brit-gob 9 Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Nice one Mamabear. How many times has he been now? They don't know how lucky they are! Link to post Share on other sites
HelperElfMissy 42 Posted March 3, 2010 Author Share Posted March 3, 2010 He has been to Niseko 6 times, but the last two times were in the same season, and actually the first two times were as well (Jan and April). He went to Japan once without snow, at Cherry Blossom time. Altogether 11 week in Niseko over the lifetime. But he has also ridden in Aus, NZ, Switzerland and Italy. He first saw snow when he was 11 on a school trip and on ski's, and the next trip he was 14, in Niseko and learning to snowboard. He loves it. Link to post Share on other sites

charlotte 0 Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Thats great Mamabear. 11 weeks at that age! That is impressive! Link to post Share on other sites
HelperElfMissy 42 Posted March 3, 2010 Author Share Posted March 3, 2010 nah...11 weeks is the total time he has spent in Niseko ever. This season he had 6 weeks - 3 weeks in Dec/Jan, home for 2 weeks and then back for another 3 weeks. Link to post Share on other sites
charlotte 0 Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Yeah thats what I meant Mamabear - still very impressive! Big question does he want to go again? Link to post Share on other sites
HelperElfMissy 42 Posted March 3, 2010 Author Share Posted March 3, 2010 oh GOD YES! He is missing the snow already. Has done a week and a bit at Uni, turned 18 yesterday, and can't wait for the next snow hit. Likely that the next opportunity will be Thredbo in 4 months time. Total snow time for him has been 19 weeks if you add the other resorts he has ridden at 18 of which have been on a board. Link to post Share on other sites

BagOfCrisps 24 Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Mamabear, can I ask - why is he Reaper? Link to post Share on other sites
HelperElfMissy 42 Posted March 3, 2010 Author Share Posted March 3, 2010 It was a name we picked in January after we did our big buy up in Kanda shops. He bought that bright yellow and black Death Label board, and a face mask that is skeleton like. When we picked a CB call sign (after a few failed names) he settled on Reaper. And it has stuck. The 2nd boy really hasn't had one stick. The 3rd boy got BFG (from the story book character the big friendly giant) but I am not sure how long that will stick - his brothers are starting to call him 'tank' at the moment - he is really bulking up muscle-wise with all the water polo training. And the youngest had quite a few, but Powder Baby seems to have stuck. Link to post Share on other sites
HelperElfMissy 42 Posted March 3, 2010 Author Share Posted March 3, 2010 I had it pointed out to me by a friend who was with us in Niseko in January that the first song on that clip is one of the songs Reaper chose to sing at the North Wind on our Karaoke night out. That was a FLUKE! Link to post Share on other sites

I have NFI how those songs worked when the other didn't... ) I think it was pre-ordained! I would like to work out how to do it properly though ... Link to post Share on other sites

thursday 1 Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 You shoudl've picked your parents more wisely * * That may have sounded like a go at your parents, but it was not. It was a go at you for not picking the most accomodating parents. Link to post Share on other sites
