    Sorry for late reply. I was very busy with other trainings last 3 weeks.

    About the Super-G/Downhill, I spoke with another coach. I will let you guys know if anything gonna happen.

    For gate training at Cypress, I'm thinking to put one up this Sunday morning. In order to keep it simple, it will be a single lane course with 10-15 gate and it will be set below mid-way chair. In order to run the training, $2 will be charged for insurance purpose. Please let me know how many of you are planning to come out this Sunday. If you need a lift ticket, please let me know on before Friday so that I can arrange a 50% off lift ticket.

    Looking forward to see you guys this Sunday.

    Hi carvers/racers,

    I have 2 questions would like to get some thoughts from you guys:

    - Me and another race coach want to put up a fun alpine event. If it's a downhill/super-G event, we wonder how many people are interested? and what do you think? (For location, it will be somewhere interior BC)

    - For those who live in lower mainland, anyone interested in gate training at Cypress? If yes, what date and time you prefer? Of course, it won't be free. Small amount of fee will be charged.

    Any ideas or suggestions are welcome!

    Thx

    OMG! Cypress intends to open this Wednesday!

    "Mountain Update: With last evening's 30 cm snowfall we are working to open as much terrain as possible for Wednesday. We have some wet weather forecast for the rest of today and tomorrow before clearing for Opening Day."

    Yesterday, some people went up to Cypress did some riding on the parking lot:

    From Cypress website:

    Our Pre-Season Season Pass Sale Ends November 1st, 2012!

    It snowed very lightly most of yesterday and it's still coming down early this morning - a bit of accumulation (1-2 cm) at the base but more up top. Temperatures did not drop low enough for Snowmaking last night but the crew are on 24 hour standby waiting for the right temps to make more (click on the new Video on the right). We hauled snow form the parking lots all of last night to get the loading station of Eagle Express ready for a possible early opening!

    Be sure to catch our final Pre-Season Season Pass Sale deadline with just over a week to go! Get ready to Shred!!

    I have a feeling they are trying to open on Nov 2 and break the record again...

    Geo, I only have an old used freeride 145. Sorry.

    Hey Boris, good to know you recovering well.

    I've tried to edit the title, doesn't work. Have to ask Jack to change the thread's title or start up another thread.

    Internal training, does it mean there are on-snow training too? So, Cypress will open that weekend.

    NEW CASI video, course guild, manual, schedule are all updated. You can check them out on CASI web site. There are three CASI 3 courses in Vancouver region, one in Dec at Cypress, two in March at Cypress and Grouse again. They have added one more day to the course and change the teaching material. More detail can be found in the course guild.

    I heard Andrew will take care the snow park. That means, bigger park with more features this season.

    Boris, may be you want to do a gathering for all the Van carvers before the season start!

    Can't wait to be back on snow again!

    Here are the spec and description of Green snowboards:

    http://green-snowboard.com/pdf/green_snowboard_2011.pdf

    According to the spec file, it said these boards are developed by Marcel M (Canadian SBX coach) and manufactured by Aluflex. One interesting thing, it said "Premières planches SBX à rockers" => first SBX rocker board.

    Anyone saw this on world cup races or tried it in person? Would like to hear feedback from it.

    :cool:

    Change to Awesome Title!

    Not sure when will Grouse and Cypress be opened this season. Whistler opening day is on Nov. 22. I will be up working with the CASI crew until the Nov. 25. Hopefully, it won't be raining like last season.

    Will go up to Grouse to do some warm-up once it's open. Haven't do much exercise this summer. Mostly surfing in front of computer.

    Boris, when will Cypress be opened? Any insider news? How's your hip recovering process?

    Thx Boris. I suppose to know this. It's just hard to remember some of these terms during the off-snow season. :p

    How's your hip recovering process? what did the doctor say?

    ;)
