    What happens when a mask policy is violated?

    I’ve only managed to get up skiing to Big White twice so far. Opening afternoon and yesterday (blue sky pic attached). I saw a few people (usually young guys) pushing it on opening day and I think I actually only saw 1 person (an entitled looking man with an embarassed looking wife) getting on...

    Hi @Cygnet did you end up booking anything at Big White

    The top 9 ski resorts to visit on a budget

    Big white is definitely cheaper than Silver Star, which was listed. I have a kitchen unit booked for $150 (Cdn) this weekend

    We didn't get a chance to go to the aquatic centre but thanks for that feedback, I'll try to go next time I'm there. We managed to get a beautiful blue sky day but no new snow and it was pretty chilly. Snow conditions were nasty to pretty good- depending on where we were. I ended up using my...

    Revelstoke Jan 21-28, 2018

    Yeah, hope so. Like you, when I was there last year I pretty much skied the South Bowl and Ripper as well and the traversing drove me nuts. Great Mtn, incredibly bad lift plan, especialy if you're doing only the upper. I was by myself so was limited on doing the trees/North Bowl but I'm going...

    @just jane - I Hope you're doing better. Revy got a ton of new snow this last storm. Unfortunately the Highway did too. You can't even get in from the East right now. If road conditions improve I'm heading there Sunday for a couple of days.

    How women choose skis?

    I wanna "cut through the Chatter Monkeys" (or something like that) with that crazy Gal. She sounds fun! Of course, I'd take my Old Roxy Joyriders though because they're really pretty

    Popliteal Artery Entrapment Syndrome?

    Sorry to hear this. I think that PAES can be pretty darn serious so I'd make sure you have good advice for your particular situation from a/an appropriate specialist(s) so as to know what your risks are. If not severe then I wonder if bracing or footbeds might help. If severe then only you (and...

    How women choose skis?

    We had to evacuate our house this summer due to a forest fire coming at us (wind turned at the last minute- neighbours lost their homes though). Even though my old sports gear is insured, and I could get better brand new stuff, I still took my old skis with me. I love those things. In fact, I...

    Backpacking to lake o'hara!

    Hey @Albertan ski girl I got in two trips to Lake O'Hara this summer. One full on summer blue sky (little smoke haze here and there) and one with fresh snow. I stayed at the Parker Hut both times. The Alpine Circuit, as promised, is a definite world class day hike. So glad you got me thinking of...

    Question: Backpack choice

    I am (generally) an over-planner / over preparer and hate the should have syndrome (which always happens anyway with most incidents) so I carry weight in my pack whenever I go on a hike. The day hike weight just helps keep me ready for backpacking anyway. Carrying weight without any practice...

    BackpackGearTest

    Thanks, yeah I should have put the ULA Circuit on the list too. I think it's the best price as well. ~41 ounces +5-10L to my 45+10 that is 52 oz . It's a bummer that there just aren't any of these packs to try in my area but I'm guessing I'll be able to re-sell if something doesn't work.

    BackpackGearTest

    Hey @Ringrat . I'd be interested in testing. I'm in Canada, if that's good. I didn't do any thru hikes this year due to snow/high water/fires but did do several weekend trips- Lake O'Hara, Robson, Cathedral. I always carry my full pack, even on dayhikes (with stuff thrown in) so that I'm ready...

    Tennis Elbow?

    Yeah, I work in an Athletics Department and the Sports Physio there says thats what they do- get in and rub at the insertion point. Hurts. The Theraband is to release the tension and build strength.

    Tennis Elbow?

    Theraband Flexbar (or the Big Twizzler- as my hubby calls it)

    Question: Do new skis need to be tuned?

    She just needed to relax, head 'em downhill and stop thinking about it so much and then styled! You go girl- skies the limit!

    The Rockies are so stunning, I do miss the views. I hope you had a great holiday!

    Blizzard Black Pearl skis good for moguls?

    I'm definitely not a "boot fitter expert" butI am a big believer in the ski boot fit being as, or more important, than what ski you use- especially for bumps and trees because you have to be able to turn/respond quickly. I have narrow heels as well. I also ended up in a Junior Racing boot and...
