hutch 0 Posted February 14, 2002 Share Posted February 14, 2002 Cheers eh? I'll try to get out the backcountry article sometime in late March or early April. Maybe something about the Iwaki-san spring summit and backcountry bowls in late April. later Hutch Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted February 15, 2002 Share Posted February 15, 2002 Having read Hutch's article and been consumed with envy, I have conceived the following wish list for Hutch. Hutch gets a rare infection of the inner ear that destroys his sense of balance for good. Hutch's respect for Granpa Hakkoda deepens into love - oddly it is reciprocated, and the scandalized locals drive the oddball couple from their neighbourhood. Hutch misplaces one of his extra-large skiboots in the carpark late one evening and the next day it isn't there. No shops around sell such large boots. Hutch falls hopelessly in love with a blonde third year JET from Nebraska. Hutch gets a rare lactic acid disorder that causes agonizing burning of the thighs and calves just walking up the steps to the gondola. Hutch fails to see a snow monster in a Hakkoda whiteout. The tree beneath the snow monster happens to have a forked branch just at neck height. Hutch is offered a highly paid and challeging position in Tokyo. Hutch finds, around 4 pm, a whole series of glades of sick pow that stretch away into a part of the mountain he's not familiar with. Anybody else got any kind wishes for the b@stard who lives so close to so many goodies (all of them undeserved, I'm sure...)? Good on you mate, good article. I hope to see you there sometime.
