FT Nice shots. The one with Kuma with his arm up in the air is probably about the size you want. I wish it was that nice up here were in the middle of a heat wave.

looks really cool there.

Got zorched really bad skining up from goseki onsen to Moiwa today. Only to think damn I should have brought water skis for the run down.

Serre were you in Niseko this season

It's a luge run. Not a bobsled run. luge is the small sled that you lay on your back and only a few inches off the ice.

Dont really know. However the international school does a yearly trip trip there. I think they make reservations maybe

damm!! good shots. Looks like you guys are having a sick season. One ? whats up with that creek crossing??

Thanks for the pics Serre. It looks like it was a good course.

I would not call it scare tactics. It's a pretty sobering film

Please post some pics would like to see

They have a luge run at Fu's in Sapporo. I think it was from the Sapporo games in 72

Which version of the sidewinder?

And I thought it had some thing to do with the temperature at first. Nice shots guys

I believe the only difference between paclite and XCR is the weight of the outer fabric. However you may want to check gores web site. For under layers up top I go with a silk weight, mid weight base layer, then a mid or light weight insulation layer. Followed by a gore-tex shell or soft shell. On the legs is some stretch polar-tech followed by a gore-tex bib. Mix and match depending on the weather and activity level.

As Kraut says spraying should be done after washing. However the spray on does nothing for the gore-tex. One should not confuse the gore layer from the nylon outer layer. All the outer layers are treated with a DWR treatment which help shed water. Respraying the outer shell just retreats the nylon outer. Stay away from the wash in retreatments as it may clog the gore and prevent it from breathing properly. IMO

Many places will not ship Arc Teryx overseas from America. I think there may be some agreement in place with retailers and Arc Teryx.

Anyanghasaeo Matty There is a direct flight from Seoul to Chitose on KAL once a day. Like 2 pints said check out the lodging section on the forum. There are a bunch of decent places listed.

The shell is just one piece of the equation. Just as important is what you layer underneath it. Having the proper layers to wick sweat into the outer layers is just as important. I have a gore-tex shell but depending on the weather conditions I will also use a soft shell. Generally the gore is fore really nasty weather and the soft shell is for nicer days. The soft shell breathes much better. The gore offers better protection.

Looked like it was sweet back in the trees. Hope you guys had a good time. Did Diz get hurt back in there?

Just hit the quarter century mark

Thanks
