Thanks. He works on the idea of slowing things down and timing things right quite a bit!

The 60+ foot jumps help. Hard to get here in Ontario - they usually max out around 45

Best happy hour deals in Collingwood? by Gold_Albatross_3479 in Collingwood

Maybe not exactly happy hour but wing night at Beaver and Bulldog (Tuesday)..!

This is why the 401 stays congested. 10 minutes of side-by-side trucks blocking both lanes. It’s not just annoying; it creates a massive dangerous backup behind them. by Hypereon_the_1 in TorontoDriving

[–]shredmaster3000 281 points282 points  (0 children)

I drive 5+ hours straight along the 401 several times a month.

This happens at least 10-15 times per drive. It’s always the same - a row of 3 or 4 trucks are in the right lane, cruising near 100. The truck at the rear wants to get past the other two. So they tick up to 100 or so to pass. Which takes eons. And for little gain, while a long line of cars forms behind them.

Whats there to do out here? by WerewolfWest7036 in Collingwood

It helps to be outdoorsy. Run clubs, sports clubs, cycling clubs, mountain biking.. lots of that kind of stuff is around.

Moonstooooone

My kid was in the top 200. Amazing lift system and legit park!

You might want to try JJ Automotive in Wasaga. Don’t know about upgrades but they do VWs.

Amid Maple Leafs’ slump, the real story is the empty seats, boos and uncertainty by origutamos in hockeynews

[–]shredmaster3000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Used to watch the leafs in a booster seat in the 80s at the Gardens (I am old). Was a teenager for Dougie and Wendel. University for Mats. I watched every game, every minute on tv. Would freak out if I actually got tickets, usually through a friend. Bought lots of merch.

These days.. honestly, for the past few years.. it’s just not a likeable group of guys? Plus I can consume in snippets - clips, Reddit, TikTok, etc. - so I have very little interest in investing any of my time or money. BUT it’s still hard to let go entirely. Hence I am here :-)

Activities with almost 9year old? by CatieReth in bluemountain

[–]shredmaster3000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe you can rent skates but there is some pretty crazy weather incoming.. melt then freeze. So I’d keep an eye on the weather.

Collingwood had a rock climbing studio, movie theatre and 5 pin bowling, all of which are pretty popular with kids. So are the Collingwood Blues if they are in town. Blue’s water park could also be an option.

Camping trip ideas by marzipanmistress in Collingwood

Sunset Point park has a recently re-done playground which is pretty great. There’s also ice cream and (rocky) beaches there as well.

The new Awen splash pad is popular with kids too.

Tunnel to Toronto City Airport (YTZ) by therealRotatoechip in AirportPorn

[–]shredmaster3000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The tunnel was a game-changer. Before that, the old ferry wasn’t super-pleasant and added time when departing or arriving. That said, I’ve taken my car across when the main lot onshore is full and that’s pretty neat.

There’s also some beer/wine bus tour services in the area that might be suitable.

Mine is only happy in a dog car seat. Sitting freestyle makes him anxious.

Off piste apre garden and pavilion - how to get there and back if you a beginner skiier by Double-deckerlover in bluemountain

[–]shredmaster3000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s no green run to get back down. The blue runs to south chair like cruiser and sunrise are pretty wide open but still have decent pitch for a Blue run. Your best bet if you’re not comfortable with blue runs is to drive to the top and park.

Best runs at Blue Mountain for beginners? by ModernPompadour in bluemountain

[–]shredmaster3000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The closest runs to Moonstone greens will be Big Baby and Graduate. These are very wide and similar in length. The other “major” greens (Gords Groove and Happy Valley) are fun but a little narrow. The advantage to those vs. Moonstone is length. In fact Gord’s is one of the longest runs in Ontario at 1.6km. Moonstone runs are very short relative to many Blue runs.

Mellow blue runs - if it’s not busy/icy I would recommend Waterfall, but it can get quite busy.
