If you're in Vancouver and preparing for the long weekend, you may want to check out Sports Junkies (discount and used gear + clothes) on Broadway&Manitoba. I was there a couple days ago, and saw lots of new or new-looking stuff at a big discount, nicer and more UL stuff than usual. Mountain Hardwear clothing, GoLite clothing and packs and sleeping bag and a couple shelters, ExOfficio, Smartwool socks, Kelty sleeping bags (and tents), and more that I can't remember. And in the used section there's a bunch of MEC Rad Pants, for those of you who remember them fondly.
