AK 77 0 Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 OK. By the way, anyone in Hakuba seen my beige corduroy cap (i-path brand with red circular logo on front, and a silver pin in the side of a boy with a bird on his head - a local sculpture). FT seen it at yours? The day i came and painted maybe? I think i may have lost it at Snowbeds or Masta Brasta that weekend... (the 25th/26th November...) I hate losing hats. There could be a reward if found! (beer!) Link to post Share on other sites

Fattwins 0 Posted December 18, 2006 Author Share Posted December 18, 2006 Ignore me you have to keep up first before you can ignore me. Finally snow about half a foot or more lower down maybe a foot or more higher up. lots of wind today and that wind will fill in the pockets. Link to post Share on other sites

AK 77 0 Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 No. Weekend report: Sat: Perfect packed powder on piste for carving on the top half OF What is open (ie. one run), and hard packed on bottom half of what is open. Both fun. The odd rock or dirt patch poking through on a cat track and holes around the edges of cat tracks to fall into / ollie over. Sun: light small flake snow in the air - packing down into that marbly hard shiny snow that is easy to catch an edge on, on the lower run, and heavy snow on the upper run. Both days fun. In an early season training kind of way, but injuries waiting to happen for beginners and the over confident. Hope it softens up for next weekend. I took out new 153 twin and had some fun. Should be fun in the powder too. Link to post Share on other sites
Oyuki kigan 0 Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 If by fun you mean digging you and your 153 out of the snow everytime you submarine every 5 meters, then i forsee you having A LOT of fun. I hope to be using my fish next weekend in Noz. Link to post Share on other sites
AK 77 0 Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 We'll see. The nose and tail are both about as long as the tail on my set back stance Sansalone, so if that works switch in powder then this is easier - short nose doesn't matter so much as long as your moving reasonably fast - it's out, and short tail sinks no probs. The shorty felt fine slashing through the choppy powder (20cm - 30cm only) patches between bushes yesterday. I accept it won't be my first choice for waist deep, due to the difficulty of getting moving again when stopped, but it would work when moving.. All 'big mountain powder riders' should spend a day on a 154 twin in the powder, preferably all in the same place on the same day, and see who still rips That would be fun. And you'd appreciate your big gun when you got back on it! Link to post Share on other sites
