I know this is a ski forum and all, and thus, I'm probably speaking to an audience that is possibly largely apathetic to this kind of thing but I encourage you Calgarians that are of voting age to take part in this year's mayoral election. Municipal politics affect you more directly than...

So I have this little dilemma. I have a shitload of old magazines sitting in a closet in the house on my parents' farm that is about to be sold. Hence, everything must be cleaned. I haven't technically lived here for years, and I am about to move to Germany for a couple of years for a...

To whatever douche was trying to be smart: Toronto is considered by the U.N to be the most ethnically diverse city in the world. Last I saw, which for whatever reason was a couple days ago, Vancouver was about 1 percentage point behind in ethnic population. Thus, a fairly reasonable...

Not to nitpick, but it is in Alberta, not B.C.

I`m trying again.

Like someone above said, you shouldnt be going on exchange just to ski. An exchange is about doing things and living in a way that you havent before. That being said, you've probably never skied Zermatt or Le Grave, so maybe check it out, but don't focus on skiing and use it as the criteria...

Gunung Bromo, Indonesia Budva, Montenegro Sei Phan Don, Laos Egypt This question is definitely open to interpretation though. Wouldn't necessarily want to live permanently in any of those, but to visit, they are amazing.

No, you just have dudes sniping people from the trunk of a car while they are filling up their gas, or parking their truck with a load of fertilizer and diesel beside a daycare... Pointing out stupidity in threads on NS has become too much of a mainstay to generally even be bothered with, but...

Yeah, I kinda figured that it would be hard to find freestyle skis to rent there. I don't want to bring mine, because its a hassle and I am traveling both before and after my actual five months there. I'll probably just rent whatever there is and use non twins for the first time in like 10...
