HelperElfMissy 42 Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 TJ, you brute! I hope those moguls were at least powder covered - they were alternating ice mountains and slush bowls when we went through in March! Link to post Share on other sites
seemore 66 Posted January 4, 2011 Author Share Posted January 4, 2011 Yeah MB They had a little bit of fluff on them but just fell wrong. Went to Tsugaike today very busy but managed to get a whole heap of untracked runs under a single chair that wasn`t working. And it was still fluffy up high. So not a bad day for being sore. Don`t know where to go tommorrow if only it would snow tonight. Seemore Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 To those who hate moguls - I recommend you don't try out Hakkai-san in Niigata. To those who love moguls - try out Hakkai-san in Niigata! Link to post Share on other sites

nippontiger 8 Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 I understand that its tough for boarders, but am I right in thinking that a good skier should be able to ski the moguls? I cant ski the moguls BTW. Link to post Share on other sites

blu 3 Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Moguls - not before spring softening, then it's like a mini boardercross. Link to post Share on other sites

Mintyjulep 0 Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 I'm a bit scared of moguls, and mr Minty just piped up with "not all good skiers can ski moguls" Methinks we will avoid them. Link to post Share on other sites
iiyamadude 6 Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 I can ski them, fairly well anyway. I just don't find it much fun and my knees complain afterwards. Link to post Share on other sites

That´s understandable Originally Posted By: MintyNZ ...mr Minty just piped up with "not all good skiers can ski moguls" that´s laughable. but it is true. Moguls are a bit of a specialist skill. I love it. Brings me back memories of Freestyle days. We used to try... ski with body straight down the fall line, only legs flying left and right. On good days we could do it, but most days were within arms length. That made us good slalom skiers. The real deal mogul comp add that and time limit (speed) and air ... crazy stuff Link to post Share on other sites
mina2 6 Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 On a purely superficial level, lots of blokes doing moguls look totally gay doing it. On the other hand, chicks look hot. Link to post Share on other sites

seemore 66 Posted January 5, 2011 Author Share Posted January 5, 2011 Went to Cotina Lots of moguls there as well but heaps of potential. Everywhere needs snow. Norikura Kogen looks really good better angles and more open for me. Seemore Link to post Share on other sites

Mintyjulep 0 Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Back to hakuba being packed with Aussies - not even, it's packed with Americans! MB I hope there are many more such days to come, because right now it is approaching 8.30am and our best possible outlook for today is to have a few quiet runs at iwatake or goryu Link to post Share on other sites
