scouser 4 Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 It must be pretty wild out there with the crazy snow we seem to be getting. This weekend should be boss. Link to post Share on other sites
mattlucas 0 Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 My friend Matt is out skiing right now. He said yesturday was the best day of his season. And the best since an amazing day last January. He is using my Fat skis. I am not going to be in a good mood when he comes back to my place to tonight raving about how amazing it was. But I will get out in Saturday. I'll let the snow settle a bit. Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 Just think after he finishes his japanese classes and tries to get that rela job... He will ski 1 week a year for life. You gots it covered man Link to post Share on other sites
mattlucas 0 Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 That's what I always tell him. For somebody who loves skiing so much it seems odd to want a career where you can't get out that much. Link to post Share on other sites

woywoy 0 Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 OK ... "r e a l" job. I get it. What sort of job does this Matt want? Link to post Share on other sites
mattlucas 0 Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 He wants to do foreign service shit based out of Washington DC or something like that. For some reason he feels he can make a difference. Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 Make a differnce by teaching people how to ski maybe..... considering he has no say in foreign poilicy cause he will have to do as he is told. I hope he doesnt feel too bad when I ski deep pow and he is telling someone to can it, and trade with the us. Link to post Share on other sites
NoFakie 45 Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 I think all the "make a difference" people in Washington have been eased out in favour of yes men like Gonzalez. Nice of the USA to appoint a torturer on the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz (by the Soviet Union). Back on the subject, I got out for a few runs yesterday and today. Nothing we've not seen before in Hakuba, but epic all the same. It's still coming down lightly and the wind was whipping up towards the end, so we should see some redistribution. Steep wide slope + waist-deep untouched + crap telemarker with midfats = Link to post Share on other sites

Nah, I have been taking the telemark turn to a new low in elegance . They'll be no-one waxing lyrical about the gracefulness of my style. Damned good fun in the fresh and deep though, even if it is turn, turn, turn, eat snow, turn, wobble, do splits, eat snow. It looks like on/off snow to the weekend, so I might make it out for a change Fatty. Link to post Share on other sites
mattlucas 0 Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 My friend was out yesturday. He said it was crazy deep. He found a Japanese skier who had fallen down the hill on his back with his skis up the hill above him. Snow had covered his body and face and all that was sticking out was his boots and skis. He had to dig around and clear his face of snow. Scary shit. Link to post Share on other sites

SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan#Andrew 6 Posted February 4, 2005 SnowJapan Admin Share Posted February 4, 2005 I've never known as much snow in Yuzawa as there is now, it just won't stop. There's 4 meters of snow opposite my house at the moment. There's hardly anyone out there on the slopes at the moment too so if it does clear up just a bit for the weekend it's going to be just perfect out there. Link to post Share on other sites

crazyski 0 Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 heheheh, toque-boy. lame, eh? ...um...well...i don't really have much to combat that with. any skier that voluntarily lives a thousand miles from decent mountains must be lame. what was i thinking? Link to post Share on other sites
tsondaboy 0 Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 Just came back from Gala Yuzawa, it was snowing hard all day. Sooooooooo much powder, even on the groomers!
