TJ OZ 0 Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Blue sky powder day for me and the crew this morning. Got the whole place up early for some great tree runs and perfect groomers, beer and pizza for lunch and then an onsen. Life is good. Link to post Share on other sites

TJ OZ 0 Posted January 22, 2008 Author Share Posted January 22, 2008 Three of 26 I had up there with me. If it is sluffing and I am not bottoming out and I am working on my tan at the same time then I am happy enough. Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 26! I dont think I would ever tell 26 people at one time! Remind me never to tell you anymore spots I go to cause you will track it out in a day with 26 people! Link to post Share on other sites
skidaisuki 0 Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 I may be in the office in Tokyo now, but I was there for the Oshougatsu Mega Dump of '08. 4 days of deep, deep powder... So there! Link to post Share on other sites
TJ OZ 0 Posted January 22, 2008 Author Share Posted January 22, 2008 Beginners, kids, groomer masters. We had all sorts up there. I was riding the trees with a group of five. Lots of internal hooting going on. I reakon there was only another 100 people at the resort anyway. Sweet sweet morning. All the crew are back now. Time for a chardy up at the bar.

contender 0 Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 It really was a good day today. We were pleasantly surprised by the snow quality. We expected dust on crust and got powder Link to post Share on other sites

TJ OZ 0 Posted January 25, 2008 Author Share Posted January 25, 2008 Another two contrasting perfect mornings. Yesterday just kept getting better with each run. Today hit some great tree runs with blue skys. Battered and bruised. I think I need a day off. Link to post Share on other sites

I have to go out most days to check conditions. Another blue sky morning here today. I am going to have to pass up on todays powder fix though. I am in a world of pain. Icing up the leg. Hopefully I can get out with the party crew tomorrow. Link to post Share on other sites
Jyves 0 Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Poor you! I don't know if you do but stretching before and especially after is quite useful. Yoga, jogging and hiking (doing a 15km one with a 900m ascent today) on off days also helps. Good luck for tomorrow! Link to post Share on other sites
