What are some good brands for helmets and where to get them? I've had mine for a few seasons and feel like it's time for a replacement.

TIA

I have a Scott brand one, no complaints.

You shouldn't be shopping by brand, you should be shopping by fit and features.

I've got a POC backcountry receptor MIPS. Partly for the fit on my weird head, partly for the technology.
Came from Yuho Sports.
I would recommend it.

Besides the fact that you mentioned Yuho sports, I agree with everything else.

POC makes nice shit, unfortunately I didn't like their fit for cold gear. I do run their full face helmet for mountain biking, and it has probably saved my life.

I didn't mean to endorse Yuho, only POC :toot:

Seemed like a sketchy hole in the wall and they didnt even give me a receipt, but helmet was in stock and price matched to backcountry.com :woot2:

VPO stocks POC, so do skiis and biikes

anyone ever been to manning park up in hope ?

Cypress was decent tonight!

Have they opened more runs?

There were only two lifts open but 35 bucks for night owl for some decent snow...couldn't complain :P.

All the time. It's a hidden gem.

perfect cant wait to try it

Was anyone in the line up on the s2s to whistler? :troll:

rolled up to the border yesterday, told the officer im going to mt baker. He asked me if i was planning on driving my car up. I was like yes, he said your car is lowered, you aint gonna make it up there lol. Challenge accepted.

I made it up there, and all the hillbillys in their awd and 4x4 were staring at me haha.

on my way down, i saw 2 SUV in the ditch...muahahah....It aint the car, its the driver.

There was tons of snow up there.

I'm supposed to tour baker Tuesday. Original plan was for today but there was too big risk of avi.
Pics like this get me so stoked.
Hopefully there will still be freshies left.

there was so much fresh powder yesterday. Have a good time.

Had the same thing happen to me lol the boarder guard said that I wouldn't make it up to baker. "Your car is too low" what makes you think that you can make it up.

If I was to take a truck up this weekend with new all seasons (2011 Tacoma) would you think I would have a hard time? Just trying to figure out my options if not I'll have to rent smthn lol

That looks like fall :suspicious:

can anyone tell me how many green runs have been open on Cypress, Seymour, or Grouse recently? want to bring a novice up there

Does seymour backcountry have enough snow to board through yet?

collins and panorama are open on Cypress now

hitting up cypress today, hope its good

Does anyone else watch videos before they go out? I know its old but I still watch That's It That's All and Art of Flight before I go shred. Hypes me up so much
