Allee Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 You drink beer? Only qualification required! Let us know if you need any gear ... there will be plenty of spare boards for you to try, and if you need anything else, just let us know. Someone will be able to help out for sure.

Corey Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 Where did you book, Neil? I assume you'll be a ride-moocher like me again, let's make it easier on those we mooch from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually now that my boots are on their way from YYZCANUCK I started to get myself familiar with my bindings. I am a little worried that the Catek OS2 (short plate) bindings don't look big enough for my size M27 boots, even though they claim to reach size 27.5 - I guess I'll find out soon enough. Also is the 'How to set up your plate bindings' article fairly accurate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately I can't arrange the same stellar deal for you. But it is a much more liveable place than last years choice, and the location is convenient for whoever may be schlepping us around.

I don't know of anyone in the local crew that uses OS2's, but if you want to come into Calgary when your boots arrive, we can take a look at them for you. Drop me a PM if you want some help.

energyrail Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 Hey greg(snowboardworm), I'm planning on making this. then flying to comox to visit relatives and ride mt washington. If my friend hugh isn't going then maybe I could meet up and carpool. I haven't been to an expression session. but i have been on lake lousy for the equivlent of a good season over the last 8 years. I'm thinking if i'm coming to carve it up. I would rather be somewhere than the lake. rode at sunshine 5 times I think. nakiska once, mount norquay once. Norquay is a little narrow but gooming is good. only ever mt. biked kicking horse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Gendzwill Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 I'm sure it will be Nakiska the first couple of days unless conditions are horrible there. Last year on the 3rd day less than half the people joined us at Sunshine - the others either were not available or preferred to stay at Nakiska.

Riceball Posted November 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2010 Good news. Dave from YYZ Canuck contacted me and he is trying to put together a box of goodies for us for our session. I'll keep you posted. Thanks Dave! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Gendzwill Posted November 8, 2010 Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 Woo hoo! Now we just need some snow! Louise is open. I assume if conditions are bad at Nakiska we can use one of the fine alternate venues available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allee Posted November 8, 2010 Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 Have you seen the cam from Louise? A brown hill with one poor strip of man-made down the front. Sad, very sad ... I just hope that the poor start means we're going to get pounded this year. The last two years, we've had a killer start, and then nothing after mid-Jan. Either that, or they'll be having an extra session at Whitefish this winter! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
