Thundercat 60 Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Hey SJers! I've been a little quiet on the boards these days because of my workload... hope you haven't missed me too much I'm staring up at Mt. Fuji every day now with one thought running through my head! Anyone else considering going up there for a ski? There is still plenty of snow which will likely remain for some time now... If I can get organized enough (and get someone to come along with me!) I'm thinking about heading up there some time during Golden Week. Let me know if anyone else is interested! Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 I missed you BM! Workload?! I can't believe it! About Fuji, I heard it was about to erupt, is that not correct? Actually I would be interested if I didn't have too many things going on and it was a bit nearer! Link to post Share on other sites
gnarly-dude 1 Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Can't do Golden Week but I would be keen on the idea after that, if that would be a possibility. Link to post Share on other sites
norcal 5 Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Is that allowed? Always wondered if it was...would be awesome to do. A real story nobody would believe without pics, lol! If so I'm gonna give it a shot next season Link to post Share on other sites

There are quite a few videos of people doing it. @gnarly-dude, I'm not sure that I'm going to be able to get myself organized in time for GW anyway... I'll let you know what I come up with!

Jynxx 4 Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 From what I remember, I think the first decent was by a Japanese pro skier Miura Yuich in the early 70´s. We thought then it was a big deal. Seeing it done on boards, I wonder how many people have done it over the years ... Be interested to hear your story. Link to post Share on other sites
Thundercat 60 Posted April 29, 2011 Author Share Posted April 29, 2011 Well, I've been researching a bit... I don't think I'll be doing it during this golden week. There is still a lot of snow up there and the roads up to the fifth station are closed (but tentatively open dependent on the weather...) Hopefully at the end of the month I'll be able to get up there... its going to have to be a last minute decision though as I have a few big projects on the go and some looming deadlines!

Thundercat 60 Posted June 2, 2011 Author Share Posted June 2, 2011 I was all ready to go two weeks ago with a friend of mine... we'd even registered with the local police but unfortunately the weather was terrible so we pulled the plug. I'm going to try it again next year when I can give myuself a little more time to prepare for it... (hopefully) Link to post Share on other sites
Nisoko 6 Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 I'd love to do that. Keep us informed in advance, I might join you. I would bring some beer and cheese. Link to post Share on other sites
jonnyboy 0 Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Would be sweet to get that done Link to post Share on other sites
snowdude 44 Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Sounds really cool, I would like to try it, but not sure if my level is good enough for fuji? I would say I am now an advanced level skier, but not an expert level skier for sure. What sort of level do you need to be to ski fuji, anyone know? Link to post Share on other sites
Metabo Oyaji 71 Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 I'd be up for it. Give us some advance notice next year, eh? (Assuming you don't mind completely unqualified, out-of-shape idiots joining in, of course. ) Link to post Share on other sites
yoroshiku onegai shimasu 2 Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 I might be too. Although we might need to have a separate outing for the completely unqualified, out of shape idiots! Link to post Share on other sites
