SnowJapan.Com#3 0 Posted June 6, 2003 Share Posted June 6, 2003 A new Backcountry Boardroom feature, "Tateyama - Adventure in the Alps", has been put online. http://www.snowjapan.com/e/features/boardroom-7.html "The first thing that goes through your mind when you arrive at the Tateyama Murodo terminal is where did all these people come from? The next and more pertinent question is, 'Where are they all going?' You would expect them all to be in the classic flannel wear that is the norm in the Japanese Alps or in Gore-Tex and carrying skis or boards, yet most of them are in street wear with ladies in heals - and of course they are all toting cameras and shooting a roll a minute of the walls of snow." http://www.snowjapan.com/e/features/boardroom-7.html Please note that the views expressed in any Features on Snow Japan are not necessarily those of Snow Japan.

klingon 10 Posted June 6, 2003 Share Posted June 6, 2003 Sounds like a lot of fun. Mr Orange should go there- bet a lot of calories burnt off in those few days. Looking forward to the second part. Link to post Share on other sites
NoFakie 45 Posted June 6, 2003 Share Posted June 6, 2003 Nice one Dave! I loved the comments about the menu and the people who let you break the trail and then overtake you at the top. That looks like fresh snow on the Tateyama Ropeway (the red cable car). Link to post Share on other sites

BigSausage 0 Posted June 10, 2003 Share Posted June 10, 2003 It must take quite a while with that much piled up and compressed. Link to post Share on other sites
proudtobegay 0 Posted June 15, 2003 Share Posted June 15, 2003 That sounds like a fantastic experience, although a lot of hard work at the same time. Link to post Share on other sites
