No I think im going to hike into the steeper chutes but we will see.

Will try to get one more in before the south winds come a calling!

All you have to do is stand on a ridge from inside the resort be in focus and snap as you usually do.

LOL they arent as tight as they seem to be. Look at the spaces not at the trees.

slide till may there is tons of snow out there.

they were special days the worst thing was going back to work on Tuesday.

muika there were more people taking pictures than there were actual people sking anything. Do you board or ski? Next year if you come give me a heads up and ill get you to shoot some action shots if you want.

The last part http://www.snowjapan.tv/sjtv/video/hakuba_daze_part_three

Part 2 Sunday and Monday mixed http://www.snowjapan.tv/sjtv/video/Hakuba_Daze_part_2

After much trying. Alot of of uploading. A bit of doing it all wrong about 10 times I finally decided that SJTV was the way to go. I had to lower the Quaility and split it into 3 parts. This is video shot on Feb 18th 19th and 20th. One of those days Muki was here shooting video. The snow was nice and stable. Running lines out the back. Jake and Miles ran most of the east facing lines Muki took pictures of. We decided to stay more on the North to each his own. Here is the first part Saturday.

Any modern lift without a safty bar is just plain unsafe for children to ride alone.

I embeded the video to Snow Japan and there was no name on that video about who I was connected to at all. I did the same thing with my past 2 videos

Does this work now? Im uploading a none music version

Will try that

Ok thanks

Yeah it works in Japan and Canada just not in Aus. I need to find music that can be used will try to sort it out.

PS I have no idea how to embed sorry.

Had one of the best weekends of the season from Saturday to Monday. Thank you final exams for the day off. Got to ski trees and push out to some semi open lines on Friday. On Saturday we road some high Alpine type lines which were good. I even think I say a certain SJ photo taker snapping pics of the lines that people were hitting. The Video is a bit long close to 15 minutes. http://www.snowjapanforums.com/index.php/videos/view-48-hakuba-daze/

If you want you can pm me and I can give you more information.

Im pretty sure the rule is 3 peson chairs and up require safty bars

Yeah near the station there is a store selling Mountain gear. Also another place near Nagano station as well but I believe they are the same chain stores. There is an awesome boot fitter at goryu called 500 miles they have rexan or gen boots

For alpine boots Yamatoya near the station. Rappie has a small selection as well and some used boots for sale in the back. Hakuba is a ski town so expect prices to be a bit higher.

haha i know the people who skied some of those lines. saturday was good

My father inlaw death slide Fuji in the 70s and spen 2 monthes in the hospital.

Im more concerned with the drinking and the violence that coems along with it. I dont find Aussie day to be fun at almost any bar in Japan.
