brodie 0 Posted March 2, 2002 Share Posted March 2, 2002 Hey, I am very keen to go snowboarding down Mt Fuji this year (after an exhilerating climb up first). My snowboard friends have piked on me - they seem to think it's too dangerous... Anyone keen to give it a go? Anyone already done it and care to give comments? Brodie.

Guest Posted March 3, 2002 Share Posted March 3, 2002 How do you intend to do this mate? I think there was something on this on the site last year. Hold on a sec. http://www.skijapanguide.com/2002/features/general-15.html I might be interested if I know a bit more. MAtt Link to post Share on other sites
brodie 0 Posted March 4, 2002 Author Share Posted March 4, 2002 Hmm, Maybe I'm being a bit simplistic, but it seems to me like a case of walking up and sliding down. There would be a few photos in both directions, copious amounts of chocolote and a beer at the end... ;-) I'm just starting to think about the full planning now, like where (ie which side, which track, etc), when, and what gear is required. Obviously a decent backpack to get the board up and non-snowboarding related equipment down, snowshoes/crampons, decent boots and hiking equipment, adequate clothing, etc. To be official, there is also a matter of getting police approval of the hike if out of main hiking season, this consists of them examining equipment, etc. I don't think the snowboards would be part of the exhibited equipment tho... That's just early thoughts, a bit more thinking/planning about it yet before I can put it into practice... Brodie. Link to post Share on other sites
