Fattwins 0 Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 The tour was supposed to head way behind Mt. ShiroUma but,,,, as things turned out that just couldnt be done. We went with plan C and toured behind Mt. Korenge instead. This by all means wasnt a let down. Ive always wanted to ski Korenge's North facing spines and chutes. A sick area that will have to be skied again for sure. As it turned out the snow wouldve been dangerous for our planned route down shakushi. Too much of the old snow from the week before that still had not slid of of the faces. Here are some of the pics I will re edit many though as they didnt turn out the way that I wanted them too. To SM who hopefully can do one more tour thanks for coming out I had a blast. I wish that you would stay but Im happy that you are moving on to bigger and better things. Not a bad plan C Sunsets at 2300 meters are nice A nice turn I was pumped Jer finding a sweet hole again Maching away from a sluff slide man what a line I like this pic cause it shows both of my line from the weekend. Look close and youll see where I dropped into the steep face chute thing. I dont know what to call it but nice. Ian the monkey and Jer thanks boys The monkey works his tired legs on the 1300 meter decent Big phat open spring corn! Dont put the boards away come out and freaking play!

samurai 0 Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 Originally Posted By: sock_monkey This is my favorite action shot from the trip, FF posted it above but it's worth posting in white: That verticle cornice above those trees is screaming for a big ol' arc-to-air. One turn up above to spot the landing, then a set-up lefty, then arc 'em right and launch. Lucky I wasn't there. I would have spent waaaay too much time traversing the face just for that clean-ass air taking off next to the trees. cheers for that shot, monkey Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted May 11, 2007 Author Share Posted May 11, 2007 actually impossible the face is its own chute. it was the next chute down, I had planned to drop into it. On the way down though I spotted the sick opening and dropped in earlier than planed Link to post Share on other sites
