I have some 03' Head I.M 75 skis. They rock at Hakkoda. You all need to head up here sometime!

I have this ski resort game I've been playin were you have to design your own ski area. It's pretty difficult! They only give you like $50,000 and it goes by really fast.

As you all know there are many choices for head cams. Does anyone have any advice on which brand to buy?

A buddy and I are going to Whistler in March. I'm so stoked!

Maybe Cheney and his buddies had to use them for duck hunting? I'm sure you could shoot a whole bunch of ducks with those big mommas!

Another awesome weekend at Hakkoda! I went out Sunday and it was just breath taking. Nice clear skies. The snow is starting to get really soft, but it is late in the year. I skiied one run with this japanese dude that was in his early 70's. This dude can still rip it! This was one of many highlights of the year. So many memories I'll be able to tell to my grandchildren down the road. Hopefully when I'm in my ages, I'll still be able to ski like him. If there still is snow....ski/board until the day your knees fall from under you. If anyone wants to go up to Hakkoda give me a holler.
Enjoy everything that makes skiing/boarding so awesome.

Barok! What's up fello cheesehead? I'm from LaCrosse. Where did you ski in Japan? I mostly ski Hakkoda and the nearby areas around Misawa. Hopefully I'll be able to do a lot of spring skiing.

I'm very happy with my hard case Pluck. REI has them for a pretty good price

Ski and still going strong. Well, a bit tired and all. I'm still having fun!
-
I was out snow shoeing today around the Hakkodas. Still plenty of snow to be found. Tomorrow should be a nice clear day. That's what snowjapan says anyway.

Wow! Nice pics :-) That would be so much fun skiing that. I'll guess we'll just have to ski b.c in a few years.
-
Sounds good! Let me know and I'll try to be there. This military shit is fun haha.

This cold is kicking my arse. I've had it for about 4 days now. I really wonder why I went to the Hakkodas today? I guess I love skiing too much.

Wow! What a day of skiing :-) It all started at the Base Exchange parking lot even before the sunrise set. This chilly morning I was the first to arrive and a bit bit antsy to be skiing Hakkoda even with my cold kicking my arse! Finally, a few minutes after 7 o' clock the ski van shows up! Then my other buddy shows up, but wait, we are still missing our fouth skiier. :-( After a few minutes of waiting and a no show, we headed for our journey. We finally arrived after about 2hrs on the road. Everyone that came along was really excited to be at the Hakkodas. The weather was typcial Hakkoda weather...cloudy and snowy with no visibility. This is the norm and would not put a damper on skiing too much. One of my buddies ran into a huge deal on the top of the gondola. This of all places isn't the best place to have a problem with your equipment! The other day he bought new ski boots. Well, this was his first time skiing on the new boots. The bidings are set to far back and they won't adjust any further. We are thinking of what we can do. Should he just snowshoe down the the mountain? Maybe, have him try our skis? That's a fantastic idea we all say. My buddy adjusts mine inside and they fit! Well, we put our skis on and trouble hits really hard. He falls right out of my skis while he stomps on the snow. This isn't good at all and this is are first run of the day :-( The only choice was to ride the gondola down. Poor fella! He told us everyone was looking at him funny when he jumped out with skis in hand and he had two punches on his 5 ride card just like that. Lucky he was able to rent a pair of Pocket Rockets for the remainder of the day. The weather wasn't the greatest at times, but we still skied some amazing powder that was a good waist high. This is what skiing/boarding is all about. Just enjoying friendship and doing what you love. So do yourself a favor and get out as much as possible this year! Plucky, if I left anything out my bad. I think the medication is kickin in.

When do you think we should head down there Plucky? Seems like it would be an awesome time.
-
It seems like ya'll how know how to have fun down there. Maybe a few buds may have to go down to Nagano.
Ski/Board On!

You should check out Hakkoda. That's my advice. Do you like to rip it? Keep me posted dude. I'm sure we could round up some folks near Misawa.
Ski-On!
Appi Kogen off-piste action?

Why go to Appi? Hakkoda is much better for the powder and you can find some pretty nice stuff there.
