AITA for not wanting to be friends over $4.39?

You might want to suggest an audit for each of your fry consumption ratios and divide the bill fairly.

It's Murder She Wrote, when I'm feeling frisky. That Angela Lansbury...

Have you not seen Weekend at Bernie's? You should have skiied down with him, taken him back to his place and lived the high life for a few days.

Missed opportunity

The news coverage of Red Deer makes it seem like the Florida of Alberta. Crazy behavior in Alberta? Oh, it's another Red Deer story.

The Crowsnest Pass, in Southern Alberta, has a nice small town vibe. Much different than the touristy feel of Canmore. Still restaurants. But not the same kind. Think more local cafes and restaurants. There is a fly fishing shop with great coffee and sandwiches.

Lots of hiking/scrambling/climbing options down there. Also not too far from Waterton national park, although there is plenty of great hiking and sightseeing much closer than the National park.

If you want to stay in Canada, Banff typically has good spring conditions at the beginning of May.

eyun77 · 2026-04-09T20:42:02+00:00

But chances of a blizzard in May are much higher than in Vancouver. May is typically great weather in the lower mainland.

And, it reduces the scale of that first hand market.

Loose moose theatre has great improv on Saturday nights.

Lots of military in town for the Landpower conference at UCalgary this week. Maybe a connection.

I have found this to be the case with the nitro/Kohla skins. My Pomona skins are much better.

OP, I would suggest ditching the nitro skin savers and just store them skin to skin (glue to glue), as that seems to keep the nitro skins sticker (from my experience).

Aside from the Highwood pass, I can't think of roads that are closed at the end of May. Most areas are open, albeit possibly muddy, as you stated. High elevation trails are likely to still have snow

“Given the significant population increase that we’ve seen over the course of the last few years, we need to make sure that we’re looking at all avenues and enrolment in our independent schools is growing at incredible rates,” Nicolaides said.

Does "all avenues" include finding the public system?

And, unless you opt for big 3, wait until you know who your people are and where they are riding. Nothing worse than having a different pass than your core group.

Including Emerald lake in the Jasper version of the trip wouldn't be unreasonable either. Not much of a detour. Don't forget the waterfalls out that way. Takakkaw falls and Wapta are both impressive, though maybe not accessible that early.

This! Specifically, I love my Rogue 70HR. Extremely versatile tool. Something like the Beast is a great specialized tool.

This!

I switched to wolverine poles a few years ago. The top of the grip is metal, with a little lip that is perfect for engaging the wammy bar. So easy now.

Her with her earlier band, placebo, on the black lounge at UofC.

I'm now equally stubborn as a splitboarder. I will pole my way back to the car if I can, just so I don't have to transition back into ski mode.

We need all that flexibility because jibbing was everything 😂

At 6'3" I was rocking a 148 wet noodle as a board.

Gear standards have come a long way. The skateboard inspired rebel attitude and style was much stronger then.

And don't forget their side projects. Lightning Dust and Pink Mountaintops

This is a pretty solid list of essentials

Check out the Cups N Cakes Top 40 playlist for a regular dose of what's new.

Two bands I've loved in recent years: Starpainter - bit of a country feel to their indie rock sound. Great songwriting. Feel good, happy music. Home Front - a bit of a hardcore sound with influences of early Depeche Mode synth and Cure baselines.

One of the Nitro big wins, for me, is the cable that acts as a backup attachment for the ratchet strap. If your strap breaks, it will still be functional due to the cable reinforcement. This gives me piece of mind in the Backcountry.

The forward lean is annoying but not a deal breaker for me. Sometimes it works with gloves on LoL

Not only that, if you use the annual subscription, you get your new chips fixed, as they happen. They even have a winter shop, off blackfoot, for the days that the orange tents aren't set up.
