I went on saturday...looked like mid winter. Lots of snow up top on gold...would have been great hero snow if it was goomed... Down below it was soft...not mashed potatoes or anything, more like butter cream frosting. Too soft to really enjoy hard boots, for me anyway. Switched to softy carving and it was much, much better. Watched some guy jump over one of my carves...they were deeeeeep.

LOL...then we get a 30cm dump at Nakiska over the last two days.

If Nakiska winds up with a big melt, Sunshine will be open until the May long weekend...not really carving terrain...unless you're on an all mountain or a softy carving board.

Depending on snow conditions, I'll join you in that tentative! The weather could take the snow fast...or it could linger...Alberta...sigh... Gary

I just have an Alanis Morissette song in my head...but I wouldn't recommend "one hand in your pocket and the other giving a high five" as you pass someone...

Riding up the lift with some skiers and one of my carving brethren is tearing it up on a RS Proto under us. One of the people on the lift says "He looks really good" and I quietly think to myself "do they say that about me too...?". One can hope...

As the subject says looking for a 3 degree cant/lift for TD2/3. Let me know what you got... I have a 6 degree if someone wants to trade.

"Ski boots on a snowboard? That is really cool!" I didn't know what to do with feeling insulted about an enthusiastic, positive comment so just left it there...

I still miss Fortress. Seeing the images from the inside of the chalet brought back good memories...

I've kept my old SB121s for the day I get a splitboard...

I have some in my basement that might be your size...I'll check and confirm. Might be m28, but I'll let you know. Raichle (Deeluxe) AF600 with BTS. I also replaced the instep strap with a clip as opposed to the ziptie strap.

This is all I got...no lift line, no chair, not even a snowboard...mods, if this is in appropriate, you know what to do. on the fatbike today finding sanity in as much snow and ice I could find (and avoiding mud bogs)...and roll up to a big 'ole log across the main trail that someone had graciously put a smaller one in front to allow a nice rollover. Popped up the front and unweighted the back to clear it and got a "yeahhh, all right" and "cool" from the kids a good "social distance" away. I pretend the studs on my tires are my edges when I'm cruising the ice. I then hit the brakes to see my carves...get it...literal lines carved in the ice...sigh...

The only tracks I can make right now...I was doing a lot of slarving today, given the softness of the snow and the postholes left by people walking on the singletrack...

Is that a Christmas sweater top sheet???

Just in time for the hills to close down I got a NOS EC 168 from Bruce for a price I could not refuse. 21.5 waist and 13/14 sidecut. He says not as EC as the ECVC, but still good for tipping it over. Now I have to be patient...
