Fuel is surprisingly not that expensive. An A-Star burns about 48 gallons/hour. The cost of Jet A in Alaska is about $5.50/gallon. That’s an hourly cost of $264. To use Silverton’s own price of $7880...

The townsfolk in Fernie, Canmore, Crowsnest Pass, etc. will likely get their wish this weekend with people staying home. 10-20cms in the forecast so all biking and hiking prospects have been wiped...

I’m not going to comment on the refund thing because I do not work in the heli-skiing industry. I do, however, fly helicopters in Canada. I’d like to know who these organizations are getting to fly...

Fernie: it’s good base building snow, I promise.

Avalanche control was getting some very big results. Snowpack is very spicy with very wet very heavy snow on the crust. Snow was not nearly blower...

Fernie was decent today. Definitely some fresh to be found. Some more limited terrain openings today but Currie, upper Lizard, and upper Cedar.

There was a good sized slide into Siberia at some...

How often is it that the Kicking Horse gondola doesn’t open?

Currently raining in Fernie. Whitepass and Timber closed just after lunch for avalanche control. The claim of a freezing line at 1500m on the resort weather report was very generous. I encountered...

WC racers certainly use custom footbeds. They use what amount to completely custom boots and a key component of any custom fitting boot is ensuring your foot is adequately supported on the...

She really does not appear to have any desire to be a mainstream celeb like Vonn or Miller. It is really clear that throughout both their careers they were angling hard for that mainstream celebrity...

I’m not sure she wants to be the next Vonn or Miller. I think she’s there to win, not to be a face for sport.

I wouldn't bother. Judging by the bright orange on the one edge I'd be willing to bet there's probably some wicked corrosion going on with that edge right under the toe piece. Sooner than later it'll...

I find it very hard to believe that there isn't a rub and tug closer to Kraft's vacation home. I'm not saying he's guilty or innocent but I think there must be something bigger in play here for Kraft...

I have always considered it to be a closure and it's always been explained to me that skiing above red is not allowed. I am not sure if it was in place on the day this incident occurred, however...

No information on punishment. I would expect at least until the end of this season if not a one year ban. From what I understand the two people involved knew better than to do what they did and...

Cause was two Livingstone Ski Academy students hiked above the top of red. They were skiing terrain that anyone who has skied at Castle for any length of time is out of bounds. It wasn’t a case of a...

I feel like Mikaela is concerned with skiing and only skiing. While Bode and Vonn are concerned about the greater stardom surrounding their status as professional athletes as well as their more...

You could cut that tension with a knife. I wonder what is going on with Mikaela and Lindsey.

I think this has about a snowballs chance in hell of actually happening. Sunshine, Nakiska, and Lake Louise are going to come out swinging to stop this. RCR killed fortress once in 2004 and I don't...

Maybe it's just the fact that I was not alive for the time of Ingemar Stenmark but I think right now is a truly awesome time for the World Cup. Not only do we have Shiffrin who will likely become the...

Full Vonn interview if anyone is interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATtk0ErFhtI&t=77s

I'm very surprised she actually started today with the goal to seriously compete. It's too bad really because she had an amazing career and going out with a DNF today and quite possibly a DNF...

The comparison arguably doesn't even work when faced with results from different leagues that should theoretically be comparable (i.e. NORAM vs Euro Cup vs other continental cups). The comparisons...

That's some disturbingly revisionist shit right there. I cannot believe there are actually people, like you, who believe this stuff. These "christians" who support "traditional marriage/values" also...

I truly do believe that the arrival of Shiffrin on the scene will work to speed up Vonn's retirement. It is clear that the only reason Vonn is still skiing is to chase records but now with Shiffrin...

Is this the same woman that was bitching about pot being legal in Colorado a few years back? Some people just need to chill.

And here I was thinking the Collingwood privates were the pinnacle of skiing.

What’s the conspiracy? That G3’s answer is bullshit? Or that the engineer(s) quite clearly said they shouldn’t have failed?

I’m not sure why you’re proclaiming this to be a conspiracy, self...

I don't think it helps that 1) G3's response to this was quite obviously a load which is definitely magnified if OP is to be believed about what the G3 engineer told him, and 2) the stomp pad even...

Epoxy doesn't take wax or look as good as ptex.

Definitely need to PTEX that.

It's quite simple to do yourself:

1) You'll need to sand the inside of gouge so that it is smoother. I use 80 grit sandpaper and go until large bumps are gone and...

I've got high arches and wide feet. I find that Tecnica boots work pretty well.

I get the strong sense from their statement that those engineers were not supposed to say that.

There’s also the issue of all of their marketing materials for the brakeless binding very clearly omitting the stomp pad. Based on this statement it was obviously clear from the beginning that G3...

While their response is admirable, I’d be very interested to know how they didn’t catch this issue earlier in the engineering stages. I’d also be very curious how G3 managed to put out a huge amount...
