Hi all,
I'm a Belgian, mostly riding in Europe (France, Switzerland, Austria, Italy) on an F2 Speedster RS 183 Equipe + a Swoard 175M + a Dupraz D1+.
In February 2024, I'm going to Calgary/Banff for 12 days. I'm debating to take my own board and boots with me but flying over a quiver is expensive. Therefore, I'm looking for alternatives.
(1) Are there alpine boarding shops in the greater Calgary area, or in Banff - Lake Louise? Rental of buy?
(2) Is there any chance to acquire Mountain Slope .751 boots in that area? (If yes, then I won't take my own Deeluxe Track700.)
(3) Are there any possibilities for taking some hours of private courses with an alpine snowboarding expert?
(4) Tips for ski areas and/or slopes that I specifically MUST or mustn't go to on alpine gear?
(5) Any general advice?
Thanks for helping me out.
Kind regards from Belgium,
Gilles
