sunrise 0 Posted February 11, 2003 Share Posted February 11, 2003 Getting down a powder hill properly - ie - doing proper turns without my feet separating and being constantly not quite in balance and without having to stop every 3 turns. It happened just last week, yay! I'm hooked. I still have a long way to go, I lost it again on the next (last) run, but it was an amazing feeling and a great triumph for me.

snowboard_freak 0 Posted February 12, 2003 Share Posted February 12, 2003 Hey sunrise!!! Pity we didn't get to hook up at Niseko while we were over!! You didn't miss much on that day! Link to post Share on other sites
sunrise 0 Posted February 12, 2003 Share Posted February 12, 2003 Yeh, sorry I missed you guys, too. It was starting to get windy that morn, didn't look like it was going to be an inspiring day to travel with no new snow. But I did manage to get there last Wednesday, went with one of the staff who had a car so we got there early and the snow was great that day - a nice new dump of fresh powder to be had in the morning.

snowboard_freak 0 Posted February 12, 2003 Share Posted February 12, 2003 Yep it was windy alright. If i remember correctly we got caught in one hell of a blizzard and just got back from Hanazono before they closed it for the day. The day after was epic! Glad you managed to get up there and get some good snow! Link to post Share on other sites

enderzero 0 Posted February 13, 2003 Share Posted February 13, 2003 Yeah the jumps were good guys, but what really impressed me was the camera work by that guy with the bum foot. Link to post Share on other sites

rajeem 0 Posted March 3, 2003 Share Posted March 3, 2003 Yesterday I felt great. I was going down there real fast (for me)....do you always feel faster than you actually are.... and even went off course (a couple of meters! don't laugh) for a short while. It felt really good!
