my boyfriend and I are sick of the lack of snow in Stockholm and have found some pretty decent cheap flights to Chamonix first week of March... Anyway, does anyone have any suggestions for places to...

Thanks for the info! I was pretty sure Banff was the best bet having spent a considerable amount of my life in Canmore and not having heard of any bus service or whatever. I told him that before,...

So a friend of mine has decided to do a season in North America, and he’s kind of decided he’d like to base himself out of Canmore for awhile and has asked me how easy is it to get to the hills...

Narvik perhaps? or maybe Åre... All I know is superficial knowledge of scando-land, but when I was asking my roomates of where to go at Easter, they seemed to think there wasn't much outside...

Is anyone actually reading all this?

B) Four movies you would watch over and over:
1. Ferris Buller's Day Off...

Oh god… My plane lands in Edmonton 11:30pm Monday, either into a total party or depression… My parents live just off whyte, so either way I’m sure it’ll be interesting.

Said it before, but I’ll...

Fuck yeah! Stayed up until 5am listening to internet radio... what a game! one more baby, one more...

i seriously heart rancid. if you hate them we probably can't be friends.


All time fav is The Clash. I also enjoy Dropkick Murphys, bouncing souls, op ivy (heh), and being from Edmonton SNFU of...

After a really rough year involving too many climbing accidents, ski accidents and funerals of really awesome people I had hit rock bottom… I didn’t know what I wanted out of my life anymore, I...

I’m a former Miss. Nude World and I was a Miss. New Hampshire, but once they found out that I was an exotic dance, I was “stripped” of this title.

Needless to say there isn’t anything in the top...

Ahhhhh! My team is rockin the casbah and I’m stuck on some European island (Hockey? Is that the Canadian way of saying football?) :cussing:

From a girl who remembers the 80’s dynasty and cursed...

A secret room leading to a ball room… JUST LIKE AT IKEA! And then when people come over and chill in the ball room they’ll lose their wallet or rings or whatever and that’ll pay for the rent you’re...

OhmygodisitgoingtobeCalgaryvs.Edmontonnextroundthatisgoingtobeinsane.

It’s KILLING me that I can’t watch the playoffs this year… The best I get is highlights on BBC world sports or waking up at 4am to listen to web radio… At least eurosport is never working properly,...

HA! I hear the city banned the red mile this year!

As of last week, I hear Narvik was quite nice (by my roommates that went there skiing over Easter…) the mass meltage situation hadn’t quite happened there yet…

I was in Hemmsedal (a lot further...

... I've just realized I have from April 7- May 2nd effectivly off of school... I'm skiing at Hemsedal in Norway with my dad until the 17th, but I'd be game for ski related trouble after that if...

Finally, FINALLY the stars were aligning in my favour. I don’t have a ton of papers to write. I don’t have any strange commitment. Not only has it stopped raining, it has been snowing all week. ...

My parents for sure… I’m not too sure I’ll ever understand why a prairie boy who didn’t learn how to ski until his early 20s and a farm girl kiwi who hadn’t skied until her late 30s thought it was...

PM sent!

1 done... 2 to go, and I still need to finish my undergrad thesis situation...

then the chaos of 24hours to pack up my life before I go to visit the family in NZ and then move to Svalbard for a...

yep. it sure makes thermoregulation a bitch when walking to school

It was -32’C in Edmonton yesterday… and forecasted to be -1’C Friday. Crrrrrraaaaaazy.

Back in the racing days, I had skied at hills while they were “closed” for the cold. I remember one race at...

Another vote for WH20
I’m probably completely biased, but every road trip I’ve made out there has rocked… good people, cool town, nice terrain, good snow and no big crowds. Plus, the food on the...

Bzzzt, thanks for the offer, but my mom just sent me an e-mail saying she was dealing with it. crazy parents. But I'll let you know if that doesn't work out.

Anyway, I'm there Jan 7th (I think my...

I have an overnight in Oslo while in transit… Anyone know of a good place to stay? Preferably easy access to the airport, keeping in mind I’m going to have a TON of stuff with me… and not horribly...

(buzz kill) ummm I don't think you can open a savings account at the Bank of Canada.

Tragic news indeed. Thanks for setting the record straight cp… I know there were a lot of rumors going on at the hill Friday.

My thoughts are with you and those who knew him.

play safe out...

When I was little I hated spinach because Popeye was so freaking obsessed with it. I figured it was overcompensation because it was awful, AND PLUS Popeye was a shady character, so who would want to...

Thanks to suicide prevention day, I'm in for SSV thurs and probably the Lake friday. I don’t know what skis I’ll be on… But red and grey north face jacket and black pants… and a brownish/blondish...

Lookin hot. So jealous right now.

My name is random and, well, I’m not that random. I’m more linear.

I LOVE that movie. LOVE it.

However, I do not know where to find blue track pants in Denver. Thrift store?

Dilemma:
While NOT studying for my exam tomorrow, I came up with TWO good ideas…

1. stilettos, glam dress, champagne bottle in one hand, icing sugar under the nose (with a slight nose bleed),...

OH! On the note about money… I know at least in the Uganada/Kenya/Tanzania areas USD are way more useful than local currency… And the kicker is, if your money isn’t crisp and new, it’s devalued....

I've been to Tanzania and Kenya and my dad works in Uganda... But I think East Africa is still fairly different than West/Central Africa. Regardless, you should go if you can. The plane ticket...

Clearly, not enough of you have had road trips through Alberta ... my favorite

But seriously, Drumheller rocks.

I'm a weekend only person since I'm at school in Edmonton... And there's a chance I'm moving to Svalbard in January... But if not, I'd be in....


On a semi related note, I'll be around causing...

But dreams are all I've got!!! You're not going to take that away from me, are you???

I got mine in the mail yesterday :) I guess there's some advantage to living in Edmonton?

Well, for starters, I have yet to land a date. It's been a childhood dream of mine to date some random dude from the internet.

Oh dear god. 10Kg is a big bird. Perhaps even too big for 6 people, even if several are starving students.

I think I have a lot of turkey sandwiches in the near future.

Yep. I actually half tried to figure out where they went, but the air canada apparently had no record of them ever being lost? A sketchy situation, but nothing was missing so I guess it worked out.

lookin good....

If things go according to plan, I'm moving to Norway in January.

That really sucks! I hope your stuff turns up, or at the very least get some serious financial compensation….

When I was coming home from Tanzania I was dealing with extreme heat and a friend...

I'm only there for two weeks or something like that, so buying a car is mre of a hassle than it's worth...
The plan is to ditch the car in Wellington and get one again on the other side to avoid the...

...underpaid maid or the mysterious employee depending how you look at first names... full name is (wait for it...)

Ah, that's what I figured. Thought about getting a rental car in Auckland, but somehow arriving at 5:30am and getting right into driving on the left in Auckland traffic leaves me a little sketched......

Sooo I’m trying to book flights for Dec/Jan, and I need to somehow get from Auckland to Tauranga and then Dunedin to Auckland…

googling all I get is quantas, freedomair, and origin pacific, but...

WHAT? really? that's awesome!
I'm speechlessly impressed...

any details for those who don't get the Hearld?
