SH,

Shoulder is great! The bruise is almost gone now too. Almost my entire shoulder went black from the injection - was gnarly! I am so glad I had it when I did, and spent the weekend unable to move it because it is pain free and moving without impingement!

 

Lights are coming on about 3pm I think...but I haven't really noticed the transition. Just enjoying the day biggrin

 

Slow morning this morning, not much new snow overnight it seems so we are in no hurry. My 20th Wedding Anniversary today thumbsup Dinner at J-Secca tonight groovy

Hi Guys - appreciate everyone being involved and great to see other pics added wink

This thread started as a means to share part of the season with MIKE POW who unfortunately can't be here this season.

I am guessing most people on this thread know Mike Pow who kept an awesome thread going all the way through the season with tons of sweet pics.

It is a free world and all but if you want to have personal conversations on this thread why not just email that stuff or start another thread - no offense - maybe the niseko check in thread?

Kinda keen on pics and basic commentary

Ventured up Hirafu today and it was looking ok down low - what are with these things ? Snowbikes ?

The higher i went the nastier it got.

Wind packed and hard up top with zero visibility.

Off course still pretty bad - mainly tracked with 'dust on crust' managed one fun line through Miharashi...not sure if the Gondola cue was worth it though.

Did spot this cool jacket while waiting !

I'd like to see the best snow scooter in the world ride just like i'd like to see the best player of the spoons lay it down ! BTW the storm has kicked in here in Niseko - snow blowing sideways and looks like the on mountain new years festivities will be canceled after all. Don't quote me on that though.

Left Hirafu Sat afternoon new years day hazy and hungover and got back tonight - Woah. Took a drive up to the welcome center and it was pretty funny - look like any car that had been parked there over night was smashed.

Yeah thought it was really funny until i got back home and saw (well i actually couldn't see) my car park.

Tomorrow should be interesting - not that cold right now...we'll see what the POW is like soon enough.

Hey Jimmer - bet Kiroro was sweet.

Hirafu was nice but i spent so much time waiting in lift lines.

Check out the nightmare at Alpen this morning.

Clouds rolled in around 9 ish - the single chair opened and people thought the peak was on but alas not yet just gate 4 and another mega line - will be interesting to see if the resort plan on making any improvements to lifts for next season... improvements...pretty please

Man I am so glad I went to Kiroro istead of Hirafu today! That's insane! Their lifts were so much better than ours, I don't understand why if we are busier Tokyu can't buy some decent detachable quads!!
