Tabatha Posted March 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 I made it to Cascade tonight ... I did one run and left. The hill was shear ice. Looks like we need a little warmer weather and / or sunshine to cut through it. It was NASTY. I also saw people off piste, because it was way too slick for anyone to control direction.

slabber Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 I did two runs, called it quits too and am now enjoying a beer in the pub. The writing was on the wall when i arrived and the patrollers were loading an injured person off a stretcher into a car at the entrance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unitednihilists Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 Maybe try posting in the Quebec section, there might be someone close by that could lend you spare parts/bindings. Sorry to hear, that sucks. Keep those parts too as Fin might be interested in seeing the damage for R&D. EDIT: duh, just checked Quebec section and noticed you already did. Hope you find something! Pissed and cranky about my TD3's breaking on the first run, I proceeded try and salvage the trip by putting on my brand new, first time on snow, Rossignol Slats, (twin tips) and go have some fun in the trees and the park with my son. 2 hours later, I came up a touch short on a 180 and broke the brakes off of one of the brand new bindings. GAH! Not a great first day. Managed to salvage some of it though. Crap ton of fresh POW today helped. b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian M Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 Hey folks, Minor emergency, first run on a four day boarding trip to Ste Anne/ Massif, I broke a toe bale on my TD3's. Anyone know where I can get a replacement in Quebec city? The threading broke inside the mounting casing so I will possibly need one of those as well. I figure this is a long shot, and I'm going to have to spend the next four days in the park on skis with my son, but if anyone has any ideas, I'd be glad to hear them. Shitty twitter picture included. @doomsdayskis Dude! Sorry to hear about that toe bail. Not cool. Did I ride 'em that hard, or did you? :P 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over $30CAN to ship the toe bale to me. YIKES! Don't think I'll be shipping the broken one back to him. Unless he asks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tabatha Posted March 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 That sucks ... Why I try and get stuff shipped to places I will be in the US. In other sucky news; looks like the hills are closed in the evenings now. No more night skiing. Although the interview with Camp Fortune this morning on the CBC said they think they might be open late April / early May just because of the cold weather.

JKarve Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 I would love to join if this trip goes down on the Thursday of that week. James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian M Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 I might be convinced :) I can probably be flexible on the day, so if the Thursday works for James, let's do that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tabatha Posted March 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 Looks like Thursday it is! So excited ... just one caveat. I need to be home by 5:30 ... ??? Writing it in my book now ... Thursday April 9th! What are our car-pool plans? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unitednihilists Posted April 2, 2015 Report Share Posted April 2, 2015 I'm in for Thursday, I can take three (VW golf no roof rack) if you guys have other arrangements I'm ok with driving up myself. It looks like we are four. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian M Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 Yup, four with James. I did a lesson with him on Tuesday at MSM, and he's a great rider! We all have similar wheels; sedans or wagons without roof boxes. We can do two and two or Ben can go lone wolf styles! I'm up for driving, so who's riding with me? So... key question: who knows if there's parking on the Soleil side? If the weather is nice, I think it'd be awesome to switch modes to drinking beer on the beautiful deck at the Soleil refuge... it's got a killer view and sun exposure. Then we can stumble down to our cars at the bottom :D Wheeeeeeee! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JKarve Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 Don't trust my car to make the trip.....plus the muffler just fell off so it sounds like a beast. Ian, I would hitch a ride with you if you don't mind. Can't wait to meet the others! James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loopback Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 I might be in for this trip too. Not sure how work will shake down quite yet. I can have room for 2 or 4 depending what I take. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tabatha Posted April 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 Good morning! Last I checked, both Soiliel and Edge were closed. Thinking they might be done for the season. We can check again on Thursday to confirm. Ian ... can I ride with you? Happy long weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
