xy9ine Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 Im in town (and gearless) for the week; will be heading out later this week (probably louise or sunshine), and need to rent some gear. Any suggestions as to who in town might have the least sucky / potentially carvable hardware? I'm near the university. Looks like they have gear rentals...

Allee Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 You should at least have bought your boots with you, the crew here could have found you an alpine board and binders ...:) If you're looking for softie gear, then Sunshine has a pretty decent line of Salomon stuff on the hill, that might be a bit nicer than the usual junk. The university does have rental gear, but I'm not sure what it's like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdyno Posted December 28, 2011 Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 @Allee: FYI Alexis starts working at the UofC outdoor center in the new year for her final practicum, we may get insider info/deals/cool stuff. Let us know if you ever want to rent stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xy9ine Posted January 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 we swung past the u to check out the gear; turned out to be the typical short & floppy rental stuff. my wife picked up gear there (a negative cambered burton something - looked broken w/ a kink in the middle. weird tech), whilst i grabbed a 'high performance package' salomon burner from sunshine. longest length was 163, but turned out to be a fun ride once the i tweaked the bindings to eliminate boot out. havent been on softies for a few years but it was pretty fun - esp. w/ the 18cms of fresh (on top of a similar dump the day previous). great day up there; not a bad hill - apart from an overabundance of flat runouts.
