Thanks for the information. From what I've seen online and your comments, I'm sure I would like Owl's Head.

My buddy and I were just at Bromont and Sutton last week. We had the L'est Go card and I wanted to try Owls Head after we skied Bromont. He talked me into Sutton, which was okay but far too many expert runs for my liking. We skied Orford last year, so next year I will push to go to Owls Head on...

Had a similar thing happen in our back yard a few years ago. Sitting on the back deck enjoying a brew and suddenly there was an explosion of feathers in the centre of the yard. We never saw what kind of bird of prey it was and we think the prey might have been a sparrow from what was left...

Fortunately both my bike and car don't require premium fuel. Just plain regular unleaded for both.

Less than 24 hours later we had more than 15cm of snow fall during the day and that same road was covered in snow. You take your opportunities when they happen.

First bike of the season on Hockley Valley Road yesterday afternoon. Way too wet with salty runoff, but hey it was really warm out there.

So what did you get? Brand/length/etc... I'm curious to hear what you consider to be a ridiculously short radius for a slalom ski, or too wide to be good on groomers. I bought a new pair of Atomic Redster Q7.8 skis on eBay in December and absolutely love how they handle. These skis are...

Same here in Orangeville. But then we already had far more snow than those closer to Lake Ontario.

So stealing mail is insufficient grounds for dismissal from CP, according to the Union. Wow, just wow. What I take from this is he couldn't cope with the workload so he found a way to hide the problem. At least he remains on leave without pay until he can prove this lifelong issue is under...

Your best bet is to find skis with bindings. As @GreyGhost advised, most shops won't touch bindings that are more than 10 years old. Sort of like a 5-year old helmet, it's still good, but there could be liability issues. If you do find more recent bindings the cost to install them would likely...

No, but theft from, and damage to, vehicles parked in driveways is a large problem here in Orangeville. If I have space in my garage to keep the car out of sight why would I leave it on the driveway?

Well I'm a one bike / car owner and have a 2-car garage so both fit nicely in there. I prefer to keep the car in the garage for the reasons mentioned and it also makes it easier to blow out the driveway if there's nothing parked on it. In addition, there's the security angle that you can't steal...

I keep everything in my garage. I really hate clearing snow off the car on winter mornings. In summer the interior of my black car is also not an oven when I need to use it.

Also not motorcycle related. I gifted myself new skis.

I've never bought a new bike in all my years of riding. My 1997 ST1100 was bought in 2007 and I will ride it as long as it keeps running. It is the most comfortable and reliable bike I've ever owned and like the Energizer Bunny it just keep on going. It has a little over 200K km on it now, and...
