@ GrahamS, pretty sure that helmet isn't fitting properly.
Favourite ski/snowboard film everyone? Mine has to be Tanner Halls Retallack, or Level 1's Eye Trip if I'm in the mood for more urban/park stuff.
Line skis are rather lovely to look at! Never tried a pair, though.
All I Am for me. If only for that "street" section from JP.
Anybody know if Crowbar snow lenses fit in Crowbar MX goggles? I can't see vented MX lenses and I think non vented would fog up. I used my O frames with vented persimmon lenses in last season with a Pro-Tec Ace SXP helmet. I feel I need some darker lenses as when it was sunny I had to resort to glasses and a hat.
Any ideas.
PS I think I might fit into some of the gapper description despite not having a gap. My trousers are bright blue and I don't have a clue what I'm doing.

No need for vented if you have the dual lens ski ones, IMO. Mine have never (touch wood!) fogged up.
Thats the thing, I have MX frames that have a single lens. I want to know if the ski lenses will fit in before I order some. I don't think the single lens will work well when skiing.
Ah, I getcha! Sorry!
I think they should work, as the only major differences are the single lens and the tear-off pegs, IIRC. A quick call to Oakley Towers should clarify, though!
Thanks, I have dropped them an email but I am impatient bugger so thought I would ask here too.
Gaper gap - we call it Euro gap.
Another tip for the goggle wearers, is never put them up onto your helmet on a snowy wet day. Mine have frozen inside before now, so I always pop the goggles on inside a building where I've managed to either keep them dry or dry them off before heading back out.
Same old 'old school' Salomon scream8 for me 😥
Never mind, they still work very well.
My mate has a Smith Holt helmet, and Smith Phenom goggles. These are a helmet and goggles specifically designed to integrate and not have a gap.
He has a proper **** gap. How? I do not know.
I have a Smith Vantage and no gap with either Oakley Crowbars or Spy Soldiers. The Vantage is a sweet helmet.

Line skis are rather lovely to look at! Never tried a pair, though.
I was on Line Prophet 98's all this past season, such lovely skis in every way for nearly all conditions, except for ridiculously deep pow. And Ive heard nothing but great things about there wider skis! This is coming from Whistler though where nearly everyone has phat skis, the euro style carving skis aren't very common here.
And ye that JP street section is pretty sweet!
Stolen from another thread...

Smith Hustle and Phenom here. Zero gap, they practically lock together.
Is "your mate" a bit of a Tefal? 😉
Don't get excited CFH, it's all gone already.
I struggle with long sentences but I've an open invite to Chamonix this winter where a mate is taking a 3 month sabbatical. I'd commit if I had a secure income...

Tefal?
No issues with my lid and goggles.

Surely it's easier to commit because you don't. Ski bum seems preferable to civil service panel interviews...
Tefal:
Anyone had any experience with Billabong ski wear, specifically jackets and pants? I've bought a set for £90 reduced from £260 from twoseasons (used £20 off when signing up to newsletter).
I've just bought them as a backup really and the jacket for going about resort (doing a season in St. Anton), not expecting anything amazing but would be nice if they're alright for at least some fair weather skiing.
mbydmt - they make a decent range of stuff, really depends which end of their market you've bought at!
Indy snow pant: Waist Adjustment, Hook Jacket to Pant, Venting Zip, Reinforced Heel, Bottom Opening, Boot Gaiter, Lace Hook, 8000mm breathable, 8000gr. So mid level waterproofing?
Crown Jacket: Jacket Shell: Twill Herringbone 100% Polyamide, Jacket Lining: Embossed Nylon Taffeta. Insulation: Poly Fill 80g body 60g arms. Waterproof: 8'000mm, Breathable: 8'000gm
Yeah, that'll be fine unless it's really puking.
mbydmt, as above, unless it's turbo-puke or you're really working it, you'll be fine in that.
Ninety quid is a bargain pretty much whatever it looks like. Of course we'll be needing pictures 8)

Love that pic, haha!
Can somebody with crowbars do me a favor. Oakley are skirting around the question of if Snow lenses will fit in MX frames. If you have some Crowbar Snow goggles can you pop the lenses out and take a pic so I can see where the mounting holes are.
Thanks
Too much to read, so apologies if it's been mentioned; has anyone ridden a Triple Base Technology (TBT) board?
It's solving a problem I don't really have anymore (going in a straight line) but might make all types of slope-side popping, jumping, and general dicking about much more forgiving.

Doesn't look like they'll work, I'm afraid!
Yea I got that online but I never trust the online example photos.
I might just have to get a darker lens for my O Frames.
Spot on with that 'modern skier' picture. However there is one important item left out - the GoPro stuck to various parts of the body, or end of pole if you're a snowboarder.
Mmm can't think about skiing atm as summer has made a rather pleasant return 🙂
No GoPro on the end of my pole Bunnyhop 😆
Subtle attempt at not letting the thread drop off the radar, and update of page 1...
Dec - Tignes (booked)
Jan - Austria (cheeky weekend somewhere)

Guys quick question for you.
Going to be buying a set of Rossi's 2nd hand off a mate and I was wondering if anyone knows any shops on the south coast (Bournemouth - Portsmouth - M3 Corridor) that will be able to mount 7tm tele bindings? I'm a bit too far from mountain spirit!

Just sold my knackered old Sims board a year or so ago. Kinda wish I'd kept it now 🙁
Sims for me means one thing...

Looking forward to this Christmas, anyone had any time on the Volkl RTM 75?
After something for a confident blue skier, enjoys reds and happy on some, less happy but can get down some, struggles on some currently, but doing a season so envisage getting more confident.
Looking at mainly on piste but hopefully expanding into fresh powder/off piste during my season in St. Anton.
Me again on the topic of skis 🙄
PSA: Sport Conrad are doing Coreupt skis for only 100 Euros delivered (free delivery until midnight TONIGHT).
Coreupt are a ski company that's come out of Tignes, check them out, they mainly deal in fun, play, park type skis, the two mens ski's they have left are twin tips, great value play skis though!
I *may* 🙄 have got carried away and bought a set...
I [s]*may* have got carried away[/s] was on the interwebz after a long liquid lunch and bought a set...

😉
Never tried Coreupts, I'm afraid. Volkl have always impressed when I've tried them, though. The 2012 were a lovely all rounder mainly piste-based ski.
