Trencher,

Maybe there is a new sharpening technique shown in the video. Did you notice the sparks when he crosses the tram rails? If you were to hit these at the right angle ...volia... instant tuning :!: But what are the chances ???

Also a tad difficult to carve in asphalt I expect! :lol:

Mike :wink:


I think the ski edges might have to be industrial diamond/carbide and some sort of ceramic base :lol:

Today was one of those days here and my wife and I and a friend went to the "other" hill in NS, (Wentworth). We had a blast and a surprise as the hill was in great shape despite the 2 inches of rain and 9C weather last weekend. They did have lots of freezing rain too, in that area. Some people still have no electrical power - disrupted by that weather. :shock:

I don't think we have any thing like a dry slope here. Only in the UK, pity!

A dry slope may be better than no slope I suppose. (Oooooo... That will start a discussion.....)

Mike :wink:



Thats great that you got out and were able to have a good time skiing. I heard about your crazy weather on the news!

We have had some warm days,than snow,than freezing rain,now back to -13 without windchill.Today there was very cold windchill. Snow forecasted for the weekend..so thats good. If its going to be cold I want snow for skiing.Not just cold and wind!
