Summit altitude is actually a moot point you are right. The skiable elevation is what matters. A summit of 6000' with a base lodge at 4500' leaves only a 1500' mountain for arguments sake. Marble is 1700' ( could have swore it was 1900' ) from about 30' above sea level.

http://www.skimarble.com/themountain.asp Anyone up for a trip to this one? 518m vert.... Yes we actually call it a Mountain.

Yesterday morning I was waiting with my 6 year old daughter to meet her ski instructor. My 177 Coiler VSR was standing against a post nearby. Another couple arrived with their daughter and were waiting a few feet away from us. I heard the little girl say to her father "Daddy is that a fake snowboard?" Before I even had an opportunity to turn around my daughter responds quite indignant "No it is NOT a FAKE snowboard!!!" Guess she takes this whole carving thing a little more seriously than I thought! I don't think the other parents were as amused as I was!

That's what I figured. :( I was just hoping John would be kicking in for all the additional perks LOL.

No love for Canada? Don't be hate'n just 'cause we have subsidized public health care!! LOL JK I was going to suggest Andrea and Dave at YYZ but someone beat me to it!

http://www.ncskiclub.ca/tickets.html $25 membership saves you a bunch over the season. There are a few other local clubs with different/varying discounts/perks. Was cheaper for me to do it this way to ride Vorlage the days my daughter has lessons than purchasing a season pass.

Who's going where tomorrow?

Just noticed this post. Is this correct?

Rode last night with Brian. Conditions were a mixed bag. Tons of lessons. People randomly sitting in the middle of narrow corners and in the trails. Piles of snow everywhere but not a lot open. I guess its what you get for $9.

Heading out tonight. Anyone free?

Too much abuse in the teens has left me feeling older than I should. Started riding soft boots in 88 and ski boots on plates in 89. Gave up skiing in 93 and haven't looked back.

Figured this was due now that the season has actually started. I will be at Vorlage for the next 7 Saturday mornings. Will have free ride time from about 10:15 till noon while my daughter is in lessons. Post it here for ride days or nights!

Bump. 185 still available. Need it gone. Bruce is building me a new toy.

Bombardier Aircraft uses these extensively on some aircraft lines. They allow more torque to be applied when removing than installing. Best part is they are not common outside of aviation and thus work well in secure applications. http://www.affasteners.com/products/phillips/phillips5.php

Quite likely the ones. Black with purple and yellow?

It isn't the things not changing that is usually the problem. It is most often the people that are assuming/expecting they should.

Really Tabby?!? The Royal Us/We?!? LOL

Wondering if anyone might have a set of these bindings kicking around they would care to part with? I still have my old '89ish Kemper Screamer kicking around that I have thought about making turns with again. These are the original style bindings. I broke one in spectacular fashion and subsequently tossed the other years ago. Let me know if you can help me out!! http://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-KEMPER-RAMPAGE-SNOWBOARD-/220920270363?pt=Snowboarding&hash=item336fdfce1b#ht_500wt_1287

On it. Nice find.

May want to reconfirm that Brian. Received an email today. Price is up to $340.

I have the same issue John. I find flat light very unnerving to ride in and like you have cut many days shorter than I would have liked just due to comfort level. I snapped a strap hinge on a pair of Scott goggles last season so I have to replace them with something that will also suit night riding. Anyone have recommendations for wide goggles? Or a solution on how to fix the size adjuster retaining clip molded into the inside of a Smith helmet? Mine cracked and now i have to wear a hat to make up the extra space inside the helmet. Either that or I was going to use boot fitter foam to fit it a little better.

"just shakes head"

Happy Snow Day!!!!!!!

Mike you have any pics? Btw, was it you that borrowed my toe caps?
