    Mayoral Election

    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...

    The Fate of Skiing Relics

    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...

    NEW CANADA!

    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...

    I'm pretty good at this. The official guide to posting a picture isnt really working for either!

    Has anyone been to Egypt?

    Actually yeah, I traveled with my "girlfriend" at the time. She basically dressed like she would normally and she was from Singapore, where they often dress pretty umm light I guess to begin with. But yeah, if she wants less hassling, just make sure she keeps it a bit conservative. I wouldnt...

    Has anyone been to Egypt?

    Egypt is a really amazing place. Cairo has got to be one of the most chaotic and busy places in the world, if not the most. That is part of why it is so interesting to visit. Luxor is cool too with all the temples and tombs. If you can, try go to Aswan or out into the Sahara, but I never...

    Study Abroad + Skiing

    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...

    What is youre favorite place in the world?

    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.

    Psycho Killer Likes To Ride Greyhound

    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...

    Turkish Delight

    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...

    Turkish Delight

    So that was a pretty interesting story. It so happens that I'm gonna spend about 5 months in central Turkey (Ankara) come September and I have been looking into skiing there. I'm finding enough information, but the one thing that I can't find much info on, and quite obviously so, is whether or...

    David Crichton in Forward

    Totally not skiing related. Instead it was about how milk with something (I can't recall at the moment) affects Chrons disease.

    Tar/Oil Sands! Sooo fucked!

    Sometime its just better to think logical: No, no it doesnt cost more to produce a barrel of oil from the oil sands than it is worth... How would that even make sense? Why would companies continue to invest and put massive resources and expansion into the projects involving oil sands? Its...
