Looks like Destination it is. Thanks guys!

Looking to get my wife some ski boots, the two obvious places on the NS are the new Comor or NS Ski and Board. I've had good experiences at both for small stuff. How are they for boot fitting?

Had a pretty big bail that impacted the front end and taco-ed the wheel. Now that I have another wheel in place the bike pulls to the left when I let go of the handle bars. I pulled the fork (Rockshox revelation - 2008) out and the steer tube appears to be straight (put a straight edge on it). Visually the frame (2006 Norco Fluid) looks fine, but I have nothing else to verify. Any other ideas other than taking it to a shop?

It's hit and miss, but have gotten killer deals at the re-use-it centre at Funtion Junction. Also try North Shore sports swap (assuming you;re looking used)

the Hip…nuff said

I'm pretty sure you have to buy a bunch of inflatable Explorer's and then leave all the garbage in a park. And be completely wasted.

So no issues with cops if I tuck a few brews inside the kayak? I heard something about people getting busted last year.

yeah should be fine. Often at that time of the year the water level is low, but this year has been cooler so more gradual snow melt i assume.
I would recommend going early to avoid the crowds of party people, but it all comes down to luck.

One of the advantages of having kids (I guess) that we'll be on the water well before the yahoos. Thanks!

The family will be up there for August long weekend. Thinking of trying to run the river with the family. Me and the 4 year old in a 10' kayak, wife in an 8' kayak, and the 9 and 6 year olds in their little sit-on kayaks. Does this sounds like a stupid idea!? Scoped it out last year and looked like fun. Put in at Rainbow and take out at Meadow Park. Thanks!

Went to a presentation a couple of years ago by Delta Police, he recommended keeping a kit in the trunk of your car. Most of the time you are within walking distance of it, and if your house collapses you can still access it.

Great idea except with a family of 5 our kit has filled an 80L rubbermaid tote!

I built one up myself, fortunately having older backpacking gear is helpful. Once you have a stove and some fuel it opens up having canned food which is way cheaper and palattable than those sugar bars. Plus cans basically last forever.

If you are anywhere near a water source, a lifestraw or something similar solves the water problem.

My biggest issue is where to keep it. If the house is standing, then I have access to all our food in the pantry etc…if the house falls down (and we survive) then the kit will be in the rubble. I am kind of thinking outside in a shed.
