Or, did ya move to Matsuyama because you never got the hang of boarding in powder, just swimming around in it were ya? Link to post Share on other sites

daver 0 Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 but these are a couple old shots of me. i usually ski alone here in japan so there is nothing to report of my japanese powder adventures unfortunately. Suckers Go Left on CPR ridge at Kicking Horse. a really fun run that requires first knowing the area and then some super exposed billy goating to get into. and this is Prarie Oyster. a fun steep face in Feuze Bowl. not nearly as tough to find or ski, but great to open up in.

daver 0 Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 would love to man. gotta get down there. it is surprisingly difficult to get to hakuba from yamagata. i'll possibly be down between the 5-9th of jan, maybe over the weekend of the firefest in nozawa, and otherwise maybe throughout march. regardless, if and when i make it down there, i'll be sure to let you know.

Fattwins 0 Posted September 27, 2006 Author Share Posted September 27, 2006 dont get me wrong i like all TR and stoke but I like this better. All in the same area all the same skier. First it shows the angle of the run. Taken straight on so its hard to show the angle. That means that it is steep. When the skier is in mid turn even in relaxd unwieghting they are forced out of the snow. Again you can really only get this on the steeps. LAst the skier goes into the best deepest shot enjoying the last of their line getting deep into it. Its not a dropped turn for the camera its just a skier enjoying the last 3 to 5 turns. There are a veiw shots that i love from last season this is one of my top 10 favs. Its the flow and the fibe of what is going on in real terrain. Link to post Share on other sites

Kumapix 0 Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 I don't understand these skier shots (not cb's) where the skier is leaning all in the snow and all you can see are his gloves and ski tips pushing through. it seems to be a cool shot cuz I see lots of magazine covers with shots like that. There's always the caption 'deep powder!'. IMO, I enjoy powder alot, but it's the floating on powder that is great. I wouldn't want to do laybacks so that I'm almost buried in snow, just to show that it's 'deep'. I also do my best to avoid faceshots, since (especially in trees) you can't see what's coming.

Kumapix 0 Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 like how can this be fun: the guy is slowing down and has just given himself a face shot. look at this snowboard example: the guy's in control, going fast, you can tell he's in powder, etc etc. Link to post Share on other sites
