seemore 66 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Time to start the thread for my 2013 trip It's not looking good to start of with sunny days which will be great for photos but not the deep stuff I am hanging out for. Boards (160 Hovercraft and 156 Fish) are waxed and packed wife and kids are back from Kalbarri tommorow. Deals are done and paperwork is nearly completed 2 more days of chit chat and the journey begins. 21st 1:35pm Perth to Sydney then overnight to Toyko , 22nd 11am flight to Sapporo (lets hope the airport is white) then should land at the hotel around 3pm. Fingers crossed a few runs through Giant trees to tune in board and bindings then cruisy nighta. Dancing and Praying for amended forecast. Seemore Link to post Share on other sites

Mike Pow 52 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Hope the snow arrives. It's been in the middle of the doughnut the past couple of days. Link to post Share on other sites
seemore 66 Posted January 18, 2013 Author Share Posted January 18, 2013 Muika Compared to Niseko it is pretty lame but I am just a poor man with poor taste. If it gets more than a smattering of snow I will be lucky I willl hope to post a few average photos during my trip Link to post Share on other sites

HelperElfMissy 42 Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Yup. All day today...perfect powstick. His mate is on a different style Gentem, other one on hired powder ski's. But he might take his new Rabbit on the Roof wooden plank, so could be either. Link to post Share on other sites
