Knightchocolate Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 Yo Where do you ride? -Gusto hit me up I prayed for all of that by the way I was at tremblant yesterday... heading there fri-sat-sun probably... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loopback Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 Looks like all the local hills are gtg for the weekend! I caved and went to St Sauveur last Saturday.....300+ plus people on basically 1 run...I managed 4 linked, carved turns on the day. But it was snow!! I'll be carving the sh!t out of all 280 vertical feet at Pakenham on Sat and Sunday morning this weekend I could easily be talked into Friday daytime....anywhere but Fortune, Not sure if anywhere will be open yet though....I swore last year to NEVER ride at Tremblant on a Saturday again and can't justify the $60 lift pass for Friday. How was it yesterday?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knightchocolate Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 Yesterday (tues) was good... like 5 runs open. I am up there this fri-sat. I ride all day fri and then sat morning usually.. before it gets too crazy :P Where in Pakenham? You have a pass there? hit me up... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian M Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 I could easily be talked into Friday daytime....anywhere but Fortune, Not sure if anywhere will be open yet though.... I'd be up for Friday, Loopback! I think that both Vorlage and Calabogie will be open that day. (I might check that tomorrow though) I don't have wheels, though...so could I meet you somewhere bus-friendly? (I live in Ottawa South) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyser Soze Posted December 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 What's good Ian? Paul? & co.? Definitely need to ride this season, but I don't think I'll be good to go until after the holiday break. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian M Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 I called Calabogie and Vorlage today, here's what's open at those two: Calabogie 1 run open & beginner bowl Vorlage 3 intermediate runs open I thought there was more snow than that :( Might go tomorrow (Friday) anyways unless it's still too cold...

Ian M Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 I did go to Vorlage today, and it wasn't too cold :) The snow that was there was quite good, (firm art/natural mix) but there is only one run open. Myself and 12 other people were tearing it up. Keep thinking snow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loopback Posted December 19, 2009 Report Share Posted December 19, 2009 I rode Pakenham Thurs. night, it was hard, icy and fast as sh!t.....it was awesome! I rode Pakenham from 9-11 this morning and it was perfect machine groomed packed powder, no ice at all but kinda slow. They have 3 runs plus the 2 beginner rope tow runs....Slalom, Exhibition and Clifford are the open runs. I might go back for a few hrs tonight (8-10) and am definitely going for 9am tomorrow. philpjo is going too and another carver (non BOL guy I think,Rick) usually appears every Sunday. We are planning to try and ride Calabogie on Thursdays in the New Year as it is $10 with a SP from anther hill..... //Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knightchocolate Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 You guys all live around or in Ottawa? I usually ride tremblant on fridays...sat morning... (I have a pass there).. but I am interested in riding elsewhere as well! if Anyone is interested in riding after Christmas -- shoot me a line. I don't own a vehicle, so I just rent them whenever I go... :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian M Posted December 22, 2009 Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 Yes, I think Loopback, Keyser Soze, CaRtharthis, and myself all live in or around Ottawa. I'm off until the 11th of January, and will be back in Ottawa around New Year's if you're looking for riding company. It would be my pleasure! I also have no wheels at the moment, although sometimes friends lend me their cars :) Cheers, Ian :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaRtharsis Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 Hey. I'm game for evenings. Dropping the boards for fresh grind and wax tomorrow afternoon. When Ian gets back to town we will be baking my liners and we will be off to the races. Could posibly ride this weekend for a few hours in my old boots if anyone is up for it. Email me for contact info. Need to ride at least one night a week this year. Lost most of th season last year so alot of time to make up for.

Keyser Soze Posted December 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 we will be off to the races. Say what? Or is this just an Anglophone expression I don't get? FML. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaRtharsis Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 Say what?Or is this just an Anglophone expression I don't get? FML. Possibly just an English expression. Je n'ai acun d'idee comment on peut le dire en francais. "off to the races" implies simply that all tasks are finished one is ready to go.

Je n'ai acun d'idee comment on peut le dire en francais."off to the races" implies simply that all tasks are finished one is ready to go. Ahhh, gotcha. I thought there were actual races happening in Tremblant or something, and you were going to watch them with Ian. And then I felt sad about being excluded. And then I cried.

Ian M Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 And then I cried. Aww.... don't cry. RIDE and SMILE! Looking forward to meeting you and riding - I'll be back in town on the 3rd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaRtharsis Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 Speaking of Tremblant. Anyone in for a day trip or preferably an overnight? And the cry continues over here. Seems as though both my Prior's have some de-lam. Suspected it on the short one but big red only has a handful of days on it. Also there is no visible damage in the de-laminated area. Gotta love tuners who still do everything by hand and actually take the time to inspect the board. Hats off to Jose!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian M Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 That sucks, Chris. Luckily things can be glued back together. I split the tail on my Burton about 6 years ago, sent it to the factory, and their repair is still holding up. Magic glue :) Who is this tuner, Jose? I'm in for a day trip to Tremblant, any day next week except for Tuesday! I'll probably need to have my Stubby tuned before we go. Do you have your toe caps yet for molding? Happy New Year everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loopback Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 Who is this Jose you speak of and where can he be found? //Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian M Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 Are most people working this week? Who else would be up for Tremblant? Paul? Keyser Soze? Knightchocolate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyser Soze Posted December 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 Working working working. FML. I could technically ride tomorrow, but I'm quite sick at the moment, and braving the cold is not on my "to do" list until I get better. My rookie ass thinks my board needs a tune-up. Where do you guys take your boards? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian M Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 Keyser Soze - I've had good tunes from both Tommy & Lefebvre and Kunstadt. (Both on Bank street) I think both use fancy tuning machines - Montana and Wintersteiger respectively. When I take my board in, it's usually for a base grind to keep it flat. I'm going to start a thread asking others about their maintenance routines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaRtharsis Posted January 1, 2010 Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 Jose is the owner of Joe Mama's. Now located at 767 Bank St. Tell him I (Chris) sent you. I can do a Sunday ride maybe but next week is out for me. Perhaps the week after next. Wife is on evenings so that means I'm solo parenting.

Ian M Posted January 1, 2010 Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 The weekend works great for me too. Joe Mama's is a good shop, I just wouldn't have thought to take a carving board there 'cause they're so punk :D They've given some friends of mine really good gear advice on soft boards. I'll try him out some time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
