Ohhh Spring....


It's nearing that sad sad time again. For some, the end of ski season will be in a couple of weeks, for others a couple of months. Keeping your gear well stored over the off season helps it last for much longer. With our summer storage package you can protect your skis/boards from base damage, dry bases and rust. We will also give them an end of season tune and set them up for next season. Also included in this package is your first hot wax of next season!! All in all, it's a great deal and most of all, it's good for your gear.

Summer Storage
This includes a full clean, top, bottom, bindings and edges(rust).  Filling the nicks and scratches, stone grinding and texturing of the base, sharpening, bevelling, de-tuning and de-burring of the edges. We then apply a thin coat of hot wax to the base and immediately scrape off to pull any dirt from the pores and do one more base clean. A soft universal wax is then applied to protect the base from drying
out over the summer, wax is also coated on the edges to prevent rusting. After summer is over and the snow line drops further down the mountains, bring in your skis/board and we will scrape off the summer storage wax and apply a new coat of wax that will be scraped, brushed and ready to go for season opening.
$50 - with minor P-Tex                
$40 -without

Avalanches, Moving, Mt Baker Banked Slalom

With news of another avalanche death and dangerous S.A.R rescue at Cypress, it's time we all thought a little more about safety. I urge everyone to check with www.avalanche.ca every time you think of venturing out of bounds. Take a course even, participate on discussions online or even help out by donation to a great service. The danger rating is extreme, top to bottom this weekend. Please be careful and don't put S.A.R in danger because you didn't pause to think before stemping under that line.

Check out this video compilation from the 2013 Mt. Baker Banked Slalom. I didn't make it out this year, but it looked like a good one, with B.C's Maelle Ricker claiming it for the ladies snowboarders yet again. For more info http://lbs.mtbaker.us



This is our last weekend in our temporary location. next weekend we will be open in our new large shop on the corner of Lickman Rd and Keith Wilson. Thank you all for your ongoing support and I hope to see you at the new location soon.

No Excuses


Find a reason to go here this winter. You won't regret it.

After spending 6 years in Powder Paradise, this has so far been my first winter without Fernie since 2004. I still have time, and so do you! Fernie is an amazing all seasons destination, but it's probably best known for winter. Although the town has changed a lot in the last 10 years, much still remains the same. The skiing of course is incredible, the town has a very relaxed vibe and you really notice that no matter what your age or background, you all have at least something in common with one another. There's still time to take a ski vacation in the Kootenays this year, and who knows....you might be like many of the people who currently live there and not come back.
