    Renshaw bridge repair

    I just saw the old Valemount aluminum bridge for the sled ski area for sale on Marketplace. Doubt it will fit the groomer though.

    A classic to Gen Z isn't a hemi challenger it's a skyline GTR.

    Jasper is on fire!

    I was chatting with an engineer who had done some foundation testing after the North Shuswap fire. He said he basically takes a ball peen hammer and works around the foundation hitting it. You can hear if it is still sound or spalded.

    Canada to Apply 100% Customs Duty on Chinese EVs

    These fawkin clowns want everyone in an EV and then double the cost of the cheapest one's available, typical dipshit gov't move. Personally DGAF as there will never be one in my driveway either way.

    Rail Shutdown

    I dunno about you guys but I'm not looking for my pilot at Dollarama. Pilots and train engineers both work long days, have a ton of responsibility on them, and work away from family. Oil & Gas guys doing the same thing for similar money never complain they are over paid?

    2021 twin rail Alpha / Mountain Max

    I just paid $700 for a decent used 165 track but I feel like that is a deal. Only other used 165 I've seen in W Canada is $1400.

    2021 twin rail Alpha / Mountain Max

    Seems like a PITA to window and clip an Alpha track but Turblue is the guy to give it a shot. Maybe motivate me to do the same. I just picked up a new one so have a spare 165 I could do it to.

    Rail Shutdown

    Engineers tend to be the whiners. The conductors are the ones actually doing work switching in the yards and driving the locomotives remotely while they do it.

    Rail Shutdown

    10,000 is just engineers and conductors none of the other workers such as mechanics, track repair workers, electricians, car repair workers etc. The railway has 3 or 4 different unions. Also they are not saying CN will lose $1B/day they are saying that it will stop $1B/day of goods from moving...

    Jasper is on fire!

    Exactly it's not just a big flame front moving through. It's large embers being blown ahead several km and starting spot fires.

    Rail Shutdown

    Grew up in a rail family and have had some good friends work in it too, all were very happy to leave. CN treats employees like ch!t and if you're a manager your neck is on the line 24/7. It's not a company I would ever work for.

    2016 m8000 best upgrades?

    cancel the GGB order and run the Jaws with an extra spring or something to hold it in position. Jaws quality far exceeds GGB.

    2016 m8000 best upgrades?

    Those sleds were pretty good out of the box. The 2.6 track is decent but the 3" is a big improvement. I would upgrade the track and skis first and dial in the clutching for the bigger track with a Y pipe for some extra pull and call it good. They're worth F All to sell so you can pull all that...

    Jasper is on fire!

    So much demand for them they are adding a factory east of Calgary and not a single order for western Canada.
