Good night skiing resorts
NECK replied to John-San's topic in Snow talk, trip reports, Japan avalanche & backcountry
Yeah, Hirafu night riding is epic when you score it at the right time! Deep powder tree runs in the dimly lit sidecountry with your buddies. Happy days Pretty much anywhere else sucks -

I've been to quite a few abandonments. Maybe I will post some pics, but they are not ski/snow related. -
I NEED A BURTON FISH
NECK replied to NECK's topic in Snow talk, trip reports, Japan avalanche & backcountry
Picked up my Fish today. Guess I'm in for life! So now just gotta count the days away for those deep tree days.... -
Onigiri, Snickers and mixed nuts in the pockets/pack for me. No time to stop and dine with the gapers when the shred is on!

This one is getting a bit old now ........ Goryu/47 joint winner surely -
The easiest way to get around this, is to take your family and go and work in another EU country for 3 months. From that country, you can take your non-EU wife and kids to the UK legally, without any income or savings requirements. Maybe this loophole will be tightened in the future, but for now it's legit.

Top Ten Powder Boards (Mens)
NECK replied to seemore's topic in Snow talk, trip reports, Japan avalanche & backcountry
Gonna go check it this weekend. Pretty sure I'm gonna take it. 250 bucks seems like a fair price for a 2007 fish with only 5 days on it. -

I'll take the slushy park days in April and May for sure As for riding icy groomers, s****y mogul courses, long cat tracks and stuff like that during peak season?.....Yeah, if nothing good can be hiked to on that day or I don't have my ride buddies, I'd rather just stay at home. Save all that other stuff for the gapers!! -

It's ALWAYS about the powder. Cruising only the groomers is fun for about 10 mins....I wanna be ducking into the trees and getting face shots at least every 2nd run! I'm no extreme hiker either, I'm happy with the side stashes, but for me I want the pow days I'm with Tubby , only I don't mind putting in the leg work to get the goods! Cortina delivers waaaaay more than all the other resorts in the valley hands down. Late season park sessions are pretty much the only time I touch 47 these days.
