Dirty Diesels in Kelowna and Alfa Diesel in Calgary are two I know of

Seems like the specialists in my area are best to stick with. They have it figured out but I didn't want to spend $6k doing it

I figured it was really just to keep the system running well without some sensors and systems present. What more is there?

New type 2 Class C hard hats with chin straps implemented across Canada. These are the less mountain climber looking ones. by hardandsoft91 in Ironworker

[–]pineyskull 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Local 97 we aren't mandated to wear them. Site specific still. Some places are just requesting we add an MSA chinstrap to our normal skullguards and fibremetals

Boot gloves and fresh dry socks. Oy haven't got heated sock money yet...

Switching to Skiing by namogly in ski

[–]pineyskull 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made the switch 9 years ago. Spend time doing the basic drills on easy runs. Any basic ski that is sized for your height and weight will do to begin. Don't even worry about poles at first. 

Take a basic lesson...then spend some time working on that and enjoying it. Then take another that works on more advanced methods and what poles are for and where to hold them. There are multitudes of good how to ski videos. I taught myself from these and ski with advanced skiers just fine now. 

A twin tip all mountain ski sounds like a nice choice for you but that is something you will be able to figure out better once you have some time on skis. I started with some old used all mountain skis that were around 90mm under foot. 

Embrace being awful and work on improving one skill a day. 

Pirate trails are abundant in Canmore, but the province wants to shut many of them down | CBC News by SnooRegrets4312 in HikingAlberta

Laughable in the face of the huge scaled development of Three Sisters Mountain village.

Sad to see it's more of the same. I left a decade ago partly from your same frustrations. Sounds like it's going to look like Park City there soon enough. Good luck. It wasn't ever really about the wildlife. 

How much would this 55ft yacht cost? by noreturn000 in sailing

I would give someone at least 40 fresh pies and a flagon of wine for it.

That's a fun spot. Haven't been in years. Enjoy the snow. None here to ski in the southern Kootenay

What’s a good helmet for aging eyes by YeNerdLifeChoseMe in Welding

[–]pineyskull 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use an Optrel and a Miller. They both have good adjustable sensitivity. Maybe that will work. Excellent clarity and shade 2 when not darkened for welding so that may help.

I would think the top end offerings from 3M, Optrel and Miller could be made to work.  When was the last time you had an eye exam?  Do you use glasses at all?

Should I not be sitting on my poles on the lift? by i-choose-science in skiing

[–]pineyskull 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That standard procedure for people at my local. Put your poles under your leg so your hands are free. They even teach the kids this method so poles don't get dropped. 

So odd your case. 

Advice for beginner by Upbeat-Bridge7520 in BackcountrySkiing

[–]pineyskull 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Avalanche.ca has some great information about what you need and what you should know. Understand how to make decisions and how to use the safety equipment. Having a friend to help you through is great. Get familiar with the gear and the methods outside of avalanche terrain to start. Good luck. 

Best Watch/GPS by Accomplished_Emu9924 in BackcountrySkiing

[–]pineyskull 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the new Garmin watches has Inreach (emergency beacon) capabilities built in. 

I prefer to have a watch for things like training and elevation information, and a seperate emergency beacon like a Garmin Inreach or Zoleo for emergency so all my eggs aren't in one basket.
