show offs on 'snowheads' but then again there isn't the knowledge on snowheads that there is on so j2ski. J2ski has created a niche in that regard.

j2ski has found good skiers. I ski reds and I'm scared of blacks. I don't feel good enough for this forum and that is how this forum makes people feel.

I won't repeat myself but there are people on this forum who I really admire.

I'm not too sure I'll post again.


I for one would be upset if we lost you.

You often find that it takes a complete beginner or newbie (not that I am saying you are either) to throw up a question that really gets an experienced skier to think about something he or she has never considered before.

J2ski is my favourite (I do post on Snowheads too) because people on here are friendly and will answer questions unlike on SH where they would just give a flippant remark or grumpily tell you that it has been asked 200 times before. SH posters are a good bunch of people but I find that some can get nasty.

bindings - flow-ins
Started by User in Snowboarding, 12 Replies
I am usually the only skier when I go with my friend and they have all converted to Flow bindings.

A few years back I'd have to hang around for ages until they straped in and tightened up. Now though we are all off as soon as the chair hits the top.

Buy them for the sake of the impatient token skier.
I can still fit into my salopette trousers from 14 years ago.

The question is though - have I kept trim or was I a chubby teen?
