Uh, how about, oh, I don't know, the fac that THE ENTIRE PROVINCE OF BC, YOU KNOW, THE ONE THAT'S BETWEEN ALBERTA AND THE PACIFIC OCEAN exists, thereby land-locking Alberta? Ya, that might qualify you guys as "Not west coast", don't you think?
If that doesn't do it for you, the amount of rednecks in your backwards province should.
As for the ARGs, they look cool, probably ski well in what they're intended to ski (pow pow and more pow of all types), and have seemingly been in development for while, considering the numerous photos of uber-fat Armadas we've all seen over the past 2 years, which, coincidentally, seems to be about the amount of time Armada takes to get a ski from the "idea" stage to market.
Anyone bitching about the cap construction needs to find something else to do with their time. Trying skiing, I hear it's fun.
