SnowJapan.Com#3 0 Posted May 8, 2004 Share Posted May 8, 2004 A new Backcountry Boardroom feature, "Spring Pow", has been put online. http://www.snowjapan.com/e/features/boardroom-11.html "Any of you remember my Hakuba Now report of April 1st, 2002 that reported 30cms of fresh in the alpine? Well that was a cruel hoax I know, but it was actually close to being true this year as on a backcountry jaunt April 1st this year we were carving lines into 20cms of great spring pow that fell the day before and continued to fall that night in the Hakuba Alpine. No Joke!" http://www.snowjapan.com/e/features/boardroom-11.html Please note that the views expressed in any Features on Snow Japan are not necessarily those of Snow Japan. Discuss it here...
