i've never used them, and once
i spent like an hr. diggin' (and
prayin')...
maybe straps are the way to go if its
a full day of the fluffy stuff...
but my last 6yrs skiing was all on
the artificial snow mtns. of the east coast...

hey nat...
you know, you don't need a gym...
you can do some kick-ass ski-specific
exercises/strenghening drills in your
own room/neighborhood...cheaper and raw!

hey nat...
i broke my back skiing once...it sucks...
doctor said i shouldn't use a back supporter...
you don't want your body to become dependant
on it...next thing you know you are going to
need a cane....
do lots of sit-ups...and other exercises that
can build up the area...
good luck...

yo...
I highly recommend the Scott World Cup
goggles...they are cheap (like $20 from
artec.com) and don't fog often (no goggles
are fog-proof)...they also fit over helmets
nicely if you use them...

why can't we just all get along....

hey dayzed and confused
(great movie by the way...)...
I'm not a boarder, but I can say for a
fact the new skis out there today are
much more fun than the old sticks we used
to use...
less effort, more versatile == more fun...
and if you just watch some of the ski movies
out there today, you will see that new school
skiing is as sick (if not more) as anything
in the snowboard world...just my opinion...

well...i got here at the end of the
season (april...), so i've only been
to yuzawa (don't even remember wich
mountains i skied....) and Zaos for
some summer turns, but that will change
come next month!!
I plan on making it to hokkaido and multiple
trips in honshu (I live in ibaraki, so i'm
not sure where the best spots for me are yet....)

hey badmigrane....
yah, i have some problems with my boot...
i have custom foot beds, but they are
getting old and are cracking in the heels...
when i lived in boston i used to go to this
fantastic boot guy, but i didn't have any money to get the work i needed done before i came to japan...it probably involves a combination of boot stretching and foot bed replacement...pain in the ass, but my feet suck (maybe i should watch my language around you...)
i'm on Head World Cup boots...they are great
except for pinching right on the ankle bone...

Anyone know of a good Boot guy in Japan??
someone that knows something about feet
and has lots of experience with footbeds
and boot modifications...
tokyo area o.k....but I live in Tsukuba,
so anyplace near there would be better...
thanks...and pray for snow...
