Mike Pow 52 Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Thursday and Ger Had a good old chuckle remembering last season's thread. Currently on 173cm Blizzard Titan Cronus 123-88-110 Was worried that they would keep me afloat in comparison with my Salomon slalom skis (65mm under foot) from last season. Needless worrying.

Go Native 70 Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 I'm just amazed you got up enough speed to have that powder spray mate, you know with it being so flat here and all... Link to post Share on other sites
Zaoman 0 Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Perhaps someone pushed him, or he has a jet engine attached? Link to post Share on other sites
Go Native 70 Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 He does seem to be pole planting pretty hard! Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Nah. It's quite obviously photoshopped. Or just taken in HAKUBA (which by golly is ace. Ace-est, easy.). Link to post Share on other sites
Curt 1 Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 That's right. I've never actually been to Niseko but I just know it's crap. Link to post Share on other sites

At least being the cultural capital of Japan means we don't have to rely on the ski field alone for tourism. Link to post Share on other sites
samwillis5 0 Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Mike Pow, I noticed a thread by you on another board "I ski instruct for a living and the pitch of the terrain and the density of the snow in this area is the best I've experienced to enable recreational skiers to transition from piste to off-piste and from shallow depth powder to nip deep powder I am in Niseko for a week from 7 Feb (then Furano then Nozawa) and looking to get a few lessons along precisely those lines. How can we get in touch with you? Link to post Share on other sites
