  1. If you board is a Coiler and it looses camber it is shot !!!! Coliers are built with a core that is cambered not pressed to have camber. The only coiler I know of that lost camber also lost it in an accident ! Moral of the story is if you do not want your stick to wilt buy a Coiler.
  2. You responsible for the tail light on the Buick
  3. Is that Neil on the slope side with the thumb up
  4. Aside from saying hello to a tree front release is in my opinion the most dangerous thing that one can experience. Lucky for you it was on the start and not mid run !
  5. I have some cant wedges if you require any. Yours for the cost of mailing.
  6. The other important lesson to your daughter will be that she does not have to be just a skier !
  7. If you do not do it now you will only be older when you do it later.
  8. Whitewater in BC slated to open on Dec 10th. Son indicated backcountry sledding is off to a good start but avalanche threat is very high. Local bump in Ontario has been making snow for past week but heading into a warm spell. Tremblant looking pretty good for season start and Lake Louise held mens world cup last weekend.
  9. You can never have enough ! 14 electric drills and 3 drill presses is that enough E now if someone can fix my computer that refuses to display a question mark !
  10. I think the point might be missed by the casual viewer that alpine snowboarding is considered a blood spot by many on this site. Unless you are an Olympic contender and need that board tuned to hit the first gate in 20 yards I have been negligent in that I really do not worry about buffing like it is the hood of my car. I figure after 100 feet of snow sliding it is about as buffed as I need it as long as it was scraped flat after hot waxing. My uncle used to be fanatical about his hard wood floors until he slipped on a step and wound up in the hospital. His new standard was 80 grit sandpaper. I guess I am jealous that some people are so organized they have the time to gaze at their reflection on the base of their boards. Perhaps I should ask will wax protect my board from rocks and grass because that is what I will be contending with in the early season.
  11. Excellent tinkering !! Be sure to post after beating the hell out of them .
  12. More like driving builders to therapy ! But they all seem to recover .
  13. Usually Ibuprofen but on occasion Acetaminophen for the powder days !
  14. If nothing else is working for you bend zee knees up down and then holly shit that was close. Don't want to do that again !
  15. Back country fire up the sled and your golden.
  16. I think he's just avoiding his wife's Honey Do list .
  17. If you are planning a trip to MCC you might want to practice this nugget at your home slope. Turner is pretty much a fall line paradise. Not many flat sections.
  18. Down hill edge always the killer and you can't learn that on skis ! My son was always the park rat but enjoyed alpine board to race. Still hauls it out and sends me pics from Whitewater the absolute black hole of alpine boarding in Canada. Sometimes being the only boarder at a mountain is cool .
  19. Like a rope you can drag a kid but when you try to push them they usually go in the wrong direction. Keep it fun. If you really want a mini me get cloned !
  20. At what point would you no longer call it an experimental drug ? After all it has been around and used by millions ?
  21. The guys from India only want to know my credit card number !
  22. Rather than refer to nonverified sources could we restrict comments to verified sources and personal experience and observation ? We are now at the point no one wanted to be in Ontario. Numbers have exceeded previous point and hospitals have mandated that employees be vaccinated or placed on leave. The province of Alberta is getting military assistance and hospital emergency depts. are strained operating @ 170% capacity. Patients may soon be flown to other provinces. Living in a rural bubble as I do this is sounding more like a bad movie script where the hero is creeping closer and closer to that dark corner in the plot where everything is about to go to shit . Time to close my eyes and hope for the best.
  23. Keep referencing these studies and we will soon be a forum of science woke citizens.
