As a new diver I think that I can give a personal opinion concerning the original post. The feeling I get from this board is that DIR - "Doing it right", at first glance, feels very elitist and this still bothers me after all the posts I have read like this one. This would not stop me from...

Hey Seajay, glad you made it back on the board. I hope everything is well and good with you. Ian PS Come up and see us again!

maybe two and fill it with hot water. Bring a food cooler also. At site, pour hot water in food cooler and place your boots, gloves and hood into the cooler with the warm water. Bring a thermos of soup broth or herbal tea and have a cup before diving (this might not be good for people who get...

I posted up a question to the Moderator's in the "Non-Diving Related Stuff" and I also was not given notice as to why my thread was deleted. To bad, so sad :frown: . It was fun meeting people from the board, putting some faces to the names. SeaJay & Matt, it was a pleasure to meet you even...

I'll meet you at the kiss-and-ride (no, you're not getting lucky with me, you'll just have a warm place to wait) on the south/east corner, south of the gas station (Shell I think). I drive a green Dodge Neon, I'll be there between 6:30 to 6:40pm. Ian

The address is - O'Gradys Tap & Grill 2167 Victoria Park Ave Scarborough, On, M1R 1V5 There is also another one on College St downtown. For out-of-towners, take the 401 to Victoria Park and go south. I believe the second lights are Ellesmere Rd. Just before the lights (north) on the...

They said they would hold a couple tables (up to 10 people) near the pool tables in the back. She laughed when I said it was for OFWF and said she would just put us down as "Fresh Freaks". This will be for 7:00pm Friday. Ian *EDIT*- HaHa...Just realized this wasn't a offical OFWF event...

but I could pick you up at YorkMills subway stop at around 6:30pm. Ian

Damn, we've only got huskies...we must be further north than you. Ian

One note though, initiation fee's are between 20 - 35k. For the price of a car or 4 vacations for a family of four you have a place to ski for the rest of your life, which your children can also take advantage of. Something to think about as you get older and start a family. Ian

It's called Alpine Ski Club, it's a private club so you need an invite and can not just purchase a ticket. If you are coming out this Friday to meet SeaJay I can tell you more about it then or PM me for further info. Ian

Just as in diving, you dive what you can. When you say "bunny hills" you can only be talking about length as some of our hills are as steep as anything I have skied in North America, we have true Double black diamond hills at my club (46 degrees) . I also ski at a private club, so no waiting in...

Can't get the time off and I can't afford to ski and dive at the same time :17: :17: :17: :17: but thanks for the offer Ian

for teasing us poor Canadian divers this way :17: maybe we will have to get those vertically challenged strippers after all Ian

Sorry to hear this happened to you. Be very carefull now as you will be more susceptible to frostbite in these area's (I'm hoping your doctor did mention this to you) Ian

would be to have a dinner meet-and-greet, then an after dinner cocktail hour so that everyone can participate, but Seajay would have to tell us his availability. Ian PS R - I have heard of a minor frostbite, with that referenced area you made, at a -55 C temp out on the oil rigs way up...

"O'Grady's" at 7:00 - 7:30 pm Friday would be best for me, any later and I don't know if I can make it as per my previous post. Ian PS Seajay - It usually is not this cold in TO and the -30 C you posted is with the wind chill factored in (means it feels like the posted temp with the wind...

but not very cold by Canadian standards for this time of the year :slaap: Ian

I think the best place would be the one that Seajay can walk to from his hotel ("King George Arms" or "Phoenix and Firkin") but then again a taxi would only be a couple of dollars. O'Grady's is good too. I'm driving anyways so a few minutes either way won't make a difference to me Ian

though I do post now and again. I would also like to come out to visit but will have to make it an early night as I also ski and my family and I go up north on Friday nights. I called the Radisson and they have a lounge (go figure, they call it "The Lounge") that is part of their resturaunt...
