Ocean11 0 Posted April 25, 2003 Share Posted April 25, 2003 The tower to gondola station run at Nozawa. It starts right at the top of the hill, working down through trees, powder bowls, flats, curves and perilous gullies, and spits you out right at the gondola station. It takes maybe 10 minutes, so it's a long one, and doing it in a pack is fun as long as nobody keeps wiping out. Iimori at Goryu was brilliant at the beginning of the season when it was closed and nobody was on it - steep and powdery all the way down, with a drop off into a powder bowl near the bottom.

barok 0 Posted April 26, 2003 Share Posted April 26, 2003 My favorite line is "Hey baby, your daddy must have been a theif, cuz someone stole the stars from the sky and put them in your eyes . . ." Can`t you just see the mulletted, mustached, camaro-t-shirt-wearin` hero whisperin` that gem to the bleach-blonde feathered haired, leather miniskirt wearin` knockout at Stucky`s Roadhouse ? . . . . . . Favorite course is the big sequence at the 47 park - big kicker to big kicker to gap to kink rail - 60 seconds of adrenaline. Link to post Share on other sites

Lama 0 Posted April 27, 2003 Share Posted April 27, 2003 Alpen ridge in Niseko at night after a dump Les Grand Montets, starting at the Bochard Station, winding down to the Chamonix valley..... 1600m odd of verticle drop. Having the chamonix valley opening up in front of you as you wind down is truly amazing. i think it was the run used for the super G downhill in the Albertville winter olympics. if you ever get the chance... DO IT!! Link to post Share on other sites

enderzero 0 Posted April 28, 2003 Share Posted April 28, 2003 Ahh yes, the widowmaker is a classic run down near strawberries and those. You'd have to ask around but it may be an "unoffical" name. db would know. If I ever get around to it you may be able to see some video of the namesake. Link to post Share on other sites
