New training tool
foreversnow replied to panhead_pete's topic in Snow talk, trip reports, Japan avalanche & backcountry
Mr Snowhunter bought a Vew-Do Balance Board. He loves it when he first got it he was very wonky but now he has mastered it and rides it like a pro. He started with 10 minutes a day and now rides it for about 1/2 hour with his snowboard boots on. The puppy finds it very entertaining too!!!!!! -

Has Bureaucracy Gone Mad

EXACTLY the POLLIES and DO GOODERS have ALL gone MENTAL. Do they not think there is a reason why the have a tie on cap!!!! It is very hard to go and rescue someone with a wide brim had and cancer council approved sunglasses. OH WAIT a minute maybe they want the lifesavers in a full brim hat, long sleeves and pants and when someone gets into trouble maybe they can change into their lifesaving garb. IDIOTS. So now the lifesavers will not be able to have vegemite on toast for breakfast, clean their teeth and rinse with listerine before going to work in there WIDE BRIM HATS! -
Crowds
foreversnow replied to waggyg's topic in Snow talk, trip reports, Japan avalanche & backcountry
Sorry to pour cold water on you BUT you have visited in peak season. You perhaps should have scheduled a sightseeing trip for Sunday. Don't worry in a day or so it will be back to normal I'm sure. -
Funny Question!! My Nephew who has NEVER Snowboarded before went to NZ last year had 1 lesson and was doing Blackruns. I have been skiing awhile now have done US, Canada, NZ & Japan ans still can't do black runs. Now is it that I am not 20 anymore with no fear and at my age am into self preservation or that perhaps just an idiot!!

Digital photo frames
foreversnow replied to the snowboarding vicar's topic in General off-topic discussions
SV I bought my mum and dad one for Christmas last year and they love it. Everytime they are having vistors it gets turned on to show the photo's. I have uploaded photo's of her favourite flowering tree, dogs, party's, days out. It is great for them as they can look at it whenever they want which they don't seem to do with all their photo albums. The other bonus is the grand kids email them with current pictures which get put straight on the DPF. GET ONE!! -

Has Bureaucracy Gone Mad
foreversnow replied to foreversnow's topic in General off-topic discussions
HEY don't you worry about that I have checked everything out on that label. THIS IS AN AUSTRALIAN ICON. Most australian kids grew up on vegemite "I'm a vegemite kid". OH NO but now they are going to have to grow up on water because it has no fat, carbohydrates, no salt - HANG ON what about Fluoride what does that have in it!! -
One of my customers kindly bought me in some of her ski gear to borrow for my upcoming trip. A one piece FLUORO PINK with LIME & Purple Stripes Suit BUT WAIT THERES MORE it had matching Hot Pink Fluffy Ear Muffs and Hot Pink/Purple Gloves and Neck Warmer. God I would have looked like the president of the Wham Fan Club. I kindly let her know I had my own. If there is anyone out there who would like to borrow it she has left it with me just incase I change my mind and want to use it.

I can't believe that they want to take Vegemite off the shelves because of it's high salt content in a push to battle the obesity problem. HELLO how many people sit down and eat a jar of vegemite in one sitting??? I am sure NO I KNOW there are people out there that eat a 250gm packet of chips, a 2 litre of ice cream, packet of tim tams all in one sitting. Are we going to close McDonalds, Pizza Shops, Hungry Jacks, Fish and Chip Shops. I am sorry but I choose to be person that watches what I eat and I exercise daily to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Why should I suffer because

I thought most injuries to beginner snowboarders was to the shoulders and wrists. I will let you know after my attempt at snowboarding this trip !! -
Niseko Snow depth Loss
foreversnow replied to banno's topic in Snow talk, trip reports, Japan avalanche & backcountry
You lucky bugger Banno. We have just reached the 30 Days countdown and hoping the snowfalls keep up until we get there. If you check the archives you will see Niseko is blitzing last years snowfalls and depths. With a big front due to come through on the weekend you are going to have a GREAT TIME!!! Hope you packed a snorkel -

Sapporo with kids
foreversnow replied to 2angels's topic in Snow talk, trip reports, Japan avalanche & backcountry
Hi 2angels We booked way back in May and our travel agent had trouble getting us accomodation back then. We are staying at the Century Royal. Don't mind what it is like as long as there is a bed. We are there for 3 days and will be up at the crack of dawn and planning not to get back to the motel until midnight each day. -
Snowboard Boots
foreversnow replied to panhead_pete's topic in Snow talk, trip reports, Japan avalanche & backcountry
Mr Snowhunter had issues with the Burton Boots - Quality was okay but size was way out. Burton Driver X felt really comfortable when tried on and walking around in them but once you were out riding in them THEY WERE AWFUL way to ridge not giving at all. Burton SL 10's but they were a smaller fitting boot. He has now gone for Burton Serow which seems to be the goer. The reason he goes for the burton boots is because of the new Burton lace pull system. Mmmmmm!!! He seems to have bought a few boots without my knowing!!!
