  1. Back online!

     

    Actually Yamakashi, we went up to Osorokan(Hiroshima) yesterday and the snow was pretty decent. Ok not the powder we all dream of but they have about 150 cms of snow right now and even though the lifts are mostly 2-man (or woman) there was hardly any waiting done which surprised me as it was a Saturday. We had a mainly blue-sky, cheesey-grins-all-round day.

     

    Maybe because it was my first time at Osorokan but it seems as good as Mizuho (which is bigger).

    Think it has just become my favourite Nishi-Nippon ski-jyou.

  2. Doing the boots up is definately a warm up but I reckon the body needs a strech after sitting in the car for 5 hours (bus 8hours).

     

    Get into the yogic 'warrior pose' before sliding. Then the mountain is yours.

     

    I reckon you need to stretch after freezing up on the lift too. No worries about your groins going and keeping you from sliding the rest of the day.

  3. I agree totally. Even if someone just thought they'd skip on rental costs for the day and 'temporarily' borrow yours. It would totally suck not to have anything to ride on when you're up on the mountain.

    I feel overprotective when locking up in Japan but am always aware that 1 to 2 percent of folk have a stronger devil than angel inside them.

     

    As for if it does get ganked, what are the options for gear insurance. Wonder if it's worth it?
