muikabochi 208 Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Was just looking for you on the Gala webcam, Tubby, but looked like visibility is down to about 2cm! Hope you have fun. Link to post Share on other sites

Chriselle 158 Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Off to Ochanomizu shopping for some fatties. Hey....That's the 2012 Fat-ypus line up. I might have to ride a few of those models to see how they are. I've been riding mid-fatties for years now but I have a hankering for something more comfortable when I'm feeling adventurous...

muikabochi 208 Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 I think TB'll be fine, it cleared up a lot here this afternoon. looked like Yuzawa did too Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 I'm here!! Just got back..........the Shinkansen's were all delayed. The snow today was excellent, yeah visibility was a bit ropey earlier on but there was no wind, just nice n light flakes of snow falling. I didn't think the snow was wet, today I fell back in love with Powder snow riding!! My new Bataleon Board, which up until now I've been unconvinced with, really came out with its A game when i needed it. I tweeked the binding angle and that seemed to put me back in control....felt like where I had left of from last year. I take back all the mean things I ever said about Gala, I had a quality day today. Link to post Share on other sites

norcal 5 Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 I went to Annupuri today, high winds and snow. Couldn't see too far ahead, had to wait for someone to go by so I knew where to go, lol! (On the first run) Not a life/death situation, but definately gave me the creeps for a second when I couldn't see the course! Hope you can all get out somewhere soon!
