I rec'd a sample of Jasper slip via NCECA, and have just gotten around
to testing it. I tested Albany, Alberta and Jasper side by side, and
found Jasper to be the closest to Albany. I went and looked at both
Tuckers and PSH sites, and neither lists it.

I live 1/2 way between Toronto and Detroit (about 2 hour drive to
either). Can anyone suggest a supplier within "spitting distance"?

Many TIA
