Snow in Japan 2009/2010

06-07 I did a quick trip to Switzerland from Hakuba in late Jan, and considering both were having what you call bad seasons, things were a lot worse in Europe. 07-08 was an average year, and last year was considered a bad year also, but as mentioned bad here is considered epic in most other resorts. As GN mentioned also, our European Contingent is minimal, and Apres, nothing compares to Europe, as does nothing compare to Bars Like the Fridge, Hanks, Snow Drop..ect -

There are boards that are good for all conditions, a quiver is nice but really pic the style of riding you like and the rest is magic.. like a wand.. And Ger... Ski's are different than boards. Buy one get one free! -

The Burton is new this year, but I have had the Lib Tech version(Banana and C2 Banana). I would highly recommend them. Great in all condo's especially powder.

On Ice, the lib Tech's have Magna Traction which helps, but its still ice and if your a beginner, then you will still struggle.(it's a board, not a wand!)
