A good, bad day

Took the hour and a half drive Tuesday morning to my local(est) mountain just to be greeted by another hour wait for parking. After finally getting one of the furthest back spots I was excited for the first real bluebird day Cypress has had this year. First run was amazing, second run not so much...




New skis (to me) I bought 2 weeks before.

I immediately called the nearest shop (North Shore Ski and Board), seeing if they’d be able to get it remounted ASAP. They told me to bring it in and they’d see what they could do for me, so the long hike out began.


When I got to the shop it was packed, I didn’t think I’d be getting a remount any time soon. Luckily the shop guys were absolute g’s and for the price of 15 pbr I got a half price mount within the hour.

From tearing my binding out at 2 and getting to the shop at 4, I was back on the snow by 6.

Recently I’ve seen a lot of shitty comments about local shops, I just wanted to say thanks NS ski and board for turning around a real shit day.

I'll definitely hit them up if I need any shop work done this year.

Where were you when you ripped the heel out?

Happened about halfway down. I skied the rest then started the hike from the bottom of raven. About half way there a patrol guy gave me a ride on his snowmobile.

as a shop tech for almost a decade this is all it really takes for not only good work but quick work. Even if we dont know you personally if you come into a ski shop ask to talk to a tech and bargin with some beer odds are we will get you in and out faster than the average customer
