Uh wouldn't doing something like this equate to extortion and end up turning the tables on yourself? I mean I can understand the emotion invloved, but don't let it cloud your judgement. For a fee of 50% I would travel there and do the job for you. I am 195cm and 85kg. Big enough to scare the bejebbers out of most people.

Skiing under lifts the POLL
mogski replied to peaker's topic in Snow talk, trip reports, Japan avalanche & backcountry
What of that little peice did you not get SKI? The idea of a air in a certain place and landing on a chairlift if done correctly and by professionals could be quite commical. Of course dangerous at that, but definitely commical if excuted properly. -

Quote: Originally posted by miteyak: Well, obviously because some dickhead might jump off the lifts and land on you... I take it you aren't serious with that cause everyone knows you are not allowed to jump off the lifts I do agree with you Mr. Wigs on the terrian and skill base theory and I do agree that some places skiing under the lift is crazy given the gradients that some have, but surely a little bit of commonsense should be given to under-lift terrian that is relativly safe for all and then those that are being flat out no-no for all levels. I don't disagree with the rul -
Skiing under lifts the POLL
mogski replied to peaker's topic in Snow talk, trip reports, Japan avalanche & backcountry
I have one question regardin the skiing under lifts thing that I cannot find an good answer for: Why is skiing under the lifts such a bad thing? Where is the danger in this? Please do not take this as me being an advocate or a promoter of. I am merely trying to establish what it is that is deemed to be so dangerous. -
At 85 I wouldn't care if my partner was having an affiar. Hell if you can get that far without one then you have done a pretty good job. Let the old man revel in the bosom of someother woman. Hell I know that if I had to..um...well I would defintely want a little younger. Still good on her for standing up for her morals.

Okay help an amature out. I look at that photo of the river there and it doesn't look too bad. Doesn't seem that scary, but then again I am only looking at it. What are the hidden dangers in that part? Touqe, the "ducks" name is GOD. -

Corny corporate slogans - let's collect and shame them!
mogski replied to 7-11's topic in General off-topic discussions
Here's one from the library of bad slogans from this auto company: いいもの長く Literally translated means "good things long" The English equivalent given to this was "Creating Together" I am sure you could imagine the wonderful days spent by the native English speakers on this one. -

If they get paid big bucks to issue that then I wanna work there! I know I can do as equally a gooda job! -
Go to bars and look for girls Both rarities in most places, but hey it certainly fills in the time from dark till morn. The fun is in the searching for. It helps to not think about the reality that neither exist though. Try it some day. You will either go crazy from the pain of this or you will just go plain crazy. Whichever way I figure you can't really lose much. Once you tip the scles to the crazy side there really isn't much point in grading the levels of crazy.

Ever fall into a tree well?
mogski replied to badmigraine's topic in Snow talk, trip reports, Japan avalanche & backcountry
veronica, a tree well is the area at the base of tree that is snowless while all around is walled way high with snow. This happens because of the overhang of the branches of the tree and the wind ciculation round a tree base as it passes on down. Here\'s what often in tree wells I have seen very few tree wells in J-land, but that's only because there is nothign more than scraggly looking jiisan trees -
Niseko the new Aspen??
mogski replied to Dean's topic in Snow talk, trip reports, Japan avalanche & backcountry
Mudguts, I don't ski or snowboard. I hate the sports. I hate snow, I hate the cold and most of all I despise that stuff they call powder. -

You can Kayak in that too?! At 6'4" or so I could probably sleep under and be protected from the environment, but sleeping in it that is not gonna happen. -

I gotta agree with you there FT. Recreation shouldn't have to cost so much. -
Niseko the new Aspen??
mogski replied to Dean's topic in Snow talk, trip reports, Japan avalanche & backcountry
Nah forget Niseko. Nothing special there. Bad terrian, finickle snow, too many trees and far too many people. Oh and the number of foreigners up there is crazy. Makes the whole place scary with all the possible bulgraies and theivery that could happen with all them around. There is no bars or anything to enjoy after the painful skiing/boarding experience. It is just dead up there. Anyone with the slightest bit of interest in doing this mega resort stuff in Niseko has the wrong idea. -

What's this?! Someone has stolen my idea!?!! I gotta start patent proceedings earlier! Quick web research shows the SOS Bug to be big and cumbersome and somewhat full of efficient use bugs. My desing will be the size of a penlight battery operated by the same and will fit into pre-fitted pockets in all clothing and other itmes of value that can and will get lost. It will be activated with a push similar to that whihc you find on those singing birthday cards and the activiation of one device will activate all within a range of 2m. Similar deactivation system to save battery po -

That story brings to mind a good invention that I should start on. Beacons for gloves, skis, poles, goggles, favourites beanies etc. All the stuff that can possiblly be buried in those amaxing powder falls. This could save all the poor powder hounds alot of cash each year. Anyone want to invest?
