SnowJapan.Com#3 0 Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 A new feature has been put online. This time we had a talk with popular Forum member Toque about his experiences on the snow and more... http://www.snowjapan.com/e/features/interviews-toque.html "I was born July 1979 in the beautiful town of Chilliwack, British Columbia. That’s in Canada if you didn’t know. My father introduced me to the mountains at an early age with backpacking and ski trips a regular occurrence. I skied and hiked fairly often right from the age of six. Chilliwack is about 100km east of Vancouver right up against some big mountains - to the south, Chilliwack has the North Cascades and to the north, the Coast Mountains. It’s a great location for somebody that enjoys outdoor life. After high school it was off to University where I studied Geography at a small local school. They only offered an arts degree in my discipline but I was able to study the physical aspects which keep me entertained. I often spent my time in the Geography lab looking over the topographic maps planning trips for the future....

sava 0 Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 My understanding is that he will be organising a midget circus troupe. Naturally he will be living in the top bunk while the midgets live below. Link to post Share on other sites
sava 0 Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 (I should add that in the winter, they will pull his provision sleds around the mountains and test the snow pack.) Link to post Share on other sites
