mattlucas 0 Posted January 22, 2004 Share Posted January 22, 2004 Fattwins you are correct on that. Niseko doesn't have many steep runs. But what it did have that appealed to me was early season snow. That didn't work out this year and Hakuba got the early snow but I am hoping next year will be back to normal. But now that I am back in Gifu I am going to be skiing the hills in Gifu and Nagano for the rest of the season. Link to post Share on other sites

alferg 0 Posted January 22, 2004 Share Posted January 22, 2004 nofakie! - your wife rips! those are vids - all shot on DV, right? its much nicer getting the full 30(or 25) frames per sec... the canon stills cams weve been shooting on only get 15fps... doesnt capture the true majesty of those fat rooster tails... :sigh: Link to post Share on other sites
woywoy 0 Posted January 22, 2004 Share Posted January 22, 2004 Your wife certainly rips nofakie. She looks very very comfortable in the pow. How long has she been riding? I bet she is a seasoned veteran! Very sick videos. I love watching pow vids even if some people say they think they are mundane. I love riding pow and love watching my mates rip it up as well. Would love to hook up with you guys soon for some riding. Cheers Link to post Share on other sites

Fattwins 0 Posted January 22, 2004 Author Share Posted January 22, 2004 Montoya I have had all the gear for years just wanted to know the finer points. Is it worth it yes it sure is. Lots of beacon practice. NOt just one beacon either which is important. good route finding skills. digging pits with people who know how to do it. I have a greater respect for what I ski now.
