GSA slays powder as an immortal beacon to the rest of us, all trapped in The Matrix - wishing we were still alive. GSA therefore cannot die.

Okay, I completely agree the family was wronged, and should get something. BUT A HUNNERT AND TWENTY NINE GRAND? Fuck off. A free family season's pass? That sounds good, and maybe some meal...

I really like the bright LED system of the Trackers. That said, the LCD arrow of the DSP Sport is very intuitive and easy to use as well.

Interestingly, we had a risk management discussion on my...

Seems the latest Mammuts are geared to take lithium batteries or alkaline. That's nice - the extra life of the lithium is nice to have, and they're a bit lighter too.

I asked my daughter if she's...

I'm super impressed with the Pieps. BD really good a good job with them. I can't believe how fast the kid is with her DSP. She needs to be able to find two beacons buried 70cm down in a 40Mx40M...

Oh, so yes, the equipment list for the CAA AO1 has changed, and no longer has a very specific list of beacons and other equipment. The previous one was right down to brands and models. Interesting....

The DSP Sport is an excellent beacon. I'm just using the recommended equipment list that was supplied by the CAA, but oddly, has now been taken down. Perhaps it's being updated.

I'm more than...

My daughter uses the Pieps DSP Sport - the newest one, and I really like it. But, she's going to be taking her Canadian Avalanche Association Avalanche Operations Level 1, and it's not the on the...

Some nice deals there, thanks for the link!

I thought that too, but she skied the Rossi Sky 7 last year on a demo and even though they only have a 17M radius and yes, she skis really fuckin' fast and often with big turns, but she liked them as...

Damn, I gotta stay with what's up! I'll send her down to see you after she gets settled in. She's got some Black Diamond Shiva boots as well that need a little attention - they're packed out a bit....

Thanks for the input! Yeah, she needs more of a daily driver ski for when she's not herding kittens around the hill. I don't ski Sunshine so I'm not familiar with the snow conditions there - we ski...

Hey Dave, are you boot fitting at all in Banff, or still on sabbatical? My daughter has a pair of Gea touring boots that she's got down to being pretty comfy except for some shin issues on the right...

My 5'4" 115lb daughter is moving to Banff in a couple of weeks. She's working as a ski instructor at Sunshine. She's got a bunch of skis, but nothing really designed for "freeride" style of skiing....

Dylan Cunningham, somewhat of Revelstoke, often found killing it somewhere. I was up at Berg just backpacking and saw the track and then him and his bros walking out. His two buds skied top to...

On Sunday May 21, a young skier from Revelstoke ascended Mt. Robson via the Kain Face, and then skied the North Face of Mt. Robson. The third person in history to do so, and it's been close to 25...

Here's an artsy pic to keep the thread going...

Zappa for the win.

Do they have trophies for amazing tits? She has a lot of them, if they do. Slight tan-lines, but bonus for amazing boobs and some actual bush.

Tanlines and a natural red-head? Okay...

Spring time means more sun which means tan lines.

Growing up in the 70's I was raised on hard rock - Zep, Floyd, AC/DC and so on. But, man, I loved Prince. The guy rocked it out with funky beats and awesome lyrics. Me and the missus celebrated...

Prior to turning on your over, remove the rack. Then place it in the over just as you put the liners in - the rack won't heat up enough during the time to damage your liners.

That guy showed restraint. She needed a heavy duty beat down.

Not that school is hard - it's sure been easy for her. I agree that "figuring it out" is the idea, and maybe not sitting in a classroom for a bit is the best idea. Try some jobs, try moving around,...

That's her plan - but I'm encouraging her to spend a year or two "gap yearing" and just have fun. Thirteen years of school deserves a break.

Yeah, no shit, holy balls where did I say I was holding her back? Honestly, I can't wait for her to start finding her way - she's so eager to make a go of earning a living on skis. But, of course...

I still like my beefy G3 AviTech as digging avy debris means you can be digging some near-concrete like snow. I can put my boot on the blade to break it up and then move it. Can't boot the hoe...

This is a good thread - pits are indeed one source of info that must be used in conjunction with the other stuff. We went out on a day of Low/Low/Low but the slope we liked felt a little slabby -...

I still love my OR Trailbreaker pants. They have hardshell material at the knee and below with breathable softshell on the top half. If I had to replace them, I'd get another pair.
