    Learning to Surf

    Looking for the Salomon Ghosts in Calgary/Canmore/Banff

    So I tried on a pair of Salomon Ghosts in Ontario and they were perfect; however I neglected to buy them at the time as I didn't have the money on hand. Now I do have the money and I am out in the Calgary/Canmore/Banff area for Christmas break. Do any of you locals know a place that stocks...

    What did I just do to my knee?

    Quantum of Solace

    Decent flick. Pretty intense as far as Bond movies go, but def not as good as Casino Royal. *spoilers* Anyone else kinda pissed that we still don't know anything about Quantum? They practically tease us the whole movie and then BAM it ends.

    Line Chronics: 2008 vs. 2009

    So I just trashed my 05 Chronics and need a new pair. The thing Is, I am an east-coaster for the rest of the season so I won't be able to get out much (Read: It's raining).

    Are my Chronics toast? Pics inside...

    Well, I was just gathering up my gear to head out, and lo and behold what do I see? Busted edges. Now I have never had this happen to me. My guess is that it happened on a sketchy rail, but I'm not sure. Is this kind of damage fixable? I really love these skis (05 Chronics), so I'd hate to have...

    Tips on Waxing/Sharpening?

    I've only just started to wax and sharpen my own skis. I've always gotten my buddies at the shops to do it or any friends I can coerce. Thus far my results have been mixed. I tried the simple rub on wax (No Iron) with little success. I've been trying out Iron-on for about a week or so but every...
