Chriselle 158 Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Just saw on the news they found two people in the back country at a ski-jo in Gifu. An American fellow and his Japanese lady friend. Link to post Share on other sites

norcal 5 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 I was at Kagura today, there were two helicopters flying around nearby mountains most of the day. Wondered what they might be doing, now I know. If they were looking last night and all day/afternoon today, that can't be good. Link to post Share on other sites

Metabo Oyaji 71 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Hands up who rides with one of these? Not me, but I keep on-piste. Looks like a good, light addition to the backpack, though. Link to post Share on other sites
Kansaiash 6 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Anyone know where the two people in Gifu were riding? Link to post Share on other sites

Chriselle 158 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Yes...I think that was it!! Link to post Share on other sites
634-maru 4 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 What is 'Hida'? Is it an area/region or a mountain? There seem to be a few skijo with Hida in their name. Link to post Share on other sites
Kansaiash 6 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I think Hida is a mountain range/region. There are multiple skijos in that area. Link to post Share on other sites
Chriselle 158 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I don't think they mentioned the ski-jo. My wife remembers hearing "Hida" as well... Link to post Share on other sites
SerreChe 2 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 They found him btw Link to post Share on other sites
Metabo Oyaji 71 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Hida is the northernmost part of Gifu, on the border with Toyama. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Another area for the list. Some places in Gifu really appeal to me, I really must get over there. Wish I could stop saying that about places and actually go!! Link to post Share on other sites
Thundercat 60 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 They found him btw Great news! Link to post Share on other sites
SerreChe 2 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Yes, very happy about that. Was weakened (not surprising) and some frostbites on hands but made it out alive. Really great to hear some good news once in a while. Link to post Share on other sites
