Caribou,
Those are some fantastic suggestions. Thank you very much! I’ll always pine for the west regardless, but as you said that doesn’t mean i cannot have fun here. I actually went out yesterday in the Don Valley and had some fun with a rock board (left my split at home due to the limited coverage). The trees are very tight, the runs are very…[Read more]

MagnusIceland, Thank you for the post. Iceland is on my bucket list for touring. I was there last summer and fell in love with everything Icelandic!!

moridinbg,
I’m not Icelandic and have only been there once, but I can answer your questions with a fair bit of certainty..

There is very little in the way of public transport between the towns…[Read more]

Leland, for mountain people the move out east isn’t an easy one for sure. I’m itching to get in some touring, even if it’s so benign that one could just walk up.

I’m not sure if I will have enough vacation time this year to make my annual voyage out west to shred so I’ll be exploring my way up and across any area that…[Read more]

In like flint.. or is flint tardy?

^ I am glad that more and more people are buying the proper gear, but It’s crazy how many people don’t know how to properly use it.. which probably means they don’t know search and rescue protocols either (such as everyone turning their beacon off or to search after a slide). I always get a little choked up about this article (and the others…[Read more]

Bever Valley.. where is that?

It’s tough not having access to steep enough terrain to ride pow in. Been thinking of buying a split but it would get little use here. Perhaps a trip to VT and a trip to the coastal or rockie mtns once a year is all it will see.

I am finding the other downside to being a backcountry rider living in the middle canada…[Read more]

I should be all set. Thanks Shredgnar! See you in March :bananas:
