Mont Tremblant Gathering

[Ernie00]

for those you tought that the Tiehack chair at aspen was nausiating slow .. you have to try the morin heights chair !

St-sauveur beside the crowd isn't that bad on jibber since they gave them avila as a snowpark. St sauveur a few runs are fun to carve , then again I never go there on weekends because of the crowds.

Gabriel is so so in my opinion, only the Occonor's that you can get some decent speed. it's only half the width of the run because of moguls.

Since we can't quibble about sidecut radii or stance angles on this thread here's some data I can throw in to fuel the discussion :rolleyes::

[cail]

i'm glad there's a column with feet

i can't comment since i've never been to any of these mountains. but i would say less crowds are better.

[Ian M]

Hey CaRtharsis, I'm always looking for riding friends around Ottawa, and even found a decent hill last year. Calabogie does a way better job grooming their hill, and it is less crowded that Fortune and has better terrain variety to boot! Come check it out sometime with me.

Send me your email please? You're not activated...

Ian : )

[BoarderYUL]

Finally back on this forum ! Glad to see you guys and gals

I am in for sure. I'd go with Mont Blanc. Not far from Mont Tremblant, northern part is wide and nice. I've seen quite a few carvers over there last year.

[ARCrider]

and don't forget the MAS nationals at Tremblant.

same weekend

maybe I'll get my FIS card for this season.

any others?

hey is there a grampa category

[Jack M]

Jack Michaud (??)

I'm cool enough for this?

Hmm... would love to get back to the motherland and cut ruts with Coxie again... let me see what I can do.

[yyzcanuck]

I'm cool enough for this?

No... but because you're "Vice Administer-o-Plenty" it would be an honour to have you ride circles around Coxie! Did I read that right? Grampa? There's got to be a story behind that!!

AND... what's an Administer? Isn't that a verb, not a noun? I thought you were an Administrator-o-Plenty? Unless of course it's a description of what you do... Administer-o-Plenty of ...... (insert witty comment here).

[ARCrider]

Did I read that right? Grampa? There's got to be a story behind that!!

not much of a story Dave. My kids did all the work!

grandaughter Clementine Mar1st. thats why we missed ECES

and grandson Elson June 23rd. my girl had a girl and my boy had a boy.

looking forward to the SQS(squeez) and seeing all those yes people

hope you can make it Jack. just say yes

MtBlanc gets my nod. MtGarceau I'd go back to and I've never been to ValStCome but have heard good things about it.

I'd go to StSauveur if thats where everyones going. but I've been there when "everyone" was there. we went to MtHabitant to escape crowding.

Yeah... I dunno. That was Fin's status, so I just sorta copied it when I had to help him out with some admin stuff. I should correct it for both of us.

Congrats Rob!! That's great news. I also missed the last ECES - my daughter was born Mar 19. I hope I'm able to get up north and ride with everyone.

[BoarderYUL]

If some of you have not made your mind on the place to go, I just happened to find a video of carvers riding Mt Blanc. Thanks youtube !

It will give you an idea of the

.

[chewy]

nice video

I vote for Mont Blanc on sat-sun, or maybe one of those days at Mont Gabriel

And Tremblant on Monday

[trailertrash]

Would there be riding on Monday or just watching?

[yyzcanuck]

I would hope there would be people doing both... actually... let me suggest a third... volunteering too.

Monday is race day. There will be plenty of time to ride, cheer on racers and for those who are capable (ie:trained) and inclined (ie: ready to do a thankless behind the scenes job without recognition or pay) you can volunteer to help out with the race.

[Rob Smith]

Thanks Dave for the reality check. These dates are split (like the Olympics) Mon. PGS & the following Sat for the SBX. At least the PGS, H.pipe & SBX are at the same venue. The spread complicates the planning.

Rob, I'm not sure what you're referring to but... our plan is to visit the Laurentians on the weekend of March 28 & 29 with March 30 (30.03.2009)being the PGS.

[yyzcanuck]

Sorry about the delay in getting venues finalized. We've been waiting for feedback regarding the possibility of a demo day. Looks like it's too late in the season for that so we'll go ahead and make some plans without that.

After receiving a few emails from people on our contact list and reviewing this thread, I propose the following (reverse order!!):

Monday March 30th - Mont Tremblant

Sunday March 29th - Mont Blanc

The question now remains on where we should ride Saturday March 28th. There has been about equal interest in the following venues:

Mont Habitant, Saint Sauveur & Mont Gabriel.

Mont Habitant - plenty of carvers there but... small (?) hill.

Saint Sauver - larger hill (?) and close to Mont Habitant so carvers nearby.

Mont Gabriel - close to Mont Habitant too.

So... where shall we ride on Saturday? I personally like the idea of riding first at a hill in/around Saint Sauveur, then progressing North to Mont Blanc for Sunday, then North again to Mont Tremblant.

[feastofvermin]

put me in the "maybe" list. I suggest Mont Saint-Anne as a third spot, if it's not too far for you guys.

[ARCrider]

happy to see MtBlanc on for Sun

always wanted to go there

I'd prefer Habitant over Sauveur on a Saturday

can't say for Gabriel, last time I skied there would have been 30yrs ago

fun then. should still be fun right

just had a board meeting

2 for Habitant

anybody here racing on Mon?

[chewy]

was at Blanc for the weekend, its a great hill

Habitant and Gabriel are both good hills

[yyzcanuck]

feastofvermin... good to have you on board. Sorry, but St.Anne is too far off course for that weekend but I'm sure a few of us will be up that way for the WC race.

ARCrider & chewy... we've had a few emails pointing us towards Habitant as well. I've ridden there within the last 2 years (or was it 3?). Yes, it's small but really a good group of carvers call that place home and it would be good to join them there.

[yyzcanuck]

It looks as if the word "rider" is sometimes used to describe carving. The quote below comes from a thread in the Quebec Ride Board.

"Mais si la température est belle cette semaine j'ai l'occasion d'aller rider tous les jours et , j'irai !"

Regardless, I was trying to find something acceptable to all. I guess it's not really that important but acronyms give a certain feel to an event. I sort of like the wrinkle factor... many carvers are OLD!

[feastofvermin]

Yeah, that's pretty slang, the beauty of Québec's joual, it gets the job done. They can take an English verb, throw on "er" (the "é" sound) and they've franco-verbalized the English word.

That's exactly right, and it's a very common thing for us to do. We usually use "rider" (pronounced "ridé") to simply imply going snowboarding.

We also say "carver" (pronounced "carvé") to design the act of carving while turning, because there isn't any appropriate french word for it.
