For something hardcore people probably know, the Peak chair at whistler off to the right is the kind of terrain I hang out on. Have done spanky's at blackcomb and we just repeated outer limits over and over for fun. Nothing in Thredbo worried me. We had 40cm fresh at thredbo. Heavy and wet but

Paging Cptn Stag...tell me tell me how do the SPs do in the trees when going slowish...do they turn or is it like driving a bus?

FT will love this thread. Im going over old ground I know but I have read a lot on epicski tetongravity and here... I want to try park, ski switch, try the pipe. i currently spend almost all my time off piste and plan to continue this. I consider myself an advanced/early expert skier with the mountain just opening up to me (starting to get into double blacks like at red mountain). I want a ski with a future. Im a turn boy not a mach 10 cliff dropper or bowl ripper. Though I aspire to ski faster and "bigger". I like trees. I like powder but am not very powder experienced (yet) -

Oh, meet a couple of friends of mine: Mr MVP and his Bro MVP new model.. Ebay can be your friend even if the post takes 4 months... I now have 2. One for the reconstructed knee and one for the good knee. I know its a bit over the top, but 8 months of rehab and the operation are not where I want to go again. And a redo is much more likely to have a bad outcome. http://www.gallbrosmedical.com.au/

ill try and remember, though there is somewhat of a time difference i think to Aus....

Tsondaboy, four of us ozzies will be in Noz from Feb 1. We'd love to be catching a meal or two out and bring on the traditional fare...

Kevs just doing what he does best...as in being a prat.... he knows full well where the question is coming from cause hes coming on the trip with me... he also knows that the dodgey IT setup i have going for my wife has pluses and minuses...pluses being I do it cheep cheep (free)...minuses being no other mortal man will understand the true dodginess that I have created under a bill of about $1000... last time we "outsourced" for a ski holiday the IT guru spent >4 hrs without actually fixing anything (my wife simply reinstalled the app on return and it was "cured") thx

Quick Q again guys. Flight gets in 630am Saturday to Narita. Plan is to Takyubin the ski bag(coffin) up to Nozawa Onsen on Saturday and plan to clip onto the skis Monday late or Tuesday am after shopping in Tokyo (new skis ) Do the takyubin companies work/deliver over weekends?? or is it like only business days?? Im planning yamato kuroneko thx in adv

Got a spot in our booking in Niseko Hirafu currently vacant. Some interested individuals but no one committed as yet. Week on offer is a twin room in a pensione in Niseko (western style - as in twin beds) from I think 20 to 2005.02.27 - exact date to be confirmed... as in last week in Feb from about Fri. Anyone interested? Typically I have some no shows for my usual ski trip booking... I booked this direct and make no money btw....its all for the love of skiing...I think 71000 yen (Aus $900) inc breakfasts for the bed email jdooley@bigpo nd.net.au

has someone asked if you have good backup policies I know the ones i have for my wifes business are cr*p daily, offsite and all that.... maybe rsync to another server... this site is just fantastic and I doubt my 6 friends and I would have come skiing in Japan at Noz and booked direct without it... it really is one of the best skiing sites ive seen..!

Hi, whats it like for intenet access in these two resorts. I may need to admin a server from Japan ... I need to be able to use remote desktop over broadband (so any dialup solution is out). thx in adv

all i can say is 1) o m g ! don't do it again and 2) what a life experience to recount in your golden years

Man, commiserations....rest up

The gold coasts bloody hot....must be 35 in the sun...hopefully an arvo thunderstorm

Im gonna be forced to try the park this season....im seriously considering buying body armour before going in....any advice on what kind? Im too old for injuries... Im thinking 661 http://www.cyclelink.com.au/category578_1.htm I expect falls are inevitable...I want to lower the risk..Had helmet for ages...Prob going to get wrist guard/gloves... Thoughts?

ENJOY! I hope it keeps snowing a bit for ya..

$aus lift ticket Perisher blue or thredbo 80/day $cad lift ticket Red Mnt 48/day $cad whistler 61/day Europes too far and too dear US dunno, need the dollar to fall more the mountains Canada vs Aus ... well as Jules said : ain't the same ballpark, ain't the same league, ain't even the same **** sport! Red is steep and fresh. whistler is big. I'll let you know about Japan in 4 weeks time On a cost basis though it seems surprisingly cheap...ast least accom and lifts and flights
