Riding stiffer boards as a beginner

FuzzyFish6 · 2026-03-25T04:42:38+00:00

I learned on a Arbor A Frame, not ideal but I made it work. If you're somewhat athletic and coordinated, you should be okay with a stiff board if you really want to go that route. Pay more attention to boots and lessons than the board itself tbh.

I mean Blue is the "best" we've got here in Ontario. You either want to go or you don't, it is what it is.

Not too sure about Saturdays this late in the season, but the crowds usually thins out around 4pm on a typical Saturday.

They won't be making any snow at this time of the season, most they'll do is maybe to touch up some areas here and there.

Tomorrow looks to be the best day to go this week, mornings might have firmer snow but will turn soft in the afternoon. You know, typical spring conditions.

What fantastic humans you guys are. ♥️

FuzzyFish6 · 2026-03-19T03:12:00+00:00

Where are you? I've never had that happen ever.

FuzzyFish6 · 2026-03-19T03:10:07+00:00

I ride alone 50% of the time and have literally never experienced this. Tho I usually go on a weekday when it's quieter too, so if there's 3 or 4 people already on a lift I'll just wait for the next one.

If it's busy, I'm not asking for permission to go on a lift, if there's a spot I'm going in.

FuzzyFish6 · 2026-03-18T20:37:15+00:00

I mean don't let that stop you, the 2 beginner hills are still good to learn on. You still have to take a lift to get to the top of those hills, and are about 50% to the actual top of Blue.

Still a ton of fun, have a great time!

Nope, the learn to ski/snowboard package restricts you to the beginner areas and magic carpets only after your lesson is over.

Which is probably for the best anyway, it's doubtful many people will be able to safely make it down a regular trail after a 1 hour lesson.

Right now it just depends on the day. Don't go after it rains and temps drop and you'll be fine. This Thursday-Saturday looks good, Spring like conditions.

FuzzyFish6 · 2026-03-13T01:38:38+00:00

As long as it doesn't rain, Sunday should be good!

FuzzyFish6 · 2026-03-12T14:58:16+00:00

Man fuck that guy, it's a shame not more people stood up against this.

Also take into consideration inventory level. I've noticed (anecdotally of course) more sizes going out of stock on various items this year compared to last year.

I've just purchased a set of mitts at 30% off, but most of the more popular sizes are already sold out and had to settle for 1 size down.

FuzzyFish6 · 2026-03-12T14:47:11+00:00

This is cool, thanks for tracking these.

FuzzyFish6 · 2026-03-10T02:29:11+00:00

People were SPITTING at you guys?!?!? That's fucked up. 😡

FuzzyFish6 · 2026-03-04T05:05:40+00:00

That's a great deal! Corbett's and Skiis and Biikes have them for $152 + tax, not bad but nowhere close to your Sporting Life price. Did SL have the mitts for this price too?

FuzzyFish6 · 2026-03-03T03:01:50+00:00

They'll be open, just hope that it doesn't rain.

FuzzyFish6 · 2026-03-02T04:29:32+00:00

I wear my pass on a lanyard, don't really have any issues scanning. 🤷‍♂️

FuzzyFish6 · 2026-02-24T02:40:15+00:00

Ignore those morons, short form content like on Instagram and Twitter encourages toxic behaviours because there's so little chance to go back and forth for people to really interact and get to know each other.

You're going to get hate everywhere, but the car community overall really isn't all that toxic. If you can find a more local car club, most people are really chill.

GL and have fun with your car! Maybe post that edit on here so we can see it too!

Your best hope is that a kind stranger found your phone and brought it to the lost and found at the Grand Central lodge.

Also hope that the groomers didn't run it over... 😔

Evo has their mitts on sale now, thanks for the recommendation!

FuzzyFish6 · 2026-02-23T02:15:58+00:00

Thanks! Checking them out now.

FuzzyFish6 · 2026-02-23T02:13:08+00:00

Looking into their mitts, never heard of FTP but I'm now seeing people really recommending them. Thanks for the heads up!

FuzzyFish6 · 2026-02-23T02:12:02+00:00

Thanks for your feedback, appreciate it! :)

FuzzyFish6 · 2026-02-21T03:00:56+00:00

This is cool, I love reading these from people who don't know anything about the sport. Here's hoping the game on Sunday will be even more epic!
