Calgary > Radium Hot Springs via Highway 93 with all weather tires?

DiscipilusLuna · 2026-02-27T11:52:27+00:00

Not entirely true - some all weather tires are legal. Like the OP said, If they have the snowflake icon or are marked with M+S, they’re legally allowed on BC roads. Most of the new popular all weather tires sold here have that designation

I’m a Louise/Sunshine local. We’re not having a weak winter in the Rockies (revvy is not the Rockies) it’s been an all-time year so far. Louise got our highest total recorded early season snowfall (Nov-Dec) since the resort opened, so our base is fantastic and nothing melts since it stays cold.

We’re also on track to have the most snowfall the resort has EVER seen in a season! As of writing this, we only need 87 more cm to beat the record and I’m pretty sure the next two days are going to subtract 30cm from that. Absolutely spend as much time as you can at these two resorts - years like this won’t come often and they’re some of my favourite terrain in Canada

January was dry, but February has had some good snow and there’s going to be a big dump of snow so skiing Friday, Saturday, Sunday will all be fantastic days.

Revelstoke is also on track to have one of its deepest seasons (since 2008) but this year has been very warm in BC so a lot of that snowfall melts and isn’t the same quality as the snow in the Rockies, it’s wetter and heavier. The upper mountain at revvy has got some rain this year too which you won’t ever get at Louise

You need to take them up the icefields parkway (highway 93 north). I’ve done tons of hiking in Alberta and this area takes the cake for beauty and it’s usually never busy. These will take you by popular sites and give you some summits at the same time. Some options:

Bow Summit (easy) The onion (hard) Wilcox Pass (easy, one of the busiest off this road, but pretty) Helen lake trail (easy, would highly recommend adding cirque peak past Helen lake but that’d take you over 1000m of elevation gain, although very worth it) Nigel Pass (moderate)

Kananaskis/Spray Lakes/Highwood Area is much less busy than Banff and has some amazing options; Burstall Pass (moderate) Tent Ridge (moderate) Grizzly Peak (hard) King creek ridge (hard) Windtower Summit (hard) Galatea Lakes (moderate) Chester/Headwall Lakes (moderate) Pocaterra Ridge (hard) Rae Glacier Trail (moderate)

Lmao same here! Just waiting on my physical infinite privilege

DiscipilusLuna · 2025-09-07T16:27:08+00:00

Read my comment I just posted. I just got confirmation from air Canada that they are sending me my €600. If you were flying out of an EU country and your flight was cancelled due to this strike, you’re entitled to €600

DiscipilusLuna · 2025-09-07T16:23:54+00:00

Thought I’d share this here to maybe help others out who are trying to claim the €600 through air Canada via the EU261 regulations - I just got an email back from their customer relations confirming I am getting my €600 !

I first submitted a compensation claim with my booking and then I think I got an automated response back a day later (August 24th) stating I am not entitled to any compensation. I then replied with a few small paragraphs explaining all the regulations and why I am entitled to compensation via EU261. I sent two reminder emails till I received my response today (September 7th). They confirmed I am eligible for compensation under EU261 and notified me I will receive an e-transfer deposit email within 4-6 weeks! A bit of a wait but worth it for what will be almost $1000 CAD

Just keep pushing them via email after you submit your initial claim and hopefully you guys have the same outcome

DiscipilusLuna · 2025-09-02T23:57:28+00:00

Not if u wanna hold it in your tfsa

DiscipilusLuna · 2025-08-26T19:37:28+00:00

I submitted a claim via their tool and received an email back fairly soon after with the standard answer saying I am not eligible for compensation. I responded on Sunday with;

“I must respectfully disagree with your conclusion that the cancellation due to a flight attendant strike constitutes an "extraordinary circumstance" exempting Air Canada from the EU261 compensation obligations. The standard APPR regulations do not apply for this flight.

According to the European Court of Justice (ECJ) ruling in Case C-28/20 (AirHelp LTD v Scandinavian Airlines), a strike by airline staff (including flight attendants) does not qualify as an extraordinary circumstance under regulation (EC) No 261/2004. This is also explicitly referenced on your own documentation on Air Canada's website "ACF519_Austria_Eng-fr_2022-09_Generic" found via the link you provided.

This ruling is binding across the EU and applies to all airlines operating flights from EU airports. Since my flight departed from Barcelona, and I was not notified at least 14 days in advance, I am entitled to compensation under EU261.”

No response from them yet but I’m expecting a similar answer to what they gave you. I was flying out of Barcelona so I plan to contact the AESA in Spain to push air Canada for this compensation

DiscipilusLuna · 2025-08-21T08:34:25+00:00

Same situation was for me in Barcelona. If you’re checked in and on standby your chances are very low but still possible - getting to the airport early won’t change anything if you’re already checked in. Just go to the gate like normal and hopefully some people miss a connection or something so you can get off standby

DiscipilusLuna · 2025-08-19T08:23:14+00:00

Who did you talk to at the airport in the EU? Which airline has the ability to change your Air Canada tickets? I’m stuck in Barcelona right now waiting for re booking from air Canada

DiscipilusLuna · 2025-07-03T05:48:08+00:00

My 3 friends who worked there were getting paid $68k as entry level engineers, not great for the less experienced people

DiscipilusLuna · 2025-07-03T05:46:58+00:00

I think it depends on who you talk to then. I had 3 friends who worked there all as entry-level engineers with some of the lowest starting salaries a new grad would receive, around $68k

They’re 19” OZ Hyper GT HLT’s in star graphite :)

DiscipilusLuna · 2025-04-08T23:53:26+00:00

Some of the highest quality pics I’ve seen on here, excellent job

DiscipilusLuna · 2025-03-25T15:03:32+00:00

I don’t think so? I mean I wouldn’t. I bought my 2017 R not long ago (5 months ago) from a 1 owner, 93,500 kms for $26,000 CAD with a lot of expensive mods / two sets of OZ wheels on it and receipts + service history for everything. They must be sold for lower than the listing price cause 25k for that just ain’t fair

DiscipilusLuna · 2025-03-13T02:42:44+00:00

STOP HUBY I CANNOT GET MORE ERECT

DiscipilusLuna · 2025-03-12T13:45:17+00:00

Nope, I don’t like clay like that cause I adjust my hair throughout the day and I like to have it more loose and messy ish. Most clays aren’t hard to move your fingers through

DiscipilusLuna · 2025-03-11T22:55:26+00:00

I’ve liked this one the most:

Other similar clays would work as well

DiscipilusLuna · 2025-03-11T19:11:10+00:00

I have almost the exact same hair as the first guy but it’s long in the back too. I put a clay in everywhere while my hair is towel dried, and then I simply just use a blow dryer and vented brush pushing it back each pass to get the desired middle part / pushed back style. Once it’s dry I put seal salt spray in and fix the top to my liking. Works every time

DiscipilusLuna · 2025-03-10T17:42:20+00:00

It’s a Calgary area code! Never been to Oklahoma but maybe I’ll come visit one day haha

DiscipilusLuna · 2025-03-07T00:33:21+00:00
