last year there was the al-nino issue which meant a warmer than usual winter..this year its the opposite i believe but dont qoute me on it..Vancouver weather is usually just rain..u can bet on that

I think its going to snow like hell. Sucks cause I haven't driven my current car in snowey enough conditions to know if its horrible or not, even tho I am told its okay with snow tires.

Can a moderator lock this thread.
Really dudes, a little bit of rain and we're already talking about winter? Its going to be mostly sunny and +20C the next 2 weeks, knock off the talk of snow and enjoy the rest of summer.

this thread has gotten me excited for winter already... im not a big fan of summer
What are people basing these predictions on? I hope it turns out be like last winter during the olympics - 2+ weeks of nothing but sunshine

I hope it snows lots. Friggen strata president saw how we had little to no snow this year decided to try to save some money and cancelled the contract with a snow removal company.
For pete sakes, we live on a friggen mountain (SFU) that is 1200 ft above sea level.
I want to see the strata president out there breaking his back shoveling the snow and laying down the salt onto the driveway and common area.

Last winter was a "El Nino" (warm ocean current). This year is suppose to be "El Nina" (cold ocean current). So hopefully, LOTS OF SNOW.... at least on the mountains. I also love going to Boundary hill and watching all the RWD's with summer tires (bimmers and mercs) trying to make it up, while I casually drive by in my truck!

No one knows. and since it's a prediction, does it really mater?
Are you going to prepare based on RS member's predictions?

Try living threw a month of -40C and digging out snow every other day, then let me know if you enjoy eastern Canadian snowfalls. :p I lived in/outside Ottawa till I was 29, snow sucks.

i think i'm in the same boat as a lot of people here. had a 2nd vehicle prepared for winter driving and it snowed for like.. 1 day and melted the next. i'm looking forward to actually testing out my winter tires. i already loved the grip on the cold streets w/ rain!

lol, so much hate towards BMW drivers. That's RS.
I live on a hill and I still remember having to teach so many c lai to go easy on the throttle. But the funny thing is that the uncles beside them dunno how to drive in the snow either and try to push the car while the c lai go WOT. After I told them what to do they suddenly became experts and dun even say thx. I love my kind.

Nice racks! ;]
I gotta start looking for one too, I hate having to fold down the back seats and such to get them to all fit.
Would you guys consider one of those carriers or just the snowboard racks.
alex.w *//
09-06-2010, 07:22 PM
^ get one of these.
fits 4 boards with no scratches at all. yakima ones will scratch your board

biggest downfall is gas milege will be horrible

09-06-2010, 07:38 PM
^ not to concerned about gas milage. i rather that than scratching the insides of my car, which already happened.
how much did you happen to pay for your setup? was it new or used on craigslist? feel free too pm ke if you dont want to say in here.

$150 for rack used
$100 for fairing
$100 for ski/snowboard clip (thule)
theres some great deals if you look out on craigslist. or even if you have time just piece it all together
a really good site
