Could be some cold snowy conditions this weekend...

(off topic) Hey enderzero, hows Baker looking dude? (/off topic)

Cloud Temp. Cold -----> Coldest

I'm thinking that theres gotta be some Japanese ladys out who need some loving... long time.

Can't wait!

Actually, it looks cold!!! Anyone got a first hand report?

I thought we could continue to update this thread with live conditions in Niseko just up until offical reports start coming through. Heres the webcam. It will continue to update automatically. Feel free to add your 2 cents. It looks pretty nice for October

I hope people didn't pay to slide on that?

These are dudes...

Cheers.

If your flows are the first bindings that you have ever owned/used etc then yes, you have made a wise purchase and you will love them!!! Please don't be put off by my comments which were only aimed at riders who are faced with being in their bindings 7 days a week for a whole season (i.e., season riders or snowboard instructors etc) Enjoy!!!

Hey all. I didn't mean to start a flame war! Yep, its all personal choice and if the flows work for you - go for it. I don't like them and I couldn't justfiy buying them but that is my personal choice. I also don't like mushrooms but that really means nothing does it. Anyway, whatever makes you enjoy the snow is all thats important when alls said and done.

very cool

deebee, I did not do a season with flow bindings but I taught a season alongside an instructor who had them fitted and he was forever having problems with softness, looseness and comfort etc. In addition to this personal experience, my advice was also based upon the advice of numerous shop riders and a couple of professional snowboarders. Cheers.

Unless you are a beginner I would really suggest against flow bindings. They are really an elementry binding. Try http://www.drake-bindings.com/ they are really good bindings and have a womens specific binding as well.

either way echi, if your naughty, email me if you want more naughtiness.....

Cheers, Drew I leave Sydney on the 18th Jan and will also be there for 2 weeks. Looks like we have a bit of overlap. Theres 8 of us going, me my girl, my mates 2 sisters, and 4 other dudes!

Guess its the fact that niseko is the one place that is really promoted by snowave etc...

How'dy all, I'm from Australia, going to be ripping up Niseko for a couple of weeks at the end of Jan 2003 so if you are going to be there at the same time give us a yell! Cheers
