danz 0 Posted January 30, 2002 Share Posted January 30, 2002 hutch... you've done a damn good job of promoting hakouda...and i am damn near decided to make a trek out there, but it won't be until march... what's the skinny on hakouda in march... and are you a guide out there?? or could you recommend any good ones... thanks... danz ------------------ pray for snow Link to post Share on other sites
hutch 0 Posted January 30, 2002 Share Posted January 30, 2002 Danz Hakkoda..... looks like a feature article I'll be writing on the Hakkoda Ropeway Powder Mecca will be out on Feb 11th. It'll be pretty in-depth. In March I'll be writing one on the backcountry.... about the guide club etc. You are seriously in luck as the Guide Club there rocks. Sooma-san is the head guide....cool guy. All with advanced CAA cert and first aid. A full day (excluding ropeway pass) is only 4000 (including insurance). I'd say March skiing is powder heaven until mid March...then it gets a little bit heavier by the end of the month....but then again I'm a self-admitted powder snob. when are you coming up this way....maybe show you the stashes.

hutch 0 Posted January 30, 2002 Share Posted January 30, 2002 no not a guide. just love the mountain and the powder lifestyle it provides done most of the backcountry routes in the northern Hakkodas.....7 main peaks in the northern range with two mt cabins Link to post Share on other sites
