FYI: buddies skis got stolen in fernie tonight. 189 seths. Purple vintage w/ old man winter graphics. Jester bindings. Boo-erns. Core shot underfoot patched w/ rectangular black rectangular 1cm x...

Somebody told me that it rained at louise on sunday? Any substance to this?

Spent friday and sat at the lake. Synopsis:
SUMMIT: WHitehorn 1 opened today. Sweet snow on some gnarly rocks but still good skiing. Headwall was skiing way better than it had any right to be. THey...

Ooo-rah. Going to the lake in the morning. Gonna be sick.
Better not break a leg or I will be pissed for 6-8 weeks.

Hitting louise on Friday. Tall, tele, green poc helmet, moment Garbones (new fatter ones).
Holla.

I confess. I rode the WROD at louise today. And I loved it. Until calgary showed up. Up until then it was fun though. It has been a while since I was on the boards so it felt good to just slide...

Doing it after a year of hiatus.
CAn't do anything outrageous as I have to go to the field for work and there are limits. Will go for something a bit more civilized a la marc lievremont (french...

dead sexy

That is why I read Powder. The world needs more writing like that. And Rolf has got big friggen balls. Respect.

I ended up finding a (sortof) 1980 Kawasaki Z1R out in a barn near here. Needs a good chunk of work but can't wait to get it running. Hoping to be on the road before the end of summer. THe original...

Very nice. I fully endorse the simplicity of some well picked photos and words. You have succeeded.

I have always wondered about the stem, never been up there when I felt comfortable with the...

There was a group of what looked like 6 kids from a XC club. Those little shits just breezed back across the lake with a light tailwind. My fat ass kept breaking through the crust. The other group of...

Hit up Surprise pass yesterday morning. Was pretty bomber the whole way but I think timing and early starts will become more important with the melt/freeze. What amazing scenery. It was pretty busy...

Not sure if this helps but here is my $0.02

Me: 6'7 and 210 out of the shower.
I am transitioning from Candy cane T-races and HH with the stiffy spring at 5. Love this set-up inbounds. Not so...

I should clarify myself as the tail support comment seems to have come out wrong.

The fact that the tail has a significant amount of rocker means that it is easier to end up back in the back seat...

Jackson was a bit of a bust. THey had had a melt freeze cycle the week before we arrived. I ski enough boiler plate around here without having to pay $91 a day. We ended up cutting out after a day of...

A review of the 2010/11 190 moment bibby pro. Mounted tele and sometimes even skied tele.

190 Moment Bibby tele

Me: 6'6", 215lbs nekkid. But getting office fat. And old. Scared but angry at the world and skiing is my only vent.

Set-up: NTN bindings mounted -1.5cm from line, Crispi Evos (2nd Gen).

Days:...

Oh, the insanity that is kicking horse. Epic snow this weekend for sure. Pretty cool shit got hucked.

Didn't see the actual fall at Suckers but it looked like he was aiming to hit the...

Stoked to see more big boy skis from moment. And the graphics are killing it. Again.

I still want a 196 Garbone though. And I would also take a 196 Jag shark. Doubt that there would be much...

AST 2 (Canada)
2 sets of gear (Tracker & Pulse)
No airbag or avalung... yet. But thinking.
Patrolled for 7 years so got a lot of practice.
Usually do neighborhood park single burial scenarios in...

Motherfuck. Those went.

^^^ Oh snap! Challenge!

This better end in a ski-off.

That looks like some prime mid-season rockies snow pack. Another good start to the year. I like what I see.

Did a day trip to Fernie yesterday. Skinned up to the top of bear and did a couple of runs. Lots of traffic (cats as well as people). Lots of people but most of them were on the lower mountain. Could...

Digging it. Especially that first pic.

^^^ Agreed. That traverse is a working example of natural selection.

Thanks for the heads up about Goblin and Bryce.

Mtn biking will probably be a no go since I am 6'7" and I'm pretty sure nobody will have anything that fits me. No biggie, I love the road anyways.

Time constraints are limiting my search function use. Mag suggestions will be heeded instead. Not sure if this is a good thing, a bad thing or a great thing.

So I was going to go to Cuba on...

gonna be at the early show with a couple of friends. Hoping to get there by 6. I am taller than everybody (even eldo). I will probably be the only person wearing a tie, but it will be loosened....

Random posting just because it smelled like winter was coming when I walked to work in the dark this morning:

It is finally summer here in calgary:rolleyes:.
I am actually ok with that because...

PM sent because I am a shameless little beggar.

I tried Ron's code. I must be typing it in wrong or something.:D

Last year I ended up being in a scenario in avy debris. I had a BCA with the short handle (can't remember the exact model). I found it very hard to move any snow at all due to the shorter handle and...

God I love this place. It's like therapy for 9-5ers.

Glad you got it sorted CA.

Edit for a second person joining the slow clap. Wearing a turtleneck and sports coat.

AS a heavier dude I echo what others have said about building wheels. I built my bike from the frame up (C-dale supersix team) and put some 3x handbuilt wheels on it. THe hubs are superior and since...

^^ have you seen anybody spec it on their bikes as an option? Now that I don't work in a bike shop anymore I can't afford to build one up from the frame.

Not mentioned:

Santa Cruz tallboy comes in a XXL: 26" TT, 22.5" ST. BIG. I know a guy who is 6'5", 250lbs on the XL, he built it up with strong rims, Chain guide, strong bars and stem and a...

What the hell am I thinking?
Just put a deposit on a '78 KZ650 with a 750 engine shoehorned in. I don't even have a license. Cafe project for the next year or so.

Any word on a presale this year?

Love my Garbones and want...check that...NEED a pair of Bibby's. Sent Melee a PM but have not heard a thing

I was going to enter but then had to pull out due to .... old age and my mangina.

Good luck. I will be patrolling on the weekend. Hopefully I will get to be on the course to watch the fun.

I can only speak about the Inifniti. I bought a 2006 G35X this year. It has the older body compared to the newer 37s. I did a fair bit of research and bought the G for a couple of reasons, primarily...

Glad to be of help. Nice running into the two of you this afternoon.

Louise did not suck either. Loads of people though. PAtrol was kept busy with natural selection candidates all day. Backside was in nice shape with some pretty burly lines hit - some right into...

skied off? everything slid off?

Any mags from Fernie or KH got the latest update on what's shaking in their neck of the woods?

Anybody heard anything about Aemmers right now? There has been some campfire talk about giving it the ole in-and-out. I've been gone for a month so I am not too sure if it has been wind or sun...

They did a rebuild of a lot of the women's course a few days back. Groomers, then a large scale step program by the slippers that covers the entire slope - not just the race line. All in all, it...

I am on the medical crew for womens ski racing in whistler.

Arrive Sunday. Staying a stone's throw from creekside base. Hoping to get some good turns in my days off.

Well. Hello there.

Sad to see the Garbones gone but the Belafonte looks like it could be a great replacement for most folks.

I like the garbones though, stiff *and* long is ok in my books.

Some Lake Louise Factoids:

The Town of Lake louise is located 30 minutes South of Calgary and 45 minutes west of Banff in Yoho National Park. Over the last 5 to 7 years a large influx of primarily...

Any word on the horse after this mild weather? Gripen? It will be either there or the lake on sat. Not really wanting to deal with icy death with minimal fluff on top.

Tallest guy on the mountain....
