I saw a pair of bollé goggles. Does anyone have any idea if they're good or not ? They also have a helmet there.

Hmmm nothing in particular right now, but maybe i'll wait for the coupon and check out coastal riders. And any idea when the next sales are gonna happen? I heard this weekend?

How were the prices there? I was also thinking of checking out goggles down in the states.

That looks like costco. I actually have a bolle helmet from there. It's similar to that picture but it's the older model i guess. The helmet I have is pretty cheap, it keeps my head warm and has saved my head twice after bailing pretty hard haha. So if you're looking for something cheap I would recommend it. As for the goggles, the one you have there I'm not too sure about. But I also have super cheap bolle goggles from costco and they don't really fit well over my face which is why I'm looking for new goggles right now. I'm sure the more pricey bolle goggles are better though.

Turkey sale is this weekend in Whistler if you wanna get good deals on anything ski/snowboard related!

Whistler Blackcomb Turkey Sale - Whistler Blackcomb - Official Ski Resort Website - Whistler, BC, Canada

Yeah, this was taken at costco. I guess i will look into that bollé helmet at costco. its going for 59.99. Is there anywhere that sell cheaper helmet that looks a little better ?

Honestly man, I wouldn't cheap out too much on a helmet. $59 is pretty good for a lid. I've never paid close to that mind you cuz I gotta have that LCF.

I got some vonzippers for like $80 with tax

Don't buy the Costco Bolle goggles, they are so-so and the fit is horrible... also fogs up easy. Also, the lens is too dark for cloudy days - can't see properly! :P

Turkey Sale is on this weekend as mentioned, go up to Whistler if you have time for insane prices. Otherwise other stores locally are also having pre-season sales clearing out old stuff, Swiss Sporthaus in West Van, Destination Outfitters in North Van, etc. Comor and the others along West 4th ought to have something as well.

Otherwise, keep an eye out online - I've had lots of luck with Backcountry.com and Steep and Cheap. Cheap shipping to Point Roberts too if you guys do that. I've bought 2 excellent pair of goggles for $40 each.

I prefer Smith goggles rather than Oakley, better visibility on the models I have tried plus a great goggle at a better price. Helmets are always a good investment, I love Giro helmets because they are light and comfortable for wearing the entire day on the hill.

Backcountry.com Ski Goggles - bump any sale up to 50% off. Good deals.

I love my EG2s !
Chrome fishbowl lens ftw

Yeah, that's how much I got mine for I think.. it was 50 something. I did a quick look and the boardroom website has a sale on some of their helmets. Maybe check that out?

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Roastpuff I think i'm getting new skis now...


Double Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, doesn't apply for skis.

Psst, Nordica blemish ski sale here. 2012 Nordica Ski Sale - Blemishes | Ski, Boot and Race Shop | Start Haus Ski Shop Truckee Tahoe

I bought a pair of Enforcers for 299 shipped to Point Roberts. There are even cheaper deals there. ;-)

I hate you

edit: good thing the big mountains aren't on sale...

What do you mean? There is a Nordica Patron on sale for 299, 113mm underfoot. Not big enough? :lol

Lol tried the code for goggles. It didn't work either.

Most goggles are already 50% off, I think... at least the ones I saw were.

Also, the deal is to bump ANY CURRENT SALE to 50% off. Not everything. :p

If you want Oakley goggles, the store in Metro has a sale every November 20% off or something. Dunno if goggles apply though. Got my Danny Kass Crowbars from there, love 'em to death.

Also need a new helmet and poles for this season, picked up a new pair of Vokl Bridges in April this year. $750 reduced to $500. Can't wait :alonehappy:

I can also hit up Cypress or Seymour with you guys, put my GoPro to use lol. As long as you let a lowly skier into your group lol. Not gonna buy a pass though, my timetables are often inconsistent.

I'm a skier too! :alonehappy:

Skiing or snowboarding its all good. Definitely need to have an rs meet on cypress or seymour

I think last year we had 3 GoPros during one session, and there were like 10 of us at one point.

Revscene shredding video?! :fullofwin:

All from Revscene Cypress Meet
Cant Wait !! :haha:

Definitely learned a few things from using my gopro last season. Always have something to wipe the lens of snow/water as well as always check there isnt anything on the lens. Also extend monopod a tad to get more of yourself/others in the shots. Just to name a few.

yep, always check your lens after a bail ;)

Anyone going to the whistler turkey sale? I might head up there sunday

What kind of monopods are you guys using? I usually do a helmet mount, but would be interested in trying to do the monopod mount, looks cool!

Also, how hard is it to balance with the monopod when going down a run?
