what's up alberta. i might be moving out west this season. Where, i'm not sure yet, most likely calgary. But I don't know.

does anyone have any suggestions on where to move? or are any of you guys moving out and need a room mate or something?

i really have to get out of manitoba...

Move to airdrie, or cochrane.
Whereabouts in Manitoba are you from? I have family in deloraine, boissevain and pipestone

calgary is a good choice, cop is always fun and right in the city, and there are great places to ski within an hour and a bit drive from calgary

cochrane. It'll take you less time to drive to COP than most places in calgary and less time to the mountains. Not to mention big city life sucks

not everyone hates big city life.

but cochrane isnt a bad choice

if you skateboard cochrane has the best skatepark around these parts. i would still say calgary though. west side of calgary is the best.

Actually i would say cochrance because if you skateboard they have a massive park that that guy above said, and if you mountain bike you can still drive to cop in less then 20 minutes.

you should come live in bentley with me. There are 10 stores in the whole town, 4 of them are liquor stores. 1000 people in the whole town, 3 of them ski. And the closest "resort" has 80 feet of vertical and is open 6 days a year. It's awsome.

Big City Life,
Me try fi get by,
Pressure nah ease up no matter how hard me try.
Big City Life,
Here my heart have no base,
And right now Babylon de pon me case.

People in a show,
All lined in a row.
We just push on by,
Its funny,
How hard we try.

Take a moment to relax.
Before you do anything rash.

Don't you wanna know me?,
Be a friend of mine.
I'll share some wisdom with you.
Don't you ever get lonely,
From time to time
Don't let the system get you down


Soon our work is done,
All of us one by one.
Still we live our lives,
As if all this stuff survives.

I take a moment to relax,
Before I do anything rash.

The Linguist across the seas and the oceans,
A permanent Itinerant is what I;ve chosen.
I find myself in Big City prison, arisen from the vision of man kind.
Designed, to keep me discreetly neatly in the corner,
you'll find me with the flora and the fauna and the hardship.
Back a yard is where my heart is still I find it hard to depart this Big City Life.

If you are looking to work and ski and have a vehicle calgary is a great place. Search craiglist.com or homerent.ca for the best prices on rental properties in the SW and inner NW. Killarney, Glamorgan, Bankview, Altadore, Kensington, Hillhurst, Sunnyside. These are all communities close to the downtown-core located near good jobs, good resturants and good bars. Now if you want to ski and work (more emphasise on the skiing) move to fernie or banff to still have a life outside of skiing or if you just want good terrain and dont give a shit about women, good nights or anything else off of the hill go to Golden. Fernie is an easy place to find a job and a place to live and get to the ski hill, however if the snow sucks, other resorts arent very close. Banff is harder to find accomodation. Canmore isnt so bad, but there is a handful of resorts within and hour and a half that all offer great riding.

So to sum it up. If you want some big city and skiing move to calgary. If you just want to bum in, work at a ski hill or in a ski town go to canmore, banff, or fernie. If you just want to ski big mountain move to golden.

The Linguist is awesome. Seriously he has some of the best lyrics I've ever heard.

another example

"yo turn, and let your gaze burn over yonder
a young man stern with the hunger
who never puts us under
late night thoughts and the wonder
writing is a lightning
speche is a thunder
kid I'm misinterpreted like a marxist
the scarred will arch this(I can't tell what he says there and don't feel like figuring it out right now)
impartial vocabulary martial artist
practice verbal ti-chi and pilates
the linguist, proper opportunist
quick to drop the new list
of rhymes which review this
right wing stiffiling that was suffering
far from enlightening it's frightening
usher in a new type of verbal well being
as he talks the walk by a canopy of entrapy
into the
linguist who eventually
with a dismaying display of rhyme slaying advances
the impartial vocabularry martial artist"

definatly one of the best rappers out there in my opinion

kimberley does not get tonnes of snow dude. Cochrane is alright but I don't think you keep it real enough to live here, but who knows, this town is filling up with people who don't keep it real nowadays. I'd move to Banff if I was you.

if you were from anywhere east of manitoba i would have told you to stay the fuck at home. otherwise anywhere but calgary there are too many people here as it is. anybody from ontario east. just stay the hell away from alberta you can be a burden on BC if you want to move out west!!

COP is good when it's not icy, too bad it's icy a lot. Then again that goes for pretty much anything

Cop is always icy, but it's like freshly groomed ice, not plate ice so it's not that bad.

move to banff if you dont have a car, hitching is super easy and if you have a ride then move to canmore, the groceries are cheaper. fuck calgary, its to far from the actual mountains
