Would love to go here, heard so much about it. Good stuff! -
Heavy snow please. Now!

Yep! Looking encouraging, let's hope it sticks around a little! Oh, and no fog would be nice too. -
Aizu Kogen Takatsue 2014

Right, I've uploaded the images, one by one. I don't know what it is, but for my mac the uploader is pure paff, regardless of browser. Maybe it's because I use iphoto and it doesn't like the way the images are stored? Anyhow, You have the pics now. Hope they work out well -

Can't see a way of Private Messaging you? Member details also offer no email. Might be me being an idiot though. EDIT - looks like I'm too new for school. Could you please let me have messaging privileges? -
Aizu Kogen Takatsue 2014

Yeah, I'm trying to upload the Pics to SJ, but the uploader seems borked. At least for a Mavericks-running MBP with a firefox browser. I can upload singularly, but honestly that would take forever. Anyone else having troubles with the uploader? -
Aizu Kogen Takatsue 2014

Okidoke! I'll have to do it later, though- graduation ceremony calls (my job, not mine!) -
Date of visit: March 1, 2014. Early morning to 4pm Snow Conditions: Early morning corduroy, turning quickly to crust, them melting to slush later. The groomers did their very best with what snow they've had, but it wasn't Top Dog quality by a long shot. Ability Level: Improving/Intermediate, free run Set-up: K2 Raygun161 (All Mountain Rocker), centered weight and 15/-13 angles (goofy), highbacks at 12. ~~~~~~~ I'll write a review proper if I can, but I'll just pop a few words and pictures here now. Long story short, the resort itself is good, spacious, with a fun va

You'll have to see the report! So, The morning was a write off, the afternoon... actually was pretty good! Managed to get some pictures and a little off-piste in. But I honestly feel that Aizu's season is finishing sooner rather than later; there were slips and exposed veg on many of the borders. -

View from about halfway up. Thankfully it's cleared up now, and there some snow scheduled to fall in the next hour. Not that it means anything to me, but hopefully people get to enjoy tomorrow. -

Yep, up top it's fog as far as the eye can see (120m) No pow to speak of. Really empty though, so there's a plus! -

Wellp, one look around and you can see this place hasn't had a dusting of snow in a while. Maybe up top will be better.. -

Pies, that didn't half make me giggle. Good work! -

I hope so, I love hogging the bed, so to speak. As per other thread, I'm heading to Aizukogen Takatsue tonight, after a full 5 hours afternoon/evening of training and coaching. Gonna sleep well on the train at least. Any suggestions for my film of travel monotony? -

It's ridicularse in the capital today. No suit jacket for the first time this year. At this rate, I'll be boarding in my Bermudas tomorrow! -
Affordable Powder Boards
Peetan replied to Gunma Boarder's topic in Snow talk, trip reports, Japan avalanche & backcountry
The goodwood award was what swung my raygun purchase as well. Before that there was a Turbo Dream 159 on sale at a nearby Sports Alpen at a ridiculous price, but someone snarfed it before I came back with the money. Different kind of board I know, but it did look hella fun. -

Oh man, this is one of them rites of passage, isn't it. CULT FORUM! ...will this do? Do I have to eat it there as well?? -
I notice some people here are rather delicious with their use of the camera. Just wondering what they do to bring their kit along? I can't stay upright long enough to dare think about bringing my DSLR, but for those who do is there a particular bag or tip that they have? Is it proper sacrilidge to take pics using a 5S? Is there a winning (and cost friendly) case that helps in the event of sheer idiocy? Question Marks? ?

Daburupōsuto sumimasen! Yeah, I go there as a failsafe. Runs aren't anything special, but there is some tree fun to be had and it's not famous enough to have every man and his dog (literally, by some recent photos) messing up your jam. If I can get a decent bakaproof case, I'll try and get footage/review done l, as the last one is a few years ago? Can't do much on the black runs yet, though. Maybe next year. -

I'm hopefully not done either. School holidays FTW.
