SnowJapan.Com#3 0 Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 A new Feature by Nick Kowal (Fattwins) "2006-2007 Season Review", has been put online. http://www.snowjapan.com/e/features/features-fattwins-season.html "What to say about last season really? I can't say that I skied anything super deep or that I even skied in the resort areas very much at all.... The ski season started off with a bang. Getting early top-to-bottom powder turns on Dec 4th at Happo-One Ski Resort when it wasn't even open, I thought, "Man this season is going to rock!" My season did rock, but it was the conditions that dictated which way my season would go. From the outset, I thought that I would be touring more this season. I really don't like to tour after big storms so that usually means a late start, say sometime in February, when the snow slows down a bit. However, due to a slow snow year I started to tour much earlier—on the 2nd of Jan—and just never looked back. That first tour ended up setting the tone for the season. For the first time ever for me in Japan, if I was going to ski powder, I was going to have to look for it. I really do love exploring and explore I did." http://www.snowjapan.com/e/features/features-fattwins-season.html Please note that the views expressed in any Features on Snow Japan are not necessarily those of Snow Japan.

me jane 0 Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Nice one FT. I could really feel the energy and enthusiasm reading that. Never heard a line being referred to as a she before! Sounds like the move to Hakuba has made you one of the happiest blokes in Japan. (But you do need to learn the difference between prefect and perfect ) Link to post Share on other sites
