Guest Tolik Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 Hi, guys. My name is Anatoly. I've came to Canada from Russia, to study. I've used hardstuff over 2 years. I'd like to ride with you:D Can I still join in, it'll be good for international relationship;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csquared Posted January 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 Okay, here (courtesy of our friend YYZ and with a few late additions) is the list as it stands right now. 1,2 csquared & friend 3 Skategoat 4 John O'Brien 5 Ruhtra 6 ARCrider 7 Greg Marsden 8 pmWizard 9 John H 10 Rob-CanCarve 11 Chris Ball 12,13 Beth, Derek 14 Rob Smith 15 Mike McNally 16 Dan Stewart 17 Darren Eagles 18 Veector 19 Imo 20,21 Andrea & Dave Morgan 22 Anatoly (Tolik) 23 Bruce Varsava 24 Chris Houghton (I presume) We are over the 20 target but I think we can swing it. However, I am going to close the list at this point. Apologies to anyone who missed this post early enough to get on. VEECTOR, IMO, ANATOLY, I need your real names to go on the ticket list (I know the rest of you). When you arrive on January 27, you will only be able to pick up a ticket if your name appears on the guest list for the day. BETH & DEREK, you need to remind me of your last names and I think you mentioned that you wanted to bring a relative (need his name). Some changes: the ticket office will be collecting the $40 price of your ticket for the day. In addition to paying for your ticket, you will be required to sign a waiver form (this is standard procedure for mid-week groups at the club). I will post more updates the week of the event so stay tuned. Oh yes, pray for the weather to improve. Its looking grim for the coming week.

CarveItUp Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 Chris, I finally found my brother (funny his office is about 100m from mine, but one or the other of us was away for the past week and he was having e-mail problems). He'd like to come if there is a spot. His name is Colin McNally. thanks! beth carveitup.net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csquared Posted January 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 This year it is going to be known as the McNally Clan Session. Welcome to the MCS everyone. Sorry about the sarcasm Beth. Yes, Colin can come. Fear not Rob Sydia, you know I know you. I was just trying to be discrete with names here because not everyone likes to be public with such things. Watch for updates next week and if you have any contacts in high places make a plea for snow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csquared Posted January 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 Apologies, I mis-reported the ticket price (sigh). For Fridays it is $50 (the $40 is Monday through Thursday). If you all want to pull out, I wouldn't blame you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarveItUp Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 Joking aside, I think the McNally Carving Session is scheduled for reading week at Holimont this year. The video on carveitup.net at Sunshine is from our trip there 3 years ago. There are 3 McNallys in Toronto who ride but they didn't respond in time. There are also 3 west coasters who ride and others sprinkled across the country. I think we have 11 or 12 people riding plates total. beth carveitup.net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csquared Posted January 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 Veector: Osler has the highest vertical drop of the Collingwood hills at 800 vertical feet They are all pretty close to this but Osler's part of the escarpment doesn't start out with that typical minimal slope table land drop for the first 100 feet so the real riding starts right from the chair terminus. The runs are mostly blue with a few black runs that have 400 foot drop pitches. Most of the runs have ample width for carving and the grooming and snow conditions are quite good (to the extent that the weather cooperates). The club works well for carvers of all ability levels but I think experienced carvers get the most pleasure. Being a private club, the traffic is light and the skiers are mostly of a high ability level (less issues with novice skiers in the way but more issues with racers and pretend racers running you down). You could visit the club web site here for more info but the web site is not that informative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veector Posted January 14, 2006 Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 csquared: Thanks for all the info, i was just having a look at the trail map and some of the pictures and i cant wait to get out there! And the whole low traffic thing puts a smile on my face beucase theres nothing worse than waiting in lift lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Houghton Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 Chris - I'm in, should I bring skates instead of a board? Praying for snow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarveItUp Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 I've got all of my fingers and toes crossed that it cools off a bit. This could be an interesting session.... Collingwood is showing rain and/or freezing rain and/or snow for 3 of the next 4 days, but hovering around zero for temperature. beth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pm_wizard Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 The good news is that Osler has a very good thick ice base built up, so as long as it gets a bit colder the crew will be making snow and it will stay. Unfortunately, the longer term forecast is not promising. What an odd season we are having. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglez Posted January 20, 2006 Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 Hey all, Do we have an itinerary for the Day. When and where to meet etc. Darren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted January 21, 2006 Report Share Posted January 21, 2006 This from Osler Bluff web page this morning... "UPDATE FOR SATURDAY JANUARY 21, 2006 22 cm FRESH SNOW OVERNIGHT!" Please tell me it's true! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

csquared Posted January 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 The rumours are true. A bumper crop of the white stuff last night. It made for a difficult day out today but it will be great by the end of the week if the weather holds. The new stuff was damp and heavy so it isn't going anywhere once they get it groomed in tonight and the base under it is hard but moist so it should bond well. Weather for the coming week looks reasonable with flurries most days but some mild temperatures. I have been a bit silent because I was concerned about whether there was going to be anything left to ride on. However, based on the snowfall today, I think Friday should be okay. So, back to Plan A. We ride Friday Will post more details this week on meeting places, times, hills we will be riding, radio frequency etc.. Have to send the contract and the list of names Monday morning.

pm_wizard Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 Everyone: Osler is in great shape from Friday night's dump. They groomed it up beautifully Saturday night, and it was cold enough to harden nicely. The weather forecast for the week has the brief reference to snowsqualls, which usually give snow to Osler when they happen. A really nice sunny day today at Osler, just to add to expectation. BTW on Saturday it looked like alot more than 22 cm! Just really heavy! John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
