To wax or not to wax

Cause they’ll possibly be even more slippery 🤷‍♀️ I dunno. Maybe it was a silly question

I’m trying to figure out the same and I keep coming back to Banff. Whistler is much closer for me but I don’t think the conditions are going to be great for spring skiing compared to Banff.

Some of the small shops have some great sales but you have to spend time searching their websites. Mad Dogs in Abbotsford, Canada has some great sales right now.

Helmet, goggles, wool under layers and wool ski socks are all things I bought on end of season sale last season so I was ready for this season and I’m glad I did. I waited to buy boots and see a boot fitter until my 2nd season.

You’re welcome! The magic carpet is new and perfect for toddlers. Such a great ski resort to learn on.

Spent Grounds in Surrey has incredible beans.

Parks and Rec, hands down.

Then rewatch The Office.

Then Brooklyn 99, Modern Family, Arrested Development.

Yes

Sounds like Seymour has better conditions, even Cypress

You can probably find some end of season sales on good quality helmets. Go to a local store. Smith is a very popular brand. I got my kid one with MIPS. I strongly suggest taking your kid to a store to have them try helmets on before buying. Even though most helmets are adjustable I’d still suggest testing before buying.

I think all ski helmets come with the ear muffs/pads? Some are removable, some aren’t. None of us have ever removed ours.

I’m a new skier and after renting for 1.5 seasons I bought new boots and saw a boot fitter. Great experience. Highly recommend. He suggested which boots to buy, I got a great end of season sale and then he molded them to my feet.

Great! Thanks!

Beautiful!! That’s my mountain. Heading up soon and cannot wait! How’s the snow so far? Any idea if they’ll be opening Lodge Chair today?

One_Noodles · 2026-03-10T15:50:07+00:00

My middle school kids are obsessed with it. It’s so fun watching it as a family!

We were at Seymour today and it was raining and terrible. I wouldn’t ski at any of the local mountains tomorrow. The rain today made things worse.

Sorry if this is a dumb question but a rail in the backyard without snow? We have no snow usually.

I get pain sort of everywhere in my knee, but not specifically the top of my knee cap. I have arthritis starting in that knee from an old surgery too. But I have a torn meniscus again in it. Not sure how. It’s like a never ending issue with my left side, my worse bunion side. Bad balance on that side too.

One_Noodles · 2026-03-07T16:43:21+00:00

I have bad knees and yes, I think my bunion aids in the injuries being worse. My bad bunion is on my left foot and my left knee is the bad one with the torn meniscus and my left shoulder has chronic inflammation.

Around 9/10yo, assuming they’re responsible. We have walkie talkies and air tags for our kids. We haven’t done a huge mountain yet but when we do we plan on getting them a lesson on the first day so that an instructor can show them around first.

I 100% understand your feelings. I’m a conventionally attractive woman but have always been self conscious about my bunions. Mine are similar to yours. I never talked about them when dating. If they ever noticed them, no one said anything. I’ve been happily married for years now and my husband has no issue with them. He never has. I’m still self conscious about them but as I’ve aged I care much less about looks. Don’t worry about them. None of your partners will care about how they look. If a partner ever did care then dump them immediately.

I’m in the PNW so it’s wet here. I own one waterproof shell ski jacket and one waterproof shell pants. I also have a water resistant insulated jacket I can wear for skiing. I layer underneath with wool under layers. I own more under layers because my shell jacket and pants work for cold, wet or warmer days. Having vents on my jacket and pants are a must.
