How are the trails for carving? Great! Unless there's a crowd. But that's anywhere How’s the club Med for carvers? Do they have carving boards and instructors ? You'd have to call. I doubt they have equipment nor instructors. What time of the year are you planning to go? I suggest early/mid Feb. End of Feb, early March might get into school breaks. Starting mid-March, you might get mixed conditions as the top will be hard and the bottom will be soft (600m vertical drop) This is what you can expect for good carving runs . There are some nice runs around the Camp-Boule section and also some nice blacks on the West side but often they're not groomed but when they are, it's awesome.

This week, I hop on the chair and a snowboard instructor rides up with me. She glanced at my board with a confused look on her face and then asks "It that a ski?". I then had to proceed to "educate" her. She even took a picture of it!!!

De ce temps-ci, il faut arriver tôt, à l'ouverture. Ça se dégrade assez vite. Un bon 2hrs, après ça, ça se corse.

What's Everybody's Quiver Looking Like For The 23/24 Season?

The last two on the right haven't been used in a long...long... time. The others, I make sure to take them out at least a few times a year. -
I've had the same SBC liner now into a 3rd boot (must be like 5-6 years). Here's a video with an UPZ RC10 boot (it's now in an UPZ RCR). You can see that it gives a few more inches over the cuff. Probably two more inches than the standard liner. I've added some loops to the liner and fitted the Shoxxter strap while putting a Booster strap around the cuff.

Je pense que j'ai assez de planches pour l'instant !!!

Si qqun cherche de l'équipement neuf pas trop cher, sur leur site transactionnel, Oberson a des ventes sur des boards F2 ($420, $560, $630), bottes Deeluxe 325 ($378 pour des 26.5/27.5) et fix F2 Race Titanium ($203 pour des Small). Certains items sont à Laval, d'autres à Brossard.

I know that some of you are into vintage boards. I was in Switzerland last week and we stayed at my girlfriend's cousin for one night. Her husband was a rep for Flow and Winterstick AFAIK. He kept some boards from that time. I took pictures of them. Maybe nothing out of the ordinary but thought that some of you may enjoy. (Mods: if there's a thread for this content feel free to move it there)

Did you also exchange chicken recipes with JJA? (he's got a few himself)

Just received my SNX-20 from Jasey Jay. 162/20cm 9/10.5/10 radius 16mm taper Construction similar to a ClearZ but a bit softer. There are inserts for a plate but I doubt I'll put one on. I've already enough of those When I visited him this summer, I saw the topsheets for the skis he's making and wanted the same treatment for my board.

Agreed. I was being a bit facetious as often comments are sparse and often not that helpful. But given the various constraints, AI/ML could possibly be helpful here. I wonder what the FSF thinks of this. Even if it is "new code", it's based on other code which may be GPL'ed (or other restrictive licensing) and that say, a specification is implemented using a novel alogirithm in that code that the AI/ML tool used in its training set. The AI/ML tool looked at the code (not the specification) and may "rewrite" the code but in the same/similar way as that algorithm. It did not create a new work of the algorithm only from the specification, it created a derived work (just IMHO. Not here to argue. Just raising a point). You can see that with AI "art". We've been (and still going) thru this with sampling music. Mind you, I'm not too fond of the FSF having had to deal with them a long time ago (they wanted us to put out the work as GPL, we did not, we created our own license which was fairly permissive but we retained the IP) IP is a big can of worms. Some lawyers will make a killing with this

"David Choi, another study author at DeepMind, imagines running the model in reverse: translating code into explanations of what it’s doing, which could benefit programmers trying to understand others’ code." That'll be useful as the most common comment in code is something like // Do stuff

Mount Sainte Anne, shut down - Re-Opens!

At least someone found a good use for the cabin that fell to the ground (off hours, so nobody got hurt). BTW, RCR is the owner of the resort.
