Guest pat Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 I'm looking for people to ride with. I'm from Ottawa and I spend most of my time at Mont. Cascade. Post here and maybe we can get something going. It would be really fun to find people in the region that share the same interest for alpine boarding.

boyracer Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 Hi Pat, There are a few of us around on Bomber, good to see you on the site. I usually ride at Camp Fortune weekday nights, but if you name the time and the place I will be there. When there is snow, that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pat Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 Great, hope to see some of you guys soon. How is fortune as far as carving goes? I've never been there on a alpine board. I actually havn't been there in a while, are there any steep hills comparable to expedition at cascade? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyracer Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 Camp Fortune is acceptable for alpine riding, as long as you can deal with the often crowded slopes. I ride Fortune mainly because of the short distance to drive, and the $100 season pass. Like most local hills, short SL boards can make the most of the lack of vertical. I noticed your looking for some equipment, any luck finding what you want locally? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pat Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 Not really, I found one outta new brunswick. Shipping would be about 40 bucks, so now all I gotta do is wait for my next paycheck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyracer Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 NB isn't really local. Have you called Mountain Masters? They might have some stuff, not sure though. Also Sharks and Obsession in Montreal are good too, during the season. I just picked up a Prior from Dan LaChance in Tremblant as per this thread: http://www.bomberonline.com/VBulletin/showthread.php?t=11965, sweet deals!

BoarderYUL Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 Hey Boyracer, just picked a brand spanking new Prior WCR 185 over there too ! They had the nicest deals ever. Too bad they are not selling raceboard gear anymore ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoarderYUL Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 Pat, I remeber Dan Lachance in Tremblant had 2 brand new Volkl boards... don't remember the lenght though... I think they are 163. U can also try Obsession shop in Laval (obshop.com). They used to sell alpine gear a few years ago and they still have a few things. I saw a Oxygen Proton 168 (I think it was...) . Brand new, still in wraper. It's not the latest model, but they are really negotiable since the stock is kept in the stockroom and they want to get rid of everything!!!! And they probably still have boots too ! I bought Burton Fire boots last year for 200$ CDN (quite a good deal) Give them a call to check for yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skategoat Posted September 29, 2006 Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 Is Mountain Masters still in business? Last time I checked, their shop on Bank was closed or even demolished. It was on Bank, right? pat, are you looking for an SL board? I have a 160 Burton Factory Prime. I'm in Toronto but travel to Ottawa frequently.

boyracer Posted September 29, 2006 Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 Mountain Masters moved it's location a while back, it is now in the south end of the city (Manotick). Their number 613-692-4553. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not the latest model, but they are really negotiable since the stock is kept in the stockroom and they want to get rid of everything!!!! I second that. A few years ago I bought a brand new Sims Burner for half price at their Montreal store. The model was something like 2 years old, but it was untouched. Apparently one of the last ones Sims produced.

Guest pat Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 skategoat, how much would you want for that board? Are you leaving the bindings on also? If so how much would you be looking for? See the thing with me is that I ride with ski boots and leave em as loose as I can. I'm a ski instructor so whenever my kids or groups dont show up its real easy to slap the board on and go riding without changing boots, I know its not the best but it saves time since the lessons are usually one hour and switching boots cuts down on board time. What I'm getting to is that I cant have step in bindings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest vigilante76 Posted October 4, 2006 Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 heya guys... I just moved from Montreal to Belleville and am looking for people to ride with and learn from! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian M Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 Hey, nice to find some people here in Ottawa! I've been carving for quite a while, and would love to have someone to play tag with. I'll probably be out mid-week, and then on the weekend again. Who's in?
