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 ?

Neil, I tried to blame the wax - but everyone I spoke to on the hill that day was having the same issue. I'd waxed with KUU cold before I went, because I knew it would be freezing - it didn't make a damn of difference. I hate to think how cold it must have been getting overnight up there...
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.

From the article posted:
(...) Mixed race kids are the cutest (that is not just my opinion!!).
For sure !
Under what circumstances would you join the army: If the uniform were pink. No, seriously, if Canada went to war, then I would consider signing up.
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.

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.

Mac folks, try this:

I converted episode 7 to .mp4 format with SUPER. It plays fine on Quicktime on my Windows machine.
Works great. Thanks !

Seems to be fixed now.

Yep, I'm having the same problem. My original suspicion was a network timeout issue on the server side.
--
-
VLC isn't working for me for episode 7. It doesn't detect the corruption and ends up pausing and skipping all the time. Very frustrating.
My suggestion is to grab an open-source program to record it or use an open-source program to convert it to another format.

I don't know what happened there.
Huh !? What do you mean ?

Episode 5: http://www.adrive.com/public/8d7db98f41051e181b5400f906a67592dacde25b841e835f107026668b9a0fc9.html
I'll upload 2 & 3 tonight.

Looks like a Windows-Mac issue, as I suspected, which means a CODEC issue.
In my case, it plays best with the Quicktime player with flip4mac. The others start playing it, but get stuck.

Amazing to think that the last weekend of Oct, there was dirt at the gondola bases, and people were still riding their mountain bikes up the hill...
The only snow there was at the top, say, 10% of the mountain and it was only a sprinkling of snow -- you could see rocks sticking out above the snow when you're standing at the base. This shot was taken on Oct. 31. The white parts on the road are water, not snow or ice. It rained all morning and half the afternoon that day.

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