Last year on my ski trip the weather was often super cloudy and I couldn’t really see a lot. I have the feeling my goggle lens was to dark.
Right now i am searching for goggles with a (magnetic) swappable lens so i can have a clear one and one for the sun. I have a set on my mind from the brand hystride for 120€.
Does anyone have experience with this brand or other recommendations? I’m looking for something brown ish to match with my outfit.

Of course, like all skiers, I want goggles that won't fog up and have interchangeable lenses for different slope conditions. One option available near me is the Uvex Victorious Pro V in black matte with a red-clear lens, which costs around $150. Is it a good choice, or are there better options in this price range?

Can anyone help me remove this Tyrola 280D rear ski binding? Im making a shot ski. I took the front two screws out of the binding that mount it to the ski but I can't get the back binding. I’ve tried unscrewing the screw in the second picture but it seems to be some type of fastening screw, not an actual screw. I feel like there’s probably a simple latch I’m missing. Any help appreciated.

I want to start by saying I’m an intermediate skier in the west coast BC who does mostly blues with some blacks and I want to improve over time. I really like the look of the qst 94 but cannot find it for a decent price locally or online in my size (I’m 187cm). Evo has a deal on right now for $449 for the skis but sold out in the 94s at 180cm. I’m really thinking about buying the 100s just because I love the look.

Is it too wide? Any other recommendations?

Stats:
187cm tall
205lbs
Budget $600 max ideally

Thanks in advance!!

Hello everyone,

I would like to purchase one of the two ski models from the previous year (25/26): Völkl Racetiger SL and Rossignol Hero Elite ST Ti. Do you have any experience reports or recommendations, preferably based on your skiing level? Generally, I want an agile/dynamic ski that grips well on the edge, for short turns and now and then medium radii. How do these models behave throughout the entire day, also in the afternoon when the snow gets a bit looser/softer? Thanks in advance and have a great start to the ski season! (P.S.: size recommendations for 180cm, 80-85kg are also welcome)

188cm, 70 KG. Intermediate/advanced, meaning I’ll huck myself down pretty much anything and stay on my feet. skiing primarily bachelor and other PNW spots. 180 or 186? also looking at the Nordica enforcer 94. Gonna buy last years model. 

I’ve looked at the sub for recs too, if you have any other ideas lemme know. Woodsman 100 is tempting

So as title goes I need a new pair of skis..

I have used a pair of ON3P Jeffrey for 12 years, yeah, I love them but one of the skis finally broke last year

I love to ski powder, jump on anything that is jumpable and most of all do butters all over the mountain

I also like park skiing and hitting rails but being off pist is definitely the favorite thing to do

I like speed but not really into carving

I'm 176cm / 5f8 and 86kg / 190lbs

I really want a playful ski that I can continue to do butters and just pop off anything, doing big 3s etc

Since I have 12 years of experience on Jeffrey's I think they're playful but I have no idea if they are or if I simply just know them well enough to be playful

Previously I've looked at getting a pair of ARV, but I'm open to anything really, I'm simply looking for a durable ski that is playful

Any and all advice is much appreciated🙏🏼

OK I really only use TWO.. Salomon Falcon plug for more aggressive days and Lange 130 for more casual free ride for more casual days.. mostly.. But I can crank them down and rip too.. just less forward lean. Anybody else run with more than one full time boot? BSL is the same so no ski quiver issues

Hello, I’m looking at the Nordica Unleashed 106 CA, the Line vision 104, black crows atris and the kastle zx100. I’m really looking for something fun on powder days that will also hold up in the woods here in the Northeast. I have also skied a Liberty Radian 100, and found that to be a hair stiff in the tail. And a Volkl Revolt 104 and found that way to loose. Do you guys think that these or any other recommendations would be best for me?

Thanks!

My favorite skis of all time… my first skis… been searching for years for another pair! if anyone out there would like to get rid of some please dm thanks 🙏🏼

I went to a boot fitter to buy new boots. He took measurements and told me that my foot width requires a HV boot, but since I have a narrow ankle (24.5 cm ankle with a ski boot size of 27.5), I should look at LV or MV options. After trying a few models, I liked the Salomon S/PRO SUPRA 120 GW the most. However, I am now thinking that I should have bought the Salomon S/PRO ALPHA 120, which is an LV (I didn't try them because they didn't have them in the shop). My ankle feels secure in the shop with one buckle position left on the top cuff, and I can still unscrew the ladder to make it tighter. What is the chance that these will end up being too big for my ankle?

For ref I am 185cm tall, 75kg

I’ve been shopping around for skis for my fiancée for the past month and am considering the 2025 vs. 2026 HEAD KORE W. She’s a beginner who has progressed quickly over the last couple of seasons, so I’m looking to get her a better set of skis that she can continue to grow into.
From what I’ve seen from watching reviews, HEAD moved away from the carbon construction used in previous KORE models and introduced a PET-based construction for the 2026 model. I’ve heard this change was driven by the high manufacturing costs and quality control challenges associated with consistent carbon layups.

For anyone who has actually skied both the 2025 and 2026 KORE skis, how noticeable is the difference on snow?

Hi , im new to skiing iv only gone a handful of times . I wanted to finally commit this year i got a season pass and wanted to get my own used skis . Iv seen some people say old ones are bad and other say old skis are okay . I just want to use them for this winter and if i enjoy skiing, I will buy new ones . I just can’t justify throwing so much money on a new hobby that I’m not sure I would love and renting. Seems like its not the best financial choice.
I found, Kneissl ergo & binding Tyrolia SL 100, on facebook maketplace are those good . Does anyone have any advice ??

First pair I bought for myself.
What are your thoughts on these?
Where do yall think I should mount the bindings? Mainly for side hits and jumps. I’m 171cm tall 63kg, skis also 171cm, with plenty of experience in skiing.

Looking for new ski socks and found these because they have good reviews on various sources but I'm unsure which size to get. I normally have shoe size 45.5 and mondo point 29.5 on my ski boots. So I'm basically between their size L and XL. Does anybody have these or know their sizing good enough to recommend me a size?

Has anybody ridden J skis for big lines/ all-mountain before? If so, how'd they handle? I love their graphics and was looking at the hotshots, slacker, and masterblaster

Hi I'm looking at getting some Smith goggles (probably the 4D MAG or others in the MAG line). Anyways, I'd like to get opinions on the best lens colour for everyday cloudy conditions flat light. And if they work well in fog and storms, that's a bonus.

So it sounds like it's going to be the Chromapop Storm in either 1) Yellow Flash 2) Rose Flash, or 3) Blue Sensor Mirror.

Why Smit? B/C they are the best fit for my big (high bridge) nose.

I'd love to hear your experience with those colours in those conditions.
