No need to double check. The waist is definitely 18cm.

Vancouver, BC

I dropped the price to $100 + shipping. --

I'll be bringing a camera too, but only my point-and-shoot A640 -- I don't feel like carrying around the D200. Hopefully this time I won't get it soaked in soy milk. :) Thanks for the pizza-and-vid offer Steve. Saturday would work for me -- it frees my Friday up for another party. :) I'm looking forward to seeing y'all and doing some riding again. --

What makes this article different is the mention of YYZ Canuck as the hard-boot distributor -- although, they did spell the name wrong -- and Apex Composites as the designers of the plate system. I'm hoping that would help answer the age-old question posed by just about everybody who's wanted to get into hardbooting: where do you get the gear ? http://www.cbc.ca/olympics/athletes/story/2009/12/17/spo-jasey-jay-anderson-feature.html --

I was slipping quite well that day. I used KUU all-temp wax. I believe it's the Big Bertha wax. Nothing fancy. --

You just know I was going to jump into this thread. :-) I went riding at Jay Peak when it was -58C with the wind-chill. It was something like -28C without the wind-chill. I believe I also had similar temps on one of my outings to Tremblant. I find temps colder than -20C without the wind-chill to be the best ones to ride in. The snow stays fresh since it's too cold for it to melt, the sky is clear and the sun is always out, and most people stay away from the slopes because they find it too cold. You just have to make sure you don't have any skin exposed, you're wearing enough layers and your boots aren't too tight -- in general, nothing is restricting your circulation. Once you have that done, you'll have an awesome day riding toasty warm on hero snow with almost the entire place to yourself. --

For sure ! Er, Canada is at war. --

I'm selling my Sims Burner 162 for $100+ shipping. It's in very good condition. The base has a thick coat of off-season wax, which needs to be scraped off. And I have a couple of pieces of tape on the top sheet, which you might want to take off -- I used them to mark the mid-point of the effective edge. Oh, and the waist is 18cm. --

It's slow again. Crap. --

I back off when I go down the slope among a crowd because I don't trust the people I'm going around. --

1 board 1 pair of riding boots 1 pair of bindings helmet 1 pair of goggles leash Camelback Skikey lock Dakine tool -- like a swiss army knife I like to travel light. :) --

Corey, sorry for the late reply. I was out of town this weekend. I don't know of any open-source converters or recorders off the top of my head, but I can look into it. I've also been using Handbrake to convert some of my DVDs into iPod format and haven't had a problem. It works great, in fact. I haven't tried the OTB episodes yet, but I was planning doing so this week. --

I bought a Camelback Snowbowl in 2001 and it's great. It's made for winter. When you look at it, about the only thing that appears to be winter-specific (more accurately, cold-weather specific :) ) is the neoprene wrapping on the tube and the thick rubber cap that encapsulates the mouthpiece. I wear it over my fleece and under my shell. I've never had it freeze on me. I did try putting orange juice once, but some of it got into the corners of the mouthpiece and was really hard to get out and eventually turned black. I did manage to get it out. Other than that, I've only used water or Gatorade in it. Hope that helps. --
