js 0 Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 Very nice pics SB - what type of camera have ya got ... I'm after a waterproof digital but don't wanna pay a ridiculous amount of $$ for it (or a bulky w/p housing). (Previous attempts to photograph Niseko using 35mm cameras have resulted in mixed results because of lighting - digital removes the hit 'n miss.) Link to post Share on other sites
mattlucas 0 Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 The pictures are good. Deep powder is always fun. But I don't remember it being that flat when I was up there. How long have you been up there now? Link to post Share on other sites

mattlucas 0 Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 But I can't really say anything as Ski Beaver is probably skiing today and I am stuck behind a desk with nothing to do for the next 4 hours. And work again tomorrow. Dammit!! I knew I should have taken a half day off. Link to post Share on other sites

Ski Beaver 0 Posted January 27, 2005 Author Share Posted January 27, 2005 Today was over the head - face shots on almost every turn, we were chewing snow on each turn, I needed wind screen wipers on my goggles and today I truly understood the term `pack your snorkel`.

mattlucas 0 Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 Now don't go telling all your friends about this. Niseko is already on it's way to becoming New Australia. Let's keep this a secret. Looks like you are having a good time. To bad you couldn't make your way south to reep the benifits of the largest storm in nearly 2 decades. Link to post Share on other sites
