Like the bats in Fear and Loathing when the good Doctor and Raoul got near Barstow, so were the voices as I approached the cheese this morning whilst awaiting my departure in the Qantas Club. "Take me

Well an excellent day at Kiroro with LOTS of great pow and to many people, especially westerners. Will let the photos speak for themselves (as Im dead tired) but lets just say Smelly is THE wingman. Way to go mate ;)

 

Here's the motley crew leaving BLack Diamond - two of which would spend most of the morning hiking out of a place I declined to go as Smelly was scared. Thanks buddy, best decision I have ever made.

Here is the little bugger after some sensational tree runs up the top of the quads.

After a few runs and losing my Scando mates who where busily grovelling out it was time for cake and hot chocolate, Smelly's and my fav food. Great sugar hit. Although he is a tad untidy and managed to spill the hot chocolate...

After a warm up we went and explored the hill. Smelly really is soft and prefers Gondys but I managed to get him up this little double. Lots of fun turns today.

Then it was obviously time for lunch, some pork cutlet and curry was all good. Smelly was into it and before I even noticed he was being fondled by a lovely young Japanese lass who was extremely friendly and lovely. Thanks Smelly :)

So here area couple random pics of the fragrant one hanging out at the end of the day. Kiroro was awesome but be VERY wary of riding off piste as it appears a lot of the terrain requires walking out of for some distance and the snow was waist deep in places. Smelly lived another day though as we all did. Stay tuned for the next (un)exciting episode of Japan's favourite snowboarding cheese :)

It was bound to happen, he cracked under the pressure...

Then a sacrifice to the powder gods was made at Smelly's insistence - what is with these cheeses and jumping out of Gondys???

And boy were we rewarded! Smelly may now be an amputee but it was a cracker of a day at Annupuri.

Well we had a bit of a night out last night, will just post the pics. Great to finally meet TB, what a champ. Smelly got rather drunk and played the tart and then this morning had a cracking headache this morning. No riding today, waiting for snow.

In another thread:

 

You didn't take Smelly?! :veryshocked:

 

Im kinda over it Muik.

 

Pete suddenly getting rid of Stinky last year at Shiga Kogen was a hushed up incident.

Most know that he was pushed.

 

Has Smelly suffered the same fate?
