BigSausage 0 Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 I know its still early, but I can't resist. I intend to get out there much more this season and be in the park more, more time, more air, more fun. Link to post Share on other sites

snowboard_freak 0 Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 Ride lots of pow. I want to focus on spinning and rails as well. I want to get my confidence up for boardslides. Link to post Share on other sites
Siem Reeves 0 Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 There is so much to do this season, the mind boggles!!! Lots and lots of powder... lots and lots of face shots... Hakkoda, Hokkaido, and little old Getou... maybe a 360, a tail grab or if I work really hard, 180 (difficult on skis, you know!!!) Ahhh, the thought of winter leaves me with the warm fuzzies Link to post Share on other sites
HotMagma 0 Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 face shots? and they are...? Link to post Share on other sites
Siem Reeves 0 Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 ... when you're skiing through powder and the snow is light, fluffy and deep that it hits you in the face... Link to post Share on other sites
HotMagma 0 Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 A-ha. We like that. (thanks) Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 Face shots are a damn nuisance. It's better when the snow is still light and creamy but just heavy enough not to fly up into your face, obscure your view of the upcoming trees and freeze your chin off. It's my aim to ride exclusively in the latter kind of snow. Link to post Share on other sites
GoodTimes 0 Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 Good times on and off the slopes, (some face shots too), day and night. My first full season living here and I'm stoked at the prospect. Link to post Share on other sites

Fattwins 0 Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 Ocean the deeper the better. in reality there is nothing better than a nice powder face shot. Knowing that your riding the deep shit and its kicking up all over the place leaving smoke trails in your wake. Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 Make it back to Niseko for the season is my dream now but it doesnt look like its gonna happen... Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 i want to slide the rails a bit better. this year i will hit more true back country. I want to explore the takasu area even more. Link to post Share on other sites
Bowler 0 Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 Saw DB do a back flip last season and didnt half make me jealous! My targets the back flip! Helmets a must buy! Link to post Share on other sites
Davo 1 Posted September 4, 2003 Share Posted September 4, 2003 More of the same; tree lines, backcountry and powder as much as possible. But I can enjoy bad snow conditions on a crowded geland day as well. Link to post Share on other sites
jared 0 Posted September 4, 2003 Share Posted September 4, 2003 I have 1 goal firmly fixed in my head but I dont want to jinx it by writing it down. Hopefully youll see the movie online sometime and hopefully its not on the faces of death series. Also the usual assortment of getting lots of pow, filming some of it, lots of days up the hill followed by onsen followed by big sukiyaki beers and ski movies at my house with buddies. P.S when do the water jumps close for the season? Link to post Share on other sites
NoFakie 45 Posted September 6, 2003 Share Posted September 6, 2003 Start telemarking (them boots is comfortable!) Ride some nice stuff on the board on the good days. Hike more lines. Do some regular XC for fitness. Link to post Share on other sites

NoFakie 45 Posted September 6, 2003 Share Posted September 6, 2003 You've lost me brother and all I've done is try on a pair of boots (plastic/carbon fiber Scarpas). Link to post Share on other sites
miteyak 0 Posted September 6, 2003 Share Posted September 6, 2003 A year or so ago you posted to the effect that if you were ever to telemark it would be soft boots and skinnys. I was merely enquiring as to whether your potential interest in telemarking this year might be along traditional or modern lines. I guess the synthetic nature of your boot interest answers my question. As for boot comfort as a whole, one major reason for my swing to telemarking was the discomfort I got from snowboarding in the foot department... Link to post Share on other sites
