You're the one attacking and talking about smashing heads!
Or should I perhaps fly down to Australia to deliver my post to you personally?
(You're havent been in Niseko for quite a while have you, just checking.)
Pie I challenge you to find any thread where I've come into it purely to make personal attacks on you. Sure I retaliate but I don't initiate. On the other hand you obviously have a little thing against me and constantly come into threads purely to make a personal attack on me and comments I've made. It's that simple.

My god it is really small!

You did actually* (* that's why I said it). I've got a copy of it somewhere...
All I can say is that I'm going to jolly well try to avoid you!
I certainly don't want my head smashed in, that's for sure!
Of course but that won't stop you making attacks from behind the safety of your keyboard.

I don't recall mentioning you had a small willly?! I've called you a cvnt plenty of times and yes I'd love nothing more than smash your pommy piece of shit face in.

So it seems it's fine to go backcountry and earn your turns but if you actually use the phrase 'earn your turns' then you're a wanker? Is that it? Just so we know so that we don't offend anyone's ancestors and get them all censed!
pretty much…yeah. It makes you sound like a smug arsehole
Thanks for the clarification. We wouldn't want to get all the lazy, fat fvckers censed now would we? Too much effort having to apologise issue afterwards!

I love hiking and mountaineering. For me backcountry skiing is just hiking and mountaineering on snow and getting to ski down at the end of it. The benefit of it is that you're not constrained by things like chairlifts. It obviously allows you to access almost unlimited terrain. It also means you can extend your skiing season greatly heading up into the higher peaks long after the resorts have closed for the season. Even in resorts though I find if you are prepared to just do a little 'earning your turns' by hiking up a bit beyond and out from the lifts you can easily access terrain that few others get to. Not sure if I've ever used the term 'earn your turns' on here before but I'm glad there's a few members on here who are prepared to do it Like MikePow and ozsnowbum. Some of the best trip reports and photos come from guys like them heading out and beyond the boundaries of resorts.

And if a helicopter could get me up there quicker, I'd be on for that.
Well I worked for a heli-ski company in Canada for a whole season and yes getting a helicopter to the top of each run is pretty damned awesome

Mr. SKI, why do u think it such a stupid phrase??
Perhaps you could explain to me why it isn't?
You like expending more energy than is necessary to do something that you enjoy?
Does it make it better?
I don't think so.
Do you not enjoy getting right out into the outdoors? Going places few others do? Getting away from it all? Getting first tracks down a slope? If you don't then sure backcountry or 'earning your turns' may not be for you. Personally I love it. It allows you to access not only some of the most beautiful and untouched places on this planet but ski slopes that you just can't get to using lifts alone. For me it does 'make it better' because the isolation and effort are things I love.

Stupid phrase if you ask me.

Do spiders catch it too?
Only radioactive spiders. And we know there's a few of them in Japan!

Pachinko? Really? I couldn't think of much worse than that!

Golden Gai in Shinjuku is pretty cool. Something like 200 bars in one small city block.

Actually that doesn't look like snow to me. It's ice from the glacier overflowing out of the crater. Another harbinger of the approaching ice age.
-
On the lower slopes obviously. The upper slopes of Granview are well above the tree line.

This guy has the right idea. That is a snorkel isn't it?

Looks bottomless to me

Definitely some snow on a few of the toge's.
国道39号石北峠(せきほくとうげ) 1050m
国道274号日勝峠(にっしょうとうげ) 1022m
国道273号三国峠(みくにとうげ) 1139m

Interesting. Just how high is it where you are? Because looking on JMA a town at 992m in Yamanashi was 13 degrees. Or are you at the epicentre of the next ice age? It's starting at your place is it?
-
Rain and wind but neither are too bad at the moment, let's see what happens tonight.
Its bloody cold out though.
Got the heater on in the car.
I think you're just going soft snowdude. Checking temps around Yamanashi it appears to be around 13 degrees. Not even here in Australia would we consider that 'bloody cold'! Just think how cold you'll be when the ice age hits?
Where will you be 2014/2015?
