Nice link CA. If anyone is going let me know I need some junior shin guards but I won't be down that way until next week.

There does seem to be some solid gear there (dukes etc.)

I might have something barely used.

**Caucasian Asian** · 10-05-2011, 02:01 PM

Not as much stuff as I was expecting. I plan on going back on Friday for some last-minute deals on stuff I really don't need.

Lots of ski tuning equipment.

Doug, if you have something I would be interested. I am down next week for Freshtival with Friday night late show tickets.

**DougW** · 10-05-2011, 03:59 PM

I have them plus a set or two of poles guards plus a set of GS poles. Were going to ski swap this year to clear things out but you can have first crack.

^ sure looks like it. That was my first thought aswell.

**Eldo** · 10-05-2011, 05:46 PM

Eldo's fearless weather forecast says up to 40 cm of snow high up in the front range by Thursday evening. Might be some turns somewhere in Kcountry the next few days.

(or not.)

Files and guides/other cool edge tuning doodads? Base plane tools? Tuning clamps? Several pounds of no name wax?

**mntlion** · 10-05-2011, 08:13 PM

mainly just Kuu sports wax, file guides, small rotor brushes.

smith goggles and glasses
lots of Auclair gloves
lange WC150 boots for $460
look pivots 14 for $450

50% off today (then 60 then 70%)

**That was Pontus** · 10-05-2011, 11:34 PM

Well then... if anyone heading there happens to pick up a few to many extra edge and base guides, I'd happily take them off their hands whenever I'm further north. Same goes for cheap whatever wax.

Edit: We're talking actual file guides, not them crappy pocket ones?

**Eldo** · 10-06-2011, 09:05 AM

Freezing level is going to be too high today. Carry on with summer.

**f2f** · 10-06-2011, 09:17 AM

ssv cams show some minor accumulation on standish, but it looks wet. maybe will turn tonight.

(will be removed at the end of the day):

**time2clmb** · 10-06-2011, 10:08 AM

but it looks wet

Good. Hopefully we get a few good dumps of moist stuff.

**weibo** · 10-06-2011, 12:30 PM

My wife drove the Parkway this morning, thick wet slush at Icefields and Bow as well as an enormous Grizzly just north of Bow.

Wow, they are actually showing a temperature above 0? How long before they take the picture down? Fall sucks. Hopefully the white stuff sticks up high, but we can still go biking down low

**f2f** · 10-06-2011, 09:27 PM

fun stuff for our friends at SSV:

I would think that a big business like SSV (or like most oil sites, construction sites, etc) would get stuff like this all the time? just SSV has someone like this looking over there shoulder and making stuff more public?

**mntlion** · 10-07-2011, 09:00 AM

hummm, +6'C and snow level falling to 2000m today. and Saturday I have to go to calgary that evening. Might do a detour and check out highwood pass...

**time2clmb** · 10-07-2011, 09:39 AM

(or like most oil sites, construction sites, etc) would get stuff like this all the time?

Most sites for oil and gas have a safety meeting at every crew change, and every time the job changes. Each time has to be documented. All the crew have to fill out hazard id's every shift. Alot of them also have to sign off on hazards that clearly state they have to use their PPE included fall arrest etc. Some sites if you are even caught without safety glasses you'll get in shit. Not all, but most. The ones that are more slack are typically the smaller companies.

**mntlion** · 10-07-2011, 09:46 AM

so what SSV got is not that uncommon? just this SSV watch is just advertising it?

**f2f** · 10-07-2011, 09:53 AM

found some stats in Ontario: http://www.labour.gov.on.ca/english/...s/enforcement/ (scroll to "Orders Issued". the numbers are in the tens of thousands, no idea if that's normal or they're cracking down)

something for BC: http://safetyauthority.ca/page/april...cement-actions (between April/June 2011 issued 44 compliance orders).

does not seem all that uncommon, although I have no idea whether the orders distinguish severity of the incident. walking on a roof in winter conditions without protection sounds relatively more severe than being in a construction site without a helmet.
