I ll be there around Christmas.

Kagura opening day 23 of November last year 2 seasons ago only the top bit of the mountain in the above pic was open and that with fake snow.

22 of November for kagura

Have you ever done Yotei Mike?

We are saved!

I use solid wax never tried the spray, and its fine. I use shoe wax, the same I use for my hiking and snowboard boots.

As long as you wax them regularly you will have no problem with leather gloves.

Great picks Mantas! Is that you dropping in? Chiba was decent this weekend with occasionally over head waves. I got caught by a 8 feet set while going out on a longboard... ... ouch!

I am aiming to 40 ideally 50. We will see...

What happened, did you convince the mother that she is the one that needs therapy.

And just to defy that I got my self 2 pairs of hestras and 2 for my lady, both snowboarders.

Nice, I am curious to see that. Not as massive as the tanker but still huge. You will be plowing a path wide as a cat track!

Not full time but a lot! We will probably do Fuji again when there is enough snow to ski down to 5-ko-me. Order yourself a pair of spark bindings with the split, if you haven't done already! What split did you get, Prior, Never Summer, Voile, Venture, Nitro etc?

You also got a split? Are you interested in doing Tateyama this year?

The guy was trying to convince me to rent a nitro gun, which is too big even for my taste now.

Apologies, I thought he was referring to your body position on a longer board. We are on the same page regarding the forward lean and powder riding.

I also have forward lean on the bindings. And also lean forward on the board with my weight more on the front leg rather than centered. If we are talking about the angle of the highback, then I have to admit it has no effect on rear leg burn or maybe actually worsens it since you are forced to a squat position. I still like to have a few degrees on the highback though, I find that the board responds faster.

I am not 100% sure about that, but if there are any restrictions they should say it on the ordering form.

Cheers Hokk, I didn't even know that this kind of service existed. If you know any more sites please let me know.

Hey I didn't know about that, send me details!!!
