  1. Resort Review

    in Carving Central

    Posted

    Snow is dead! rocks are sprouting.Not good for carving. Lift tickets were $60. Le massif has better conditions .Traffic very heavy.Gas $1.06 Just a strip of snow to access chair and gondola. North side better snow but very soft.:barf:Le massif has more snow.

    I was there over the Easter weekend. I think you should consider that most hils are already closed and Ste-Anne is planning to stay opened up to April 25th.

    Yes Gas was $1,06 !

    In winter time, Mont Ste-Anne north side + Gros Vallon, Crete, Beaupre on south side is ideal terrain for Carving :biggthump

  2. Best late season mountain in Quebec or Maine

    You need to consider Mont Ste-Anne in Quebec city.

    Their north side has great carving potential and they should be opened up to April 25th.

    From their website:

    " Mont-Sainte-Anne has unveiled one of its best concoction’s yet: the Volkswagen Spring Madness program 2010, now a classic. Stretching out until April 25th, spring skiing at Mont-Sainte-Anne has already been rewarded as best in the East by Ski Canada magazine. The festive week-ends to come will feature shows by Poptron, Bestov, Gabrielle Shonk and The Porters (Johnny Cash homage), friendly competitions with acrobatic skiing Olympians Pierre-Alexandre Rousseau and Vincent Marquis as well as a Country Week-end and even a wine tasting at the summit! "

  4. Olympics - inside look at SBX/SX/PGS

    • They wouldn’t let me forerun for the guys (no FIS license anymore). But I would have loved to run the mens course.

    -Gord

    For all event, forerunning was based on the same criteria as the Olympics selection. So for men PGS for example, you had the next six Canadian racers who were not selected for the games as forerunners ( Pat Farrell, Steve Barlow, Matthew Carter, Darren Gardner, Sebastien Beaulieu & Richard Evanoff ) :)

  10. Coupe Québec - Slalom Géant au Mont Olympia – 9 Janvier 2010

    in Canada - Québec

    Posted

    Une belle ambiance avec 38 coureurs au départ. Certains en ont profités pour faire un retour à la compétition, d'autres pour se lancer des défis qui se sont résolus devant une p'tite bière au bar. Plusieurs prix de présence, une bonne ambiance avec la musique et des vidéos de race sur écran géant à l'arrivée. Pour un premier événement de l'année, le défi a été bien relevé

    Le grand gagnant: Jean-Marcel Dumont ( Equipe du Québec ) qui s'est fait chauffé par Sébastien Beaulieu ( Equipe du Québec / Junior )

    Each country has a quota per sport. In snowboarding, SBX/HP/Alpine is one sport, so the country has to decide in which discipline / gender they split their effort. Those quota are determined by their FIS World Cup results. You have max per gender & max of 4 per event

    USA & Canada, each have 18 spots, max 10 per gender.

  14. Race to the Cup at Copper and Party

    Well said Neil. It seems that every team had some very custom set ups. Impressive to see this level of innovation in alpine snowboarding. On the flip side, I have also never seen so many Northwaves in my life. Are these racers getting new ones made or keeping old ones alive?

    Northwave stopped making Hardboot in 2001 and scrapped their mould, according to the legend. Eveything is at least 8 years old. It seems like racers are finding more and more of these Northwave .950 in old closets. People who had them are now prone to let them go for nice $$.

    .....will get up a folder by the weekend. But in the meantime....

    Recognize the rider in pic 2?

    Look at pic number 3.....the secret Canadian plate system.....was in Surefoot and heard about how the Canadian team was in the back room leading up to the race....tinkering.

    The rider on pic 2 ( Siegfried Grabner a.k.a. Sigi ) is wearing Atomic RT ski boots instead of his typical Northwave :confused:...

  16. Jasey Jay Anderson wins Copper Race to the Cup PGS - 11/13/2009

    in Carving Central

    Posted

    Much of the time a race will be won by the rider who makes the quickest recoveries and Jasey is the best that I know of for doing just that. He pushes to the limit, goes just over, recovers and keeps it rolling like no one else. ...

    Thanks Booster,

    Ink

    You call that "EXPERIENCE"...

    Look at the age of the Top 7:

    1 ANDERSON, Jasey CAN = 34

    2 MORISON, Matthew CAN

    3 GALMARINI, Nevin SUI

    4 REITER, Justin USA = 28

    5 SCHOCH, Simon SUI = 31

    6 BIVESON, Daniel SWE = 32

    7 KLUG, Chris USA = 36

    Copper was no easy race, racing experience becomes a factor ( not the only one ) and Jasey is one the best at that play...

  20. sick start list for the noram

    in Racing

    Posted

    Others news from someone on the hill:

    One of the most bizarre course setting for the second run. ( the setting was different from the first one ). A lot of disqualified ( DQ ), it seems like Chris Klug was DQ's. Could go up to xx % of the field were DQ's

    A long evening before to have all the final results...
