Patrol must be more reasonable with their policing policies- full stop. Stopping people from entering potentially life threatening terrain is understandable. If this was the case then people would respect these rules. Stopping people from taking off-piste lines that are as safe as houses or even hits that are within resort boundaries does nothing but create bad vibes. How can a competent rider be able to progress, surely not everyone needs to be a backcountry enthusiast to develop. You guys spend way to much time on this. When riding with bad vibes, bad things will happen. Patrol are not polic -

its like surfing- not alot of australians die in the surf each year, but alot of visitors, enticed by class Aussie barrels do.

And for those looking for a more chilllllllllin night, try the party next door. Local reggae night that always goes off, give some off of that positive vibrations back to the people who keep that town ticking all year. Plus there is a nude spa bath session in time with the live reggae act, you JET cats missed that... -

That shit is off the hook. Absolutely mad, but highly entertaining to look at. Any fotos of the big NZ drop out there?? Wouldnt have a clue how close a boarder has got to that size air. Dare say mass damage would occur if someone was trying out that shit. -

The waiting.
sheepshot replied to BulbFish's topic in Snow talk, trip reports, Japan avalanche & backcountry
Well try waiting down under, when everyone here is looking towards a long hot summer, and a few waves, they all think im mad waiting for the sara-sara to fall and get back to Nippon Alps. Only looking at a couple of weeks this season, off to save the world from Feb (www.peaceboat.org), but for those in for Jan Hakuba sessions, we shall be seeing you soon. A big shout to the Hakuba boys, 902crew chief ripper Yusaku-for convincing me to come back with a new board gift. Will enjoy some waves until then. Kiwoskite minasan.
