barok 0 Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 This was the highlight of my trip to Breckenridge. Well this and visiting Zwelgen. The rails over here are getting big (Yeah, I made it off!!). But I do actually miss that powder. Season is over here in the US. There are a few more runs to be scratched out by die-hard locals, but if I was in Japan, I'd still have 2 more months. Killin' me. Link to post Share on other sites

OUfreeski2 0 Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 Yo, Barok, thats` one SIC rail! Link to post Share on other sites
CheeseRipper 0 Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 Barok! What's up fello cheesehead? I'm from LaCrosse. Where did you ski in Japan? I mostly ski Hakkoda and the nearby areas around Misawa. Hopefully I'll be able to do a lot of spring skiing. Link to post Share on other sites
barok 0 Posted March 31, 2004 Author Share Posted March 31, 2004 LaCrosse, eh cheeseRipper - maybe you know the Pirnstills?, I mostly rode at Hakuba 47/Goryu, and Nozawa. That rail looks nice and horizontally long in the picture, but when you are approaching it, it just looks like you are about to ride straight up a wall. Damn thing kicked me off the top every time I got halfway - tough to switch all of that momentum half-way. Link to post Share on other sites
OUfreeski2 0 Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 I rode one of those rainbow rails. But heaps smaller at Takasu. The video should be up once Nick finds sum software to run it. Link to post Share on other sites

Tons of skiing still to be had in some great conditions. I just checked a few of the mts in Oregon and they have more snow right now than most mts over here maxed out at this season. The season is definately not over in the US. I'll trade ya places Link to post Share on other sites
mattlucas 0 Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 Season is going strong in BC. I just skiied Kicking Horse and it was amazing. Steepest terrain I have seen. And so many chutes. I was in heaven. Snow was dry up top and then super slush down low. So you got all the conditions every run as you had to ski out the full 1200 metres. Link to post Share on other sites
giggsy 0 Posted April 5, 2004 Share Posted April 5, 2004 Freeky, wouldn't like to fall from that one. Link to post Share on other sites
Will Lee 0 Posted April 17, 2004 Share Posted April 17, 2004 Damn, that's one big mutha! I think I've only been able to clear rails 1/3? 1/4? of that. Hey Barok where do you go riding up in Wis? Here in Southern Cali you've got two choices...icy or slushy. But screw all that I'm heading up to Mammoth in less than 12 hours! Link to post Share on other sites

zwelgen 0 Posted April 17, 2004 Share Posted April 17, 2004 Yes thank me for that brilliant photo. It would have been a lot better if Id got him coming down the other side too but ah well. More practice needed from me i think. Yeah that rail was siiick. I couldnt believe it when Barok first attempted it. That guy has balls of steel for sure. The park at Breck was huge for sure, but the pipe. Oh the pipe. Thats where it was at. Was def cool riding with Barok. I miss riding with you fellas. Maybe next season. Im going to Canada and this time with sister in tow - trouble makers for sure. Any suggestions for a good place to ride? Not one of the big comercial ones though. Thinking SE of BC, round Fernie/Big White area Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted April 17, 2004 Share Posted April 17, 2004 hey where are you know? I would try fernie or castle if your really into seeing Canada on the dirt hit whitewater oh the powder. Good the tms worked out. I injuryed myself and thus sunted a bit of my spring goals. got the fs 3 and 5 in the pipe plus finally got on them rails. Link to post Share on other sites
