Yep, I've got a pair of the 07-08 Volkl Gotamas and was quite surprised to see they were made in China. I can only imagine that they've increased production in China and other low-cost manufacturing locations since K2 acquired them.

I have to agree here. In Mid-November, barring fantastic snowfall, and moderate temp days to keep it there, the options are slim, and often consist of one (1, uno, ein) manmade snow run from top to bottom, until areas have a chance to build base on other trails. I wouldn't make a...

They have not started blowing snow, they have tested the guns. Rumour also has it that Killington won't start blowing snow until the 26th.. http://forums.alpinezone.com/10650-kill ... after.html With the ASC passes, I really don't think that Kton is going to open prior to the 9th or 10th of...

Well, we pulled the trigger, booked the week, and purchased our flight. Now we cross our fingers and wait. Should be an interesting enough introduction to Utah. Hmm. Sounds like an adventure if that's the case. I knew I should have bought an AT setup.. Any of you still skiing at that...

Hey, I'd like some opinions from you SLC/LCC locals. A friend of mine just came up with lodging for the second week in may, that are on mountain and dirt cheap at Snowbird. I've seen a few postings here about last may, and it seemed like things were still decent at SB. I think Alta may...

If anyone has any Black Diamond Riva Z Comp Riser Kit's, or knows a shop who might, let me know. I snagged 2 pairs of these bindings for almost free ($15 each pair I think), and upon closer inspection, they aren't the set w/the riser plates.
