Heh, anyone know where I should go to find a replacement piece for my Dynafit Freeride Aero boots? Just noticed I'm missing one of the walk/ski locking bars (black metal strip). It broke just below the hinge down low on the heel and must have fallen off when the boot was in walk mode.
Generic photo of boot from the internet.

That must be why I was turning in a circle the end of last season.

@0:58 in this slide show.
It was pretty wind fucked and starting to wind slab but there was a few hidden gems in wind protected areas. Hit one rock on the ski out other then that its relatively safe for skis. The up track was still pretty bare however. kind of a long walk for a few OK turns but hey beats sitting on the couch.
Just throwing this in here as well. I have 3 tickets to the Chixdiggit show in Calgary next Thursday and the plan has come apart and they can't be used. $20 face value plus service charges but I just want to make some cash back and see the tickets used. Start at $15 each.
P18s. I know I CAN tell the techs, but i would rather they already be aware - just a comfort thing. I'm sure I'm just being paranoid regarding the new set-up, but you hear stories about fuck-ups and I can't afford that one these babies.Quote:

And while he was making turns, I was trying to find my way out of the human maze that is Ikea, so he definitely gets the last laugh. :smile:
Snowfall warning in effect for southern Alberta and Kananaskis. Unfortunately no snowfall warning for Banff/Lake Louise. Nakiska might be the place for fresh powder this weekend! Who would of thought? :fmicon:
Looks like I picked a good weekend to come back to AB for a visit.
Its actually getting a little white in the city today!
so.. anyone thinking of heading from the city to the mountains this weekend? this snow is getting me antsy for some turns
Sounds like 15 cm on the Parkway from Weeping Wall to the Crossing. Not much north and no report yet south (Bow).
I dont want to get bashed for opening a new thread so does any of you guys know any operation out of Calgary that is organizing a pow-roadtrip for 7-8 days? Im traveling alone so for safety reason I need something similar to the french UCPA or any other org/company that gathering good Skiers for a road trip.
There was an advisory for the Bow Valley. Banff had more than Canmore, only a light amount on the Spray around Commonwealth, and further along it looked like this:Quote:

Between the 5 of us we put tracks on 30 options :the_finge
Nice work, looks like you succeeded in thoroughly spreading the shralp around for the weekenders..
i just came.
ps: you didn't take lamothe with you? :nonono2:
^We generally try to keep our group at 4 as a max....well, unless we want to track up an area I guess lol.
i'm sorry, i missed a smiley face in my previous post. he's the keenest of them all, and to have missed this... i think he may give up on tgr :)
Nice turns. Looks like its pretty low density. Love when that stuff piles up for days. If you feel like marking of your calendar I'd bet on late next week again. The weather is often no kind to the weekend crowd lol...
In mcflatland its -10 and the grass is still green, frosty but green. :nonono2:
lol...nah, he'll be back.
Powdery goodness. Just enough crust to keep you off the ground, yet couldn't really feel the crust at all while skiing.Quote:

Very nice pics. I have a feeling those turns might be a touch sweeter than the ones i'm going to get at Norquay tomorrow.
looks rad! you guys sure aren't as friendly as the whistler folk for meeting up and getting some turns in, though. seems quite hush-hush
T2C,
nicely done. Was Aqua Toque part of your posse?
I'd meet up with you or anyone for some turns if I was back in calgary... I have to work until December probably, but I'll be in the area afterwards, and hoping it'll be an epic month. (The lack of sun/cold in december helps the snow retain its fluffiness longer... er thats what I'm going with for now.)Quote:
