haha not 1.6 about, maybe youre thinking 1.06.  if you google cad to usd you get:

1 Canadian dollar = 1.071123 U.S. dollars
So you should just do the same price or just use google to calculate the right price

Theres a little when you get to expensive stuff like skis.  When I posted it was 7 cents more.  When you get to stuff like $400, its a $28 difference

sort of, but weird wording. Its WORTH more than the american dollar, stronger seems like a weird choice of words.

the canadian dollar will continue to rise for the forseable future. So if you want to go and spend your money in the states do it, it will be worth it on large ticket commodities.

The canadian dollar is not in a word as strong as the american dollar... that may sound wierd, but its pretty accurate. Canada makes up about 3or 4% of the world economy, we just dont have the buying power. Plus for every single dollar spent in the world right now, 50 cents of that dollar is american.

Did I just blow your mind?

why is this in ski equipment?
