ippy 66 Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Speaking of ski patrol: I want to do a big shout out to the australian ski patroller last year on akakan that said "is your mate alright? Im kinda worried about him. You probably want to keep him away from that area anyway because its pretty unstable at the moment, be careful both of you - see ya!" I love myoko ski patrol. They roksorz the sockzors. Link to post Share on other sites
rider69 18 Posted November 16, 2012 Author Share Posted November 16, 2012 Nope not ski patrol im the town part time JHS english teacher. That amoungst other things. Alarm clock went off late but still managed to get a 1/3 of the way up Happo this morning. Better than a morning jog for sure. Nice soft bouncy turns without hitting bottom. Wouldnt call it powder... maybe Aussie powder? Really fun for the first turns not hard to ski at all. the crust down lower was very breakable as well, or just hard enough to not hook a ski. Great morning so happy right now. Link to post Share on other sites
RobBright 35 Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Been looking at the webcams today, bloody hell, looks like most places have had a dusting of snow. Kagura opening on the 23rd with some natural snow actually looks quite feasible. Link to post Share on other sites
