"Nakiska" is a Cree word meaning "to meet" or "meeting place." (according to Wikipedia). In front of main lodge, need to figure out a time. Will send you PM.

Confirmed that @Riceball won't make it as recovering from hamstring injury.

ROLL CALL Touched base with @crackaddict, he's on the fence currently. Anyone else committed to coming Saturday? Alternatively, I would be game to ride at Louise too.

PRFO now has the 23/24 Ride Commissioner on sale, 40% off, and 162cm and 165cm currently in stock. C$570 is about US$412 currently. https://www.prfo.com/products/ride-mens-commissioner-snowboard-1?variant=40997935939628

Can't make Friday, working. But I'm planning for Saturday first thing. Need to get my K-Country pass...

Yup, both work now

Doesn't load for me @dredman?

the mounting discs

Looking forward to it. Just packed my boards and boots. Flying to Calgary this afternoon then working out of Canmore for the week.

Can you share which 3M spray you're using @dredman? I'm sure there's a few to choose from. Thanks.

I'll plan to bring both hardboot and softboot setups. Happy to ride wherever the group would like to go.

Confirmed with Nakiska today: they will be open 7 days/week through April 14th then just the weekend of Friday through Sunday April 19th - 21st.

Shop local to me is blowing out NOS and demo boots including Atomic Backlands https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/517504942/

Booked my flights. Flying 14th so only option is 20th now.

It's possible @1xsculler doesn't know you're James Cherry aka @crackaddict.

pinged Riceball off forum, tentative for April 20th at Nakiska.

I expect to be working from Canmore week of April 15th and will plan to bring my boards and get in a final day or two. @Riceball or anyone else have plans to be out those days?

My .02 - my first take was to put mine on the outside of my OG Burton Driver boots (from 2002). The boots came with a much softer plastic tongue stiffener there to start. So it was just a swap of the two parts. While I can feel the pressure of the lower end of the Powerride on my instep, it's not uncomfortable. I expect it could be more of an issue if I put them inside the tongue above the liner. I'll continue to run them on the outside. They're working well for me configured this way.

I can prob get to Canmore early April. Any interest in getting a group together April 13-14th or 20-21st? Will Nakiska still be in good shape then?

@freeflyer

Really? I was sure they were steel, albeit perhaps a milder version. They're considerably heavier than the aluminum TD2 baseplates.

Good looking out there... pays to inspect your equipment for sure. What size boots and your weight for reference? I'm generally using the innermost holes unless reversed toe piece for my 279mm sole UPZ boots. 155lbs with the short boots so way less leverage on mine for sure. I don't think the corrosion on mine is structural but I don't like it nonetheless. I'll look to clean up and possibly recoat as well.
