Ontario BS Thread

I've been known to board some snow. Can't say I'm all that great but I need something to do in the winter

 

I am usually there in the evenings, for night rides.

 

Well maybe we should get out for some shredding on the hills this season?

 

Snowboarder ,spent a lot of time at Blue over the years ,

 

Going with wrangler duratrac

 

Got 6” accumulation today in Shelburne, usually pretty comparable to Blue Mountain.

I even saw some sled tracks around town tonight...some guys must hate their tracks and carbides

 

I often wonder where my old s10 ended up. If the sas was finished and wheeled or went to the parking lot in the sky

had some dude that bought it off the guy i sold it to call me and ask me to write up a bill of sale for it even though it was already in his name? I never called back

 

Used to go every Sunday for night skiing...however i haven't been out in in like 4-5 years now.

For the access can you have to drill and use rivnuts. Could always take that and shorten it up.

 

Lots of snow here, easy 6-8 inches and its still coming, but the wind has been taking it all away...

I wanted to go for a drive in ithe snow but I washed it sunday so id like to keep the salt off it.

p.s. ignore these absolute disgusting wheels

p.s.s. also down to snowboard

 

Yeah, I have been avoiding That style of wheels, with 5 bolts - from tundra - for the lx470.

 

I still have my board, but it's been a few years since i last went down a hill...

 

What side of Algonquin are those trails on? Do they go right through or just to a lake or something and you have to backtrack? Looks like a neat area!

 

I will add to the snow and snowboard topics with a single picture i just took

 

On this note I know where the next Taco & Snow Meet happening! Bring your Ski/Snowboard! #Blue

Best outfit wins!

 

You have a beautiful truck @Baktacoma..Love your Pro package and also the white colour. Welcome to this awesome thread.

Duratracs are great tires and I would buy them again for both applications below in a heartbeat!

I run them on my 2013 regular cab TUNDRA at work which is basically an off-road vehicle.I also have them on my 1st gen reg cab TACO that is my little do it all work truck and hunting rig.

They are just wonderful Offroad and also in snow.

The downside is they get very noisy as they wear, ride comfort and are also difficult to keep in balance........Something to keep in mind for a daily driver.

 

Nights at blue are wicked! Knee pain sucks but it’s only worse if neglected, I’ve learned from that on previous injuries. I need to get some physio done on my left knee again but am hoping to be ready to rock for opening day!

Hells yesss! I am down for this!

 

Blue has a bit of everything and is probably the best in Ontario for riding IMO, at least for anything that’s not private. It has some decent tree runs/glades, some good park and side of run features and some steep terrain, even though it’s only steep for a few seconds lol.

 

I prefer..... ok this sounds weird if you don't know of it, but Kissing Bridge in the US https://www.kbski.com/
lots of good hills out there.

Mount Saint Louis is one of my all time faves, but i tend to head to either Chicopee for a short day run or out to Horseshoe/snow valley for a full day run

been to blue once, wasn't a huge fan of it - but that was early in my snowboarding days.

Other than that - i'm game for a snow day at Chicopee or glen eden or something since that's pretty central (to Hammer, Cambridge, oakville, mississauga) and the hills are easy to re-learn to board.


(zoom in and someone had some fun with skis)

 

on one hand, glen eden is close but (from what i hear) not great/long. mslm and blue are good but over 2 hours away (from me, at least). one can be done in a matter of hours, the other is a full day commitment.
