skierman_jackdude hv already firin quit geekin and get out there
r00kieI gain a week of vacation time next year and canceled my ski trip plans so I’m looking at other options. Thinking Alberta in mid February could be cool. Could catch a Wings game in Calgary, see Banff, and do some skiing. Anyone have insight on where to ski and get a decent deal on tickets and hotels?
partyandBSyooo i mounted some ON3Ps recently and idk why but they were ridiculously hard to ski. i felt like they just wanted to go straight. at one point i took them off and looked at the bases and to confirm they were mounted the right direction lol. i mean am i just that used to dull edges?? i was so sketch out there lmao
SlowbroIf you come through I can show you around Sunshine and COP. No advice other than get a super card for Sunshine it will make it slightly cheaper.
SlushSeasonWhat kind of on3ps? My jeffries have pretty bad edge hold on hardpack which can make them hard to turn. Or more accurately, the skis are super easy to turn but i just keep going straight
I don't think any ON3Ps are supposed to be very directional, except maybe for the Wrenegades
partyandBSyeah also the jeffery. and i was having the edge hold in the hardpack today. skied surprisingly different in the fresh snow. still excited about the ski but god damn i felt like i was gonna wreck myself today. scared the shit out of my

r00kieI was looking at Sunshine actually. Not sure if I’m think dirtbag trip where I sleep in my truck or just ball out and buy a ski and stay package. If I go ski and stay and just fork over the money, Sunshine’s Ski Weeks thing is pretty appealing. Stay on mountain and ski for five days, private instructor for two hours each day, apres package, and with the exchange rate, it’s what I would pay to go play in Tahoe or SLC for three to four days and going cheap on where I stay and what I eat.
edit: only hyped on the instructor thing so I can rip around with someone who knows the place and skip lines.

CeleryIf you do that be warned that staying on hill is a little isolating. You can't really get back into town most evenings. As for the instructors if you're able to request people I have a list of them that would bring you to some lovely places. I know that there are also several NS adjacent people that ski there. If you wanted to stay in town Banff for cheap Hostel International Banff is a great place and they do private rooms for something like 50 cad a night. Banff has a great bus system so you don't need to drive around town or even to the hill.
Also if you have any more questions just PM me, I lived in Banff for 4 months or so.

r00kieSome solid advice there. Part of me loves a little bit of an isolated trip but idk, the hostel is a ton cheaper and helps meet buddies for the skiing. In typical American fashion, I would have to get my passport sorted as I haven’t left the states in my adult life and figure out where to cut back in other places to make it happen but Banff has me curious right now as I have never been and the skiing looks awesome.
steezytangerinei am going to tremblant on the 21st but a opportunity to get some atrocious ontario slush laps in this saturday came up and im hyped

CoolChillGuy420i get free tix to almost everything in CO thats not a VR so hmu, also feel free to stop by Granby as well, ill hook you up
r00kieMan, I hope I can get a passport straightened out in time. Banff trip seems really possible to do reasonably cheap. Hostels are available and the Sunshine Super Card thing gets my per day skiing to like $85 CAD and day which is way cheaper than a destination trip in the states is.
partyandBSlol seems like you’re trying to sell come
ReturnToMonkeyYoo id be so down to buy a Loveland ticket
partyandBSlol seems like you’re trying to sell come
CoolChillGuy420Kind-of makes me salty that some patrollers really dont like to slide tubes from time to time. Sometimes its even worse, like dudes straight-up hate park laps

littleman34My goggle lenses are all scratched and hazy and I cant see shit. I've been skiing in sunglasses because I dont want to buy new lenses (which arn't even expensive but I'm just stubborn). Has anyone ever found a fix for this? I have headlight cleaner I was thinking of trying... toothpaste too maybe?
