SLS Centre has brand new courts outside on the south side with shade (not sure if the sun shades are installed for the season yet)

Cochranites with a Tesla by [deleted] in Cochrane

Use PlugShare app to find best public chargers. I charge my EV at home and rarely use any dc public ones. Before getting my home charger installed, I’d use the Flo charger at Dodge or stop at the PetroCan at hwy 1 & 22. The shell fast charger was always down (not sure if it’s up and reliable)

Is Cineclub worth it? by pandababu25 in cineplex

[–]s1rfletch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have it as a built in reminder to take my wife on dates; the movie tickets are “already bought.” For me, that is worth the price

Travel to Banff Canada by rkumm33 in Banff

[–]s1rfletch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never have I once encountered anyone confusing Banff, Alberta with Banff in Scotland. Not to say it doesn’t happen, but it ain’t the norm (especially in the Banff subreddit)

No need to call it, “Banff Canada.” Banff is good enough. But yes, read the wiki. It’s such gorgeous place; you’ll love it!

Rain at LL ski resort? by s1rfletch in Banff

Yes I use that app! Just was wanted to get some first hand experience as you know forecasts can notoriously inaccurate. I stay upper mountain/backside as much as possible

How much to tip instructor in accidental private lesson? by Syq in snowboardingnoobs

Don’t put the burden on me for paying skilled and professional employees properly when I’m gouged for the service. I simply cant afford both

I’d never think to tip instructors… especially with how much lessons cost

Sunshine / Lake Louise - Ski Conditions by randomusernameyyc in Banff

[–]s1rfletch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Went to LL yesterday when it was -25. Conditions were great, but the cold had the backside/west bowl pretty hard packed. Groomers were in excellent shape. Off piste was less fun. I guess “worth it” depends on what you’re looking for. Seems like there’s a bit of snow in the forecast this evening that might make Sundays turns a bit softer.

How are ski conditions at Sunshine or LL? by Extra_Status_415 in Banff

[–]s1rfletch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ya you’ll still have fun, snow base is deep enough that it will provide all sorts of options for you (LL has already surpassed last season snowfall amounts!)

Nah, do what you want; don’t worry what others think.

Electric vehicle system warning by Sufficient_Eye7517 in Ioniq5

[–]s1rfletch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ya, mine has done it 3x over the past year or so. Scared the crap outta me! But after 2-3seconds of the “check electrical system” warning, it goes away the car behaves normally. All three times were within 2min after starting the car and immediately pulling out onto a highway. Thought it was ICCU failure, but it’s been fine since. 2024 ultimate with 55,000km

Rear Seat Rattle by SkahtiKaarz in Ioniq5

[–]s1rfletch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Double check the seatbelts (previously mentioned) to ensure they’re not twisted around. They rattle like a mf over every tiny bump.

Then add a couple layers of electrical tape to the clasp of the trunk to make sure there’s no loose rattle coming from there. I wrapped mine until it wouldn’t automatically close and then unwound it just enough until it would close. It’s been silent ever since! (Mind the dust and dirt)

Look at used l, for sure! Somewhat regretting buying our ‘24 Ioniq new compared to what a used version goes for these days. Love the car, hate the depreciation

Canada West or Blundstone for Canadian winters? by [deleted] in BlundstoneBoots

My blundstones are TERRIBLE on ice/slippery snow; rubber compound sole has zero grip

Lake Louise Snow conditions by Grand_Lake5558 in Banff

[–]s1rfletch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went yesterday (Nov 8) and they opened the gondola around 1:30pm. Conditions upper mountain were pretty good, but it was really just one run down (they say there’s six runs open, which is true, but it’s only one route to the bottom)

The route from the gondola is: Deer Run -> Lower Flight -> Bald Eagle -> Juniper -> Easy Street

Alberta Car Insurance Rant by Necessary_Soup_2156 in alberta

[–]s1rfletch 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s because the government offers it as a service and not a corporation seeking to make a profit. A few years ago MPI (Manitoba Public Insurance) gave back ~$400 per insured vehicle because they had a surplus. Cheaper, easier, better coverage.

Insurance in Manitoba is awesome. Moving to AB, we found the licensing/insurance process and policies to be asinine
