[Progression]

CASI-ACMS offer a carving module to level 1 instructors

this course is a 2 day overview of beginner to advanced carving and a solid bag of tricks for basic carving to intermediate carving teaching(green and blue)

get 4 level 1s interested, and I can do the course over a weekend or in 3-4 nights somewhere in the St Sauveur valley...your call

[BTS with Red Springs]

am on full blues now

started with the reds but at 225 pounds at the time even with no preload they felt like locked in boots with the standard ride/walk in ride mode

then went to red heels and blue toes but the heel felt dead

so here i am with blues.....yellows soon??? not sure i want that much easy play...we shall see

[Gondola at whistler collapses!]

I have been at that bus stop while working at base 2 rentals and was wondering what would happen if a truck hit that pole

now I know

should not be an affect on ski-board access, taking a bus from the village to base 2 midstation will get you up blackcomb

CBC news is saying collapsed....no car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Jasey-Jay break its board]

so good to see him in slow mo...in person all those recovery moves just blend into a smooth run

[Mont Tremblant Gathering]

was at Blanc for the weekend, its a great hill

Habitant and Gabriel are both good hills

[sole plate]

I have been going over the gear before my first day on hard boots and cant seem to find my sole plates for my 29.5 af600, made oct 02.....did they have any? and do i need em? I ride standard overlap liner with superfeet corks.

can any one post a pic?

thanks for the help

[e rings]

any real feel difference?

more play?...less response?

I have TD2 with the purples and am wanting to go for the TD3 center disk and more cush of the TD3 e-ring but don't want it to feel sloppy

i am stuck on mediums or yellows

when the yellow TD3 e-rings arrive could I order disks and e-rings only, I have no real need to get more cant plates (flat flat for me with af600 and a WCR 77)

thanks

[Unused Deluxe Suzuka Mondo 25 - $200]

bump

such a good deal and the right size for my lady, but shes pregnant with the second one and has so little time riding....

[Tremblant (dec 5-6-7)]

Je suis niveau 4, évaluateur 2 et je travail sur mes rookies 3 pour en donner.

Casi-acms a un module carve disponible au moniteur 1 (bon prep pour le carve du 2) mais c'est basic et on peut le faire en soft.

Rendu au niveau 4 chaque moniteur doit prendre une spécialisation, carve ou freestyle, moi jai fait la carve.

Je travail a Tremblant depuis 98-99 comme moniteur et maintenant comme formateur aussi.

J'habite Ste-Adèle.

[Tremblant]

la montagne est folle

[Tremblant (dec 5-6-7)]

Godbout était mon superviseur a tremblant dans le temps

[Tremblant (dec 5-6-7)]

[on avait une clinique avec un niveau 4 de l'alliance.]

ski ou snow

[convex base?]

we all fear change

how can anyone diss something they have not tried

concave boards were once the norm, so were rockers

[Rockin' the hard boots again]

Yes, run, don't walk, to Surefoot and get some custom footbeds and liners and your days of pain will be over. Their product works wonders in hard boots and even in soft boots!

custom footbeds are an indispensable part of your equipment

after 3 years with comformable I now ride superfeet corks(starting second season, 120+days last season)

we should ALL get some version

if not for pain, then fatigue

imagine more runs with less energy used

seriously incredible

[Canadian Snowboard Team (Who's waiting in the wings)]

no video of Bulota on that last one

[Best Softie Carving Boots (currently being made)?]

Malamutes.

[Do you de-tune?]

its all about personal feeling

all 12 of my boards have round as a butter knife tips and tails to the contact point then a gradual detune to tuned from the contact point to boards center

much less on a carving deck or a pipe deck and a lot more on a pow stick

my jibber deck has no edges but anyone of my boards with the physical ability to carve and pop is a razor blade anywhere from 1-1.5 base, 1-3 side

just my 2 cents

[Do you de-tune?]

like ray said

[Mont Tremblant Gathering]

nice video

I vote for Mont Blanc on sat-sun, or maybe one of those days at Mont Gabriel

And Tremblant on Monday

[Mont Tremblant Gathering]

Garceau

yup its a nice one and they even have some great carvers that rock the place.

bigger than st Sauveur but smaller than blanc, its an old family hill with natural swerving runs, kind of narrow

there are many other hills too

Mont Saint-Sauveur, Mont Avila, Ski Morin Heights(secret glade heaven), Mont Olympia, Ski Mont Gabriel, Chantecler, Mont Habitant...and others too

Habitant is very popular with the carver crowd but a mellow and short hill

Gabriel is the widest run option, gets my vote...very few lineups

i really dislike st sauveur/avila Tons of weekend warriors, small, and full of the jibbers

most of these hills have night riding too (not tremblant, blanc)
