I have to say that scrambling into that little line was the happiest I was on the entire trip. That was really great adventure for me Link to post Share on other sites

Fattwins 0 Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Toque you did blow it a bit on that last run but we made it out ok. If we had weaker people climbing wise it would not have been fun. Link to post Share on other sites
mattlucas 0 Posted May 9, 2006 Author Share Posted May 9, 2006 That's the way things go though In a normal snow year the only problem would have been getting around the waterfall But then in a normal snow year we would have had to walk for over an hour to get to the bus station I'm going to dig out a picture and show you why I like that line so much Link to post Share on other sites
mattlucas 0 Posted May 9, 2006 Author Share Posted May 9, 2006 From across the valley on Kasagatake back in November And on a clear day from work I can look up at it Kind of like FT and all the lines that he gets to stare at all day long now Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 I dont know if I could handle lookin at big lines all day. Id be ducking outta school way to early way to often... Loved the pics. Link to post Share on other sites

Fattwins 0 Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 yeah its sick but it was also scary in that monster. I might do it again sometime but im going as light as i think that i can. im buying one of the fine track tents soon so i should be able to knock the weight down. Link to post Share on other sites
mattlucas 0 Posted May 9, 2006 Author Share Posted May 9, 2006 That's the lightweight survival gear right? I'd knock gear weight off of other areas first dude. You need a good strong tent for when the weather doesn't work out. I'd get lighter boots and skis and knock a bit of stuff out of your bag Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 boots are coming. skis ill have to wait and see. i would take out my soft shell pants and my fleece vest and maybe a pair of gloves. other than that i used everything apart from my avie kit pack. Link to post Share on other sites
daver 0 Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 holy s@#t guys that last line looks so epic. wow. toque you look at that every day!?!?! damn you. congradulations on another great trip. Link to post Share on other sites
mattlucas 0 Posted May 10, 2006 Author Share Posted May 10, 2006 Thanks Daver You ever going to get down to the North Alps to experience any of it? It's a good view but the people on here living in Hakuba have a much better view of their side of the North Alps They just can't see the mountains that we skied over Golden Week Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 its a nice line i figure the avie started off to the right of in that steep bowl and then the sheer sound and power might have released the left steep bowl. that could be how it got force. heck that is just a theroy. Daver where are you again? I might save that line untill toque comes back in a few years with his kids. toque sking the steeper of the 2 lines that he wanted Link to post Share on other sites
mattlucas 0 Posted May 10, 2006 Author Share Posted May 10, 2006 Anymore yet to come FT? I like those ones Link to post Share on other sites
daver 0 Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 i'm up in yamagata. actually kinda far from hakuba area. the fastest way down there is by shinkansen to nagano and then the bus. and that takes in total over five hours. and many yen. i was initially planning to head to that area for the spring break this year, but i opted out and spent the month of march in thailand instead. these are the choices one must make. once again, nice job! you guys have certainly made the most of this season.

Fattwins 0 Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 im sure yamagata has some nice places to tour into though. its not like you are stuck in hiroshima the mecca of sking that it is.lol there must be stuff around zao no? Link to post Share on other sites
