Let me talk to Steve Taylor and get his contact info... I needed to pick his brain about shocks and putting on a snocross clinic, so he was on my 'to do' list anyhow. As for ages and classes, under 16 might be hard to insure, but I don't know that specifically. Tabor Mountain actually...
Tabor Mountain in PG did it last year. It was so much fun! I was the only girl who entered and didn't quit when they saw the course ;) It was terrifying and I couldn't feel my legs after the first jump, but I would do it again in a heartbeat. I highly recommend contacting Tabor Mountain and...
Soooo true... My husband is an avid ball player and plays on as many as 3 teams in two different leagues. People always ask why I don't play and try and rope me into it when they are short players. Im not terrible nor am I good at the sport; but, bottom line is that it is HIS passion and he...
One of the ladies I sled with carries and sells it. She braids 9 foot sections into fancy little 5-6 inch long peices while she watches tv. Takes up little to no room in her backpack and I have seen it used in a couple of situations on the mountain. Worked like a hot damn!!
Contrary to popular belief, fevers are not bad for you. They are natural, and an integral part of our defense system. A fever greater than 104'F for sustained periods of time is dangerous and entirely another story. Once again, I question where we got the mentality that getting sick and the...
I am a front line health care worker and deal directly with ICU and ER cases, with my specialty being respiratory. Our employer has made flu shots mandatory OR for those who fundamentally refuse, we have the option to wear a mask from December 2nd until March 30th in every area of the hospital...
I know that they have had a lot of trouble with sledders who just have to run up the side of the mountain just along the highway where some of the more advances skiers often ski out. It's a major safety concern. Also, ripping thru the public parking lot to get to the pipeline is an issue. Powder...
Well, I don't know about that! The access to the alpine is crap, but once you are at the top there is plenty of good snow after last weeks storm, especially if you know where you are going :) that said, the visibility hasn't been great so getting places is an issue...
After the single lane bridge, the road splits and you take the first right. It's about 1/2 km to the next turn: your first left. You will see the signs for the area and beacon checker. At this point, I believe the road is plowed to km 15 as they are logging up that way. People are staging there...
Aha! I see :) Renshaw can be intimidating... Did you guys try Belle at all? I have a **** tonne of patience for newbs because I remember how I felt and i also remember the people who had the patience when I was freaked out and letting my nerves kill me, or who cheered me on when I accomplished...
Chris Brown is talking about doing an all ladies clinic in McBride. Tentative plans are for March 2nd weekend with a special female guest teacher (that I am really excited about!) in the works. Not sure if he has put it on his website yet.
Also, most BETTIES events are "no cost" except your own...
Went up on Saturday... It rained/snowed and we got pretty wet until we made it to the alpine. The burn is an icy trenched up disaster, but once you make it to the top the snow is good! Still needed a good base on Saturday, and only 3-5 feet (more in the trees) so a lot of little track rippers...
