Thunderpants 0 Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 I have to say Epic! i know the snow haven't been as much as last year, but thanks to some great inspiration from this site, i have been pushing my limits, explored "powder-land" and in general had 1000% more fun than the previous 3 seasons i have been here in Japan. had 11 days so far (not bad for an 8-18, mon-fri working man) ATB Thunder Link to post Share on other sites

This goes to show, you can have fun on the mountain no matter what the conditions! I answered average. I'm a greedy bastard though, and want as much snow as possible. I plan on doing a ton of backcountry in the Hakkodas this spring on the new knee. The more snow, the longer I can ski. As always, however, I've had a freaking blast this winter! Just getting out of town, hanging with my friends on the slopes and ripping it up is enough to keep me sane in this crazy country I still haven't had the ski patrol called on me this year though. Perhaps I'm not pushing hard enough??? Link to post Share on other sites

vancity_kid 0 Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 This season has been off the hook. I've had about 10 days out so far. I don't think I've ever had this much fun. Can't get enough....................jibbing rules! Link to post Share on other sites

mattlucas 0 Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 This season is epic. Considering the last 20 of 27 days have been Fat skis days I would say it has been a great season. Japanese Powder Rules!!!!!! Link to post Share on other sites

danz 0 Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 amazingly, this season is turning to be damn amazing...a little too early to put the "epic" tag to it, but it has the potential... Last year was a definite EPIC year...but I have had countless powder days this season and hope to have many more... gandalf has been very happy danz Link to post Share on other sites
SKI 15 Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 Good. Not been out as much as I would have liked to because of work, but good when I have been out. Here's hoping for a long lasting epic. Link to post Share on other sites

linalmeemow 0 Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 4 days so far, all at Gala (no car, don't like buses!) and conditions have improved every time. Got my first ever taste of powder last week and I'm absolutely hooked, though I haven't got the hang of how to ride it. I keep sinking! Still, I have 4 days in Niseko at the end of the month to work THAT out, if the snow gods are smiling on me! Link to post Share on other sites
