Parts 2, 3 and 4 are available, but less Ricci focused.

Here's a pic of Mit and the reason December was the only option for a ski trip.
Kid was born January 26th. Mother and son (and father) are all healthy and happy.

It's a mix of Kicking Horse, Rogers Pass and Revelstoke - more or less in that order. There's a longer version (20min) of the trip on vimeo, but it contains some boring inside-joke bits.

Thanks...

Thanks to those who offered hints and advice last month. The trip was pretty sweet for these eastern boys. Too bad we weren't able to hook up with any of you (random bathroom encounters...

Heading out today.
Should be in Golden tonight.
Game on.

Okay, it's pretty much a go.

Kicking Horse: Dec 17 and 18 for sure
Revelstoke: Dec 20, 21 and probably 22

19th is in the air. We're out-of-shape flat-landers so touring would have to be with...

Seriously? You're that much of an ass?

Let me know if you get Meesh (I think that's what he's going by these days) as your instructor/guide/recipient of offered beer.

If so, ask him if he's finally done his renovations...

Better...

Nice stuff in here. Getting me stoked for our trip to Golden/Revelstoke in a few weeks. Will probably be skiing Kicking Horse from Dec 17-18 and then Revelstoke from Dec 20-22. We were hoping for a...

Here's the latest thinking:

Arrive Calgary evening of 16th: Drive to Golden
17th: Kicking Horse
18th: Kicking Horse
19th: Roger's pass tour, drive to Revelstoke
20th: Revelstoke
21st:...

Thanks, Doug. Looks like a pretty nice place....I'll let you know if we end up there.

Weibo, good to hear that you might be in for the ride. I think our Golden dates will be something like the...

My thread was first. ;-)

Does anyone know if you can buy more than one Revelstoke Vertical card with the same costco membership? I know the cards are personalized, but if my buddy has a membership...

Cool, Doug. We'll definitely have to meet up in Golden since I am sure our dates will overlap. It'd also be great if you can check with your friends about their B&B - I don't think we mind a 20...

Dates: December 16 to December 23

Tentative Plans: Land in Calgary on the 16th, drive to Kicking Horse, ski a few days, drive to Revelstoke, ski a few days, drive back to Calgary. Mostly lift...

Damn. That's some serious stuff. Good work and I'm off to check out your site for order and showtime info.

d.

Cool. Green jacket, black lid, skiing on some Bro teles.

Title says it all. Need to get back on the boards and Saturday the 4th is my only opening this weekend. I refuse to look at the forecast.

Sick and ashamed and happy (and still holding out for that...

Done and bumped.
Any updates on progress?

Not a bad day, as these visuals will hopefully portray. Nothing gnarly (we're too old for that), but some nice, light snow to be enjoyed between wind-blasting cold on the chairs.

They're all ego-centric fuck-ups.

But Harper is by far the biggest ego-centric fuck-up of them all for not realizing that the others are also ego-centric fuck-ups.

Which part of "minority" did...

That's a beautiful area. Was up there a good 6 years ago and have been meaning to return ever since...

I finally spotted it on the newsstands here in Montreal. I bought three copies. I'm selfish and vain like that.

RIP Tim.

I guess it's safe to bump this now...congrats to the winner. Nice contest and nice final clue - feel like I should have been able to piece it together.

All I know is that when I link tele turns through the grass, the women swoon.

Swoon, I tell ya.

"Again?"






;)

Ditto. Maybe I went in too excited, but it left me underwhelmed. Don't get me wrong, it was cool to catch this in a theater and I appreciate the effort and intent, it just didn't provide the...

A bit late to this thread but, yeah, I've been on the 164s. They're mounted with demo bindings so I can't comment on their weight (any lightness they may have is lost under those binders). I'm 5'8ish...

How come there's no thread for this movie?

Just saw it last night and, while I can't claim with confidence that it lives up to it's reputation of "worst movie of all time," it certainly does...

Somewhat ski related....

"What is a saint? A saint is someone who has achieved a remote human possibility. It is impossible to say what that possibility is. I think it has something to do with the...

Slightly different version (there's a ton of them):

Wish that I could either write like him or sound like him (trying not to be greedy by wishing for both).

I'm still trying to figure out why you saw this movie given your rather low opinion of Shamalyan and his previous work...

I'd rather be the one being paid to produce shit, than the one willingly...

Thanks, grapedrink. That's an excellent clip.

Here's one from his recent Toronto show:

Sound quality is a bit off and it comes in after my favourite line (something like "you...

Just saw him in Montreal last night.

"I haven't been on a stage here in 14 or 15 years. I was 60 years old - a kid with a crazy dream."

This man has presence. At age 75, with a voice so low it...

Missed these additions. Flat landing or not, that's a pretty steezy looking line you pulled off. Your killing it-to-days skied ratio is off the charts.

Thanks for fulfilling the purpose of this thread, basom. I knew you'd come through for me.

(but what's this I hear about you only getting on the skis once this year?)

d.

Though technically not inbounds, the skiing reported on herein is certainly lift-accessed and required no more than a 2-minute hike to get to. The photos are a touch blurry, scenics outnumber action...

Thanks, frozen. It takes a special sort.

Happy Birthday to the first friend I was smart enough to admire.

Those who did, are all better for having...

And I'll just add that the 164 stiffs are a lot more ski than one would expect and certainly weren't lacking anything when I played with them in the woods of Jay Peak. Having said that, they are...

No, but I'm pretty sure I know where that one is...;)

(note: the attached pic is from Jan 5 of this year)

Nice photos indeed. Way to get after it and record it.

Hope you don't mind, but I'm just gonna attach my mellow mini-TR in here since it's not really worthy of its own thread.

First, a scenic...

It's been taken off youtube due to too much flagging from the community, but go here http://www.cbc.ca/mercerreport/backissues.php?season=2, scroll to the bottom, and click on "Canadian author Pierre...

And, since I'm here, I'll put Bruce Cockburn's name out there.

Not sure how well he fits in this category, but a big RIP goes out to Jeff Healey. Best blind, lap-style guitar player I ever had the pleasure of hearing perform.

We pulled off the 138 just under four hours after leaving Montreal. We'd be skirting alongside the mighty St. Lawrence Seaway, through Trois-Rivieres, around Quebec City and straight into the...

Nice work. Gotta admire the dedication.
All I've got is this one shot, taken before the midweek storm. Can only imagine how nicely things have one again become.

Once you get them to speed, they do the job for sure. Only issues I've had come from operator error (and a din setting that was too low).

I've got some 164s with demo bindings and some original 188s that will fit boots in the 320mm range. Also got some 179s mounted for tele. I'll be at Jay tomorrow and would be happy to share the love....

Sorry. I`m getting forgetful in my old age.

Sick and ashamed and happy (and less creative as well),
d.

The skis that is.

No takers on the proposed demo day at Jay yesterday, which meant that my girlfriend got to ride the 164s all afternoon. She's a strong intermediate skier, but tends to shy away...
