errr... I though you were into science? How's the poster coming on? -

Yes, would be awesome! What sort of time would you aim to leave? I can get out of here a bit earlier than normal probably and if I just bring my gear to the office I won't even need to go home (and FT can enjoy mocking my suited appearance). -
Hakuba Car pool
Kingofmyrrh replied to Fattwins's topic in Snow talk, trip reports, Japan avalanche & backcountry
so you are going on friday now? That might work out pretty nicely as I haven't heard anything from Stunts. All my gear is in Hakuba as well so I take up very little space (I'm only small!). -
Spring or Winter or Both?

That looks like awesome fun. I hope we can do something similar this weekend! -

Great shots, thanks for putting them up. That slope search killed me. Shameful how disorganised I was, a good lesson! -
Hakuba 47 - Sold
Kingofmyrrh replied to Rag-Doll's topic in Snow talk, trip reports, Japan avalanche & backcountry
I briefly met the guy responsible. Didn't really ask too much about it as it's not really my bsuiness, but he is a super-keen skier, more so than most people on this board (with a few obvious exceptions). -

53 degrees on Leap Day

Oh so it's all professional... I was hoping for something more exciting! -

I know it's ridiculous, but I just have to have either green or blue stuff, much like you need to wear purple... I know, I know, I should be mocked for turning the BC into a catwalk, but I just really like blue and green. Please feel free to mock me as I deserve!

You have to remember I am junior scum and I'm not all that wealthy! Plus there has been some serious wealth transfer from me to the Hakuba region, centering on Rappies... Anyway, it looks like the Arc'teryx jacket I really wanted is basically sold out worldwide, so there's no rush to order in time for my friend to pick it up in the states. I'll have a good think about it.

Sorry for flogging this topic to death but it is quite a big spend so would like to get it right...

Generally the gore is fore really nasty weather and the soft shell is for nicer days. The soft shell breathes much better. The gore offers better protection. Yes, I have been building up from the skin outwards. Now I need some decent insulation and the shell. I hear what you're s
