Bullwings Posted October 21, 2006 Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 New York area gets 2 feet of snow. Colorado has several resorts open already (A Basin and loveland). You're getting snow out there in Canada. You know what i get?? I get 90F+ (32C??) weather over by my house during the hottest part of the day today... :angryfire Where's this el nino kid anyway? Did he see an ice cream truck on the way here and decide to delay the trip?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derf Posted October 21, 2006 Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 It wasn't real snow, it was melting snow. I'm not ready for snow yet, I still have my summer tires on, waiting for a REAL snow forecast (and sub zero temperatures - Celcius degrees that is).

Derf Posted October 21, 2006 Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 No appointment for me, I do it myself... at my father's house, no place to store them in my small (minuscule) Plateau appartment. I'm usually checkin meteomedia and waiting for the day before a snow forecast to put them on. And I only did 2500 km on my bike this year, less than the 3500 km of last year. But I have to say, I am stoked for the upcoming season, especially if can have a miny QES with Dave and Sharks at Mont-Blanc and a QES warmup at St-Bruno (every year, they have a free day for charity - December 18th this year).

BoarderYUL Posted October 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 Hey Fred, Compte sur moi pour y être ! I was maybe planning on buying a evening season pass at St-Bruno. Never been there, but since it's only a few miles from home, could you tell me if it's worth buying the pass for a few rides on week nights ?

Dave ESPI Posted October 21, 2006 Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 "End of season" sales were very very good to me previously in 2006..... :evil laugh: E-bay was also equaly good... and is being very very nice right now also :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernie00 Posted October 21, 2006 Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 I was up a tremblant this past tuesday with my students to hike and there was some accumulation of snow at the top. Nothing big a few small patches but it's has to start somwhere ! Made my day ! I got my pass at St-sauveur / Avila this year again, 35 min from my house and there is quite a bit of carvers. On Tuesday nights last year we were 7-8 riding together. I'll definitaly add up the 18th to my calendar and will try to make it to st-bruno for a good cause. At least this year I know in advance.

The grooming is quite good, but the hill is quite, quite small (100m?). A couple of turns and you are at the bottom. The inclination of the slopes is good. The crowds are usually medium on week evenings, lots of kids. I've never been there in the day or on a weekend. The tickets are not expensive, so in essence, compare between an evening ticket and a pass and see how many times you have to go for the pass to be worth it.
