I listened to seemorenomics and did ok. Prob should have paid trip off sooner but all done weeks ago as dollar slid but got spending money at parity, so could have been better but not too bad. See you there Whats the prediction for near future? Down or Up!

So I built my own powder board
pdoull replied to gozaimaas's topic in Snow talk, trip reports, Japan avalanche & backcountry
Goz From previous threads I get the feeling you like longer boards for the more surface area/ more float. Do you ever go shorter / wider for the same effect? pros/cons with respect to riding pow? Pretty sure the quest is to tailor boards to get the best riding experience on Hokkaido Powder days. Is the 164 going to be wider? -

My trusty 156 Allian Backman plus new/ secondhand additions of 165 NS Summit 160 Fish (now est - cant be split) 162 Malolo (est) No more till decisions are made, don't know which ones to carry (that I enjoy the most as haven't ridden any yet - but pretty sure the fish has a spot) although will sneak one into wifes board bag. Will probably have to suck it up and carry all. Hmmmm! Maybe one more, smaller softer flex reverse camber fun board for chits and giggles -

Well done. The cost, whatever it is, will be forgotten as soon as you point that thing into a powder stash! I reckon your a bit of an ideas man seemore and are good at sniffing out a bargain. But will be interested to hear cost. I was put off by freight /taxes/ my uncertaintity with some aspects of freight forwarding so haven't gone down that path for buying a board yet. -

What Fish are you checking out? How much the seller asking? It was the last model before the est and I paid $250. Some SJr's may say that is a lot for an older - 2nd hand board but it was in perfect nick ( ridden 5 times ) and the seller helped heaps with delivery so I didn't mind paying a good price for a pre loved board. Still a bargain compared to mark ups on new one. Curiously, I placed it against the 162 est Malolo just purchased and by eye, couldn't see any difference in the side cut profile but did notice difference in weight.The fish feels more solid / heavier. It will be -

Good movies you've seen recently
pdoull replied to yamayamayama's topic in General off-topic discussions
After a big week at work - relaxed and watch a few dvd's on the we. Watch Django - after earlier reviews here The Hobbit Jack Reacher - have read a few of the books, although not the one this movie was based on. Enjoyed the movie but find it amusing that in the books, Jack Reacher stands at about 6" 5' or thereabouts and he is played by Tom Cruise. but imo he did a good job. The life of pi -

Comms - Communication. Think I read in a previous thread somewhere that you might be looking into the above subject. And was curious to see what you decided to go with if you did. From other previous threads I know there are issues with what can be used and what can't in Japan and also the costs involved. -
Snow shoes
pdoull replied to pdoull's topic in Snow talk, trip reports, Japan avalanche & backcountry
To be honest I haven't been to the Aussie snow fields for years but am keen to try out gear. I'II look into it (again tbh first I've heard of it) or do you have some details/ link. Sounds like fun and just the motivation to get me off my ass and down to the Aussie snowfields . -
