    Abbotsford Ski Swap

    I have some stuff I'm interested in selling. Do you guys think it will be worth the drive to Abbotsford (twice - once to drop off once to pick up) to try the ski swap? Anyone have previous good buying or selling experiences with that ski swap? Thanks. -m

    2 pairs of skis, 2 pairs of bindings:

    I'm selling my stuff off, want to get alpine touring gear when I return to skiing in the 06/07 season. Everything is in great shape. Locals preferred but will ship for little extra cost. No pics right now. Hence the locals preferred thing... I'm in the SFU area in Burnaby. Can travel to...

    Phat Luvs for wife.

    I will be getting my wife Phat Luvs for Christmas this year. Trying to decide between the 153s and the 160s. My wife is 5'4, 125, very strong skier, but not too agressive. She does prefer the short-radius to big carve turns on the off-piste. She skis everything except the most hardcore park...

    Broken clavicle - how long until you were back on the slopes?

    I broke my clavicle 3 weeks ago. It was a 'good' break - I was armoured up and didn't damage anything except the bone itself. Muscles around are all good. Now that Whistler is set to open I'm feeling the urge to go skiing bigtime. What I want to know is when you broke your clavicle, how long...

    How was Blackcomb today?

    I am so jealous of you people who got to go. I was basically forbidden to go skiing today (broke clavicle last Friday) so here I am sitting on an f-ing computer instead of skiing. Well, at least I can live vicariously through your experiences. How was it? -m

    Rail tip

    I guess it's not much good now, but I'm just kind of curious for next season: is it easier to lock on to a rail at a high speed or at a slower speed? -m
