Pipe Dragons are so 90’s. You need a Super Pipe Dragon for the huge trannies or a Super Pipe Grinder which the FIS uses.

But to be honest I never knew the resort even had 1 pipe dragon because I have never seen it used and the pipe looked like crap the few times I ventured into it.

So you think our passes went up because they paid someone to back hoe the half pipe or the 3 million invested this summer?

It will be missed. I don’t understand even with the new school twin tip skiing in the pipe they decided to tear it down.

On the other hand it was a piece and equipment to make a good pipe would never be affordable by the resort.

Make another park in place of the pipe something lower on the mountain, saves you from the long slow traverse from Falling Star. With a huge quarter pipe 30 feet tall!

The last news story I saw was that the Canadian health care public amounts are for high risk only. However Calgary has a private company that sells the flu shot to non-risk public. I don’t now the name of it.

Bottom line Sparkes keep up the reports.

[griz-boy]

Sparkes don’t let the negative critisim get you down. Some people have nothing better to do then type in stupid negative comments with there keyboard and click the mouse button, its so easy yet so useless.

Your posts are useful for people wanting a locals perspective.

Not sure if Fernie sells Salomon boots. Burton, DC, Vans, Flow, Ride, Forum are the few I know of. So to save disappointment you might want to purchase your boots in the UK.

If you fly into Calgary you will probably find them there and to answer your question, friends of mine purchase there stuff here because it is cheaper than prices in Glasgow.

I haven’t heard of any yet. I would love to get a couple lifts updated if not three or four. I say leave the Haul Back its a classic.

Season pass rates went up is that considered an enhancement?

[griz-boy]

Yeah. 7% does help a little, but only if you go to Calgary. You waste that on gas. Really you might save 2-3%

Just because it is Fernie doesn’t mean the shop manager ups the MSRP 10% just to screw the tourist market. A Burton board is basically the same price everywhere unless its on sale.

Unless you want to shop at big box stores like Sport Chek or Sport Swap, but then you get what you pay for. Crap!

Buy last years stuff and save a bundle!

[griz-boy]

The prices here are about the same as Van. You can get a new last years board right now up to 40% off.

The good thing about buying in Fernie is that they will set you up for the best board for Fernie terrian and if you have any problem with the board they will at least know that you bought the board from them. And I always like buying from a small board shop. They have the time to spend with you to make a good purchase.

Last reason. The plane will either lose you board or give it some good scratches. Unless you have a padded board bag.

[b:3a8ts8ky][color=darkred:3a8ts8ky]Buy before October. After October the price sky rockets to $1035.[/color:3a8ts8ky][/b:3a8ts8ky]

I just thought of this. If you by you pass in Alberta you can save by not paying BC PST.

This is how it works:

Fernie Season Pass $779

Purchase in BC 14.5% tax: $891.95

Purchase in Alberta 7% tax: $833.53 you save $58.42

No such thing as a local’s rate. Local’s pay the same price everybody else in the country would pay. I am sure most other resort’s have a local pricing plan, but local’s in Fernie get no love from the resort.

If you buy early there is a discounted price, but I think that is over.

I you work with the resort full time you get a pass for the time you work there. Not in the top ten places to work, but it gets you a free pass.

What exactly do you want? I have some Thule fork mount bike racks for sale.

The Fernie Alpine Resort is so close to Fernie so access is 2-4 minutes. Big alpine mountain to play in!

Nelson is a drive but if you have a vehicle it’s not a problem 20-30 minutes.

If you are the outabounds type maybe Revelstoke is a better choice. Cat and Heli skiing if your budget can afford.

Really its like comparing apples and oranges.

[griz-boy]

I think there already is one. If not it closed down recently. It was in the Mug Shots Cafe building I think. The guy had a cool antique dentist chair. You can probably check with the Fernie Chamber of Commerce.

Now to answer your question, personally I would never get a tattoo, but I like tattoo’s.

Open up a Music/Tattoo store. Our music store closed!
