Go Leafs Go. This is the year™.
There are several reasons, but whatever. And no, I never voted for drug dealer Doug (Rob is dead) and his corrupt fat ass.
Skis are exempt from duty (but not taxes). If you ever buy ski shit down south, just remind the border guard that "ski equipment is exempt from duty" and they will let you through. Even they can't...
There were a couple huge melts this year too though, no?
Hung the last of the shirts and sweaters in my closet yesterday. Turn around and the whole thing collapses, one of the anchors completely ripped out of the wall. Turns out the thing was hung with 8...
After watching so many gopro vids of decent skiers skiing decent runs, I've come to the conclusion that I'd waaaay rather watch gapers ski than anything else. This guy's narration is entertaining as...
I fold it inside-out. Garbage in, garbage out!
The Trudeau memes are lame because he himself is already pretty lame. It's like punching down.
Here's my situation: Current provincial leader is Doug Ford, who is honestly the most incompetent, corrupt, bumbling idiot I've ever seen in charge of anything. He exudes malice and derision towards...
Moonstone had the guns blazing on Friday, saw it on the webcams!
I'm done for the year. Bring on spring - some more of that weather we had in February would be nice.
JC chair replacement. Whistler will be open late this time.
Was waiting for this one so I could start back from the beginning again.
Thanks for making these, Alkasqwalik!
Honest question: Do people actually find the "Leafs Suck" jokes funny? Like, I hate the habs and bruins and whoever, but I find any jokes or insults about those teams lame AF. In fact, making fun...
Ironically this is the exact week poor Glen Eden needed last week to keep the hill open for the March Break camps. Feel bad for them, they must have missed out on a lot of money this year not being...
Sup y'all. What's the current status at MSLM and Blue?
Man, and here I am in this concrete wasteland....
Some day!
Had a great morning last Wednesday @ Silver Star skiing with el hefe. I forgot to take a photograph for the internet people. Oh well - next time! Good tour of the mtn, useful intel, and a bit of a...
Place is skiing nicely - little bit of snow here and there was blowing around a bit yesterday, some pockets of nice stuff.
My stupid shin is sore AF (smashed it on a hockey goalpost 2 weeks ago)...
Man you boomers are soft AF.
We had sushi at Sushi Wood in Nelson, it was excellent. Even squeezed us in among the Valentines Day reservations.
They are posting on alpinezone right now about the annoying boomers who always want to ride with them for some reason.
Love the tone of this :) As you are able to log in and post on an internet forum, you are the exception. Sorry for the blanket statement.
I am gen x, well-versed in bridging the gap between the...
Tiger balm, icy hot, leg up on the wall, compression bandage, have all been working well. Read this last night and went out for a 5km walk and guess what - the swelling is like 80% gone. I swear...
You want boomers to be able to open up specific apps and figure out how to reload RFID cards? Ain't gonna happen.
What we need are specific lineups for old people.
Like, we know, Tony. Thanks for telling us how much Ontario sucks and how happy you are that you don't live here and have to ski these hills anymore - it's very helpful, truly!
Idea: Skinny skis should get on lifts 30 min before anyone else.
There are also zero secrets anymore. I'm not just talking about runs/stashes themselves, but even the systematic harvesting of fresh tracks is so well known now that on any given pow day I just feel...
This has helped a lot - thank you. Watching the big vein in my foot pulse that blood around is therapeutic in and of itself. Feels and looks much better after only 1 day.
11 days ago, was at hockey practice trying to teach our goalie how to properly poke check (it's all or nothing!). Kid does a few, all good, "okay one more time" and then boom - poke checks my skate...
Call me crazy, but I pretty much never bother doing this. Just click in, works 99.999% of the time. There is the rare once in a blue moon time where there is some snow caked on my boot or whatever...
Haven't been to Whistler for a few years now, been preferring the roads less travelled lately. But I always go somewhere - life is too short to miss a year!
Went to Revy a few weeks ago with a...
It's getting thin out there. I really hope Glen Eden can make it through the March break - they need that money big time.
You know, there are few people who have really seemed to have "found their place" on this planet as much as you seem to have with Sun Peaks. I really hope I can make it out there some time and share...
Couple things: Glen Eden is skied mostly by the city-dwelling 'non-skier' beginner crowd. These are the people you may speak with at work who assume because there is zero snow on their front lawn...
True but when your current skis become rock skis, you get to buy new skis.
Looks like Glen Eden has every gun possible cranking right now. I remember years when the snowmaking crew would be laid off by Christmas. Running the guns in what is basically March at this point is...
Oh man that's brutal. Heading out there soon, skiing March 10-15. Would be nice to hook up if you're around.
Stan is my favourite skier for sure. Love his W/B black diamond series on his youtube channel, just to see how he skis and how well he knows every little lump and tree on those mountains.
My...
would you say these conditions are acceptable?
I didn't explain properly. We'd have only 3 pylons. Guy#1 uses them to mark where you want the nose of the current car coming in to park, while the guy#2 directs them there. Once the car parks,...
Back in my lifty days I also for a time did some parking lot management. We had that shit on point in the morning for the big rush - we'd use pylons to mark out spots and direct vehicles in to every...
The snow arrived. Let the shit show commence!
Bold prediction: people complaining about lines and general Vail tomfoolery. Lee Lau chimes in saying "conditions were acceptable" and mic drops a...
We're early and there's more snow on the way, but lets see how Tomer's prognostications are stacking up:
Predicted 10-day total - 24", or 61cm
2/23 - 1cm
2/24 - 8cm
2/25 - 15cm
2/26 - 13cm
2/27...
I live not so far north. My lilac bush has green buds popping out, and the maple trees have their buds ready to pop. Wondering if these warm cycles followed by a blast of sub-zero temps for 24-48...
Well, that was interesting. Was that the first thunderstorm in February, ever?
Hail and intense rain - can't be good for the ski hills... can't believe LAST winter is actually looking good...
Probably best conditions of the year at GE on Saturday, which might be the last wintery day this season…
Snow guns blasting at -12, making what could be the best man made snow I’ve ever skied on....
Because it's fun? I like watching it daily and seeing how the storms come through and follow the jet streams and do (or don't do) what the models predicted they would. It's interesting and I...
This is the way. It's what I wear in the eucalyptus steam room.
You know those gapers who double-pole-plant? They are these people in the parking lot.
Well, people are dumb if they don't realize 10-day forecasts in the mountains are sketchy at best. But there is a forecast and that's what he's presenting. Everyone knows it's the 2-3 day one that...
