Looks like you had a blast on and off the slopes. I can't wait to get up there.

Another tragic tale, when will the bad news stop. Vibes to family and friends. It would seem there would be further safety features on gondolas.

There are lots of canadians of the forum, and there is much fun to be had for a intermediate-advanced skier all over Nagano. How many ski days will you be looking for.

So tragic, thoughts and prayers to families and friends of these climbers.

great deal on Arcteryx Gamma jacket

Just talked to someone in Hakuba, they said the snow is so deep it can't even be skied in many places.

Its like a zoo up there! Gotta love those holiday crowds.

Liddel just put a whoopen on Silva, great fight. One of the best UFC fights I've seen in a while.

SJF can you move this to the Avi & Backcountry Forum. I put it in the wrong place

Preliminary Avalanche Accident Report

boy says TV helped him survive man killed in same avalanche Location: Red Pine Chutes, The Canyons Resort, Park City, Utah. Brief: Boy and his father were burried, father dug himself out and called for help. No beacons, probe line found the boy after about 30 mins. Discovered boy unconscious suffering from hypothermia. Another man died in the same avalanche. Seems that this slide occured inbounds and ski patrol was on the scene in 4 min. A teenage girl was handed a probe and put on the probe line, eventually ended up finding the boy. Freaky! I don't know

I agree 90% of my gear was purchased in the states.

Great summer sleeping bag on SAC now!

Great winter bag on SAC right now

the only time I have found deals there has been on last years stuff so if your looking for anything new I doubt you will find it below retail. There are bargans to be had there but you gotta dig. That has been my expirence anyways.

I want to do: that line, and that line, and that line, and then do that line and that line. and then wake up.

Theres something about McConkey will always be one of my favs.

Yean im always over rotating my cab 10s, Im gonna have to get bigger skis to slow my rotation.

Yes Merry Christmas, I will be working all night tonight. Maybe Santa will stop by

I need a beacon, I have put it off for to long.

pretty good picture, comparable to most helmet cams I have seen. Those darn face shots covering the lens.

You will find Kagura to be a great place for day trips if your based in Tokyo.

Most boarders don't like Killington because there are a lot of flat spots you have to hike across to get to other areas, but I here they have a good park. Okemo usually has a good park as well.

I miss night skiing, I used to do it all the time back on the east coast. Never in pow like this though.
