So how did the weekend go for everybody?

I headed out to Hakuba early early friday morning and arrived to find no new snow. After lazing around at FT's place we foudn out Cortina got a ton of fresh so we headed out there and were on the slopes by 11. The snow was deep and dry. They said 30 fresh but in the trees it seemed to be more like 40-50. We were getting face shots and fresh lines. Patrol was out in force but after catching the group 2 times we were only given warnings. I was always able to ski away so was never caught directly.

Saturday we went to Tsugaike. It was so busy. We spent over an hour just trying to get to the top of the mountain. Had to take like 5 chairs all with long lineups. But finally made it into the trees and found nice powder there as well on the north faces. To avoid the lines we usually skied right to the bottom and then just ducked into the front of the gondola line \:D

That night I had to go home so drove north to avoide the crowds and ended up in Niigata but I made it home in just over 4 hours.

I decided to head to my local bar to get some drinks and ended up scoring with this hot OL

A really good weekend. Deep dry powder and sex
It does not get better than that.

Niigata, will write it up soon.

Toque, congratulations. (First time?)
Some people believe football is a matter of life and death. It is much, much more serious than that

Had possibly the best day of riding i've ever had, this weekend.

Got out with a good crew and discovered the south face of Goryu/47. Gigantic open face with powder from the summit to base. Terrain had everything from ridges and bowls, to drops and tree runs. Felt like it was straight out of a snowboarding video. We had the whole face to ourselves so there was nothing but fresh lines the entire day... it was perfect.

I've ridden niseko a few times, and this blew anything i've ridden at niseko away. I'm just afraid that everything for the rest of this season will be downhill compared to this weekend.

It was actually a great drive. It was really busy getting out of Hakuba so I just turned left instead of right. Was 4 hours of fast driving instead of 4 hours of stop and go. It would be beautiful in the day.

I've had a few other encounters with the Japanese ladies but I'm not the playboy that my students call me

I bet that the Takasu area was really busy.
The Hakuba hills were crazy crowded.

yeah toque, when me and oufreeski2 were leaving Sun morning you couldnt even see the snow, just little ants moving across it. Glad we left early.

Any peeps here get stuck in traffic Sun heading back home? How bad was it?

You guys left in the morning?

That is why I went north instead of south. It took me 30 minutes just to get to the Lawsons from Fattwins's place.

was good company (no pun intended) and it was a good thing they R beginners b/c the park is right next 2 the green slopes @ maiko, and they kept putting up with me hitting the park every run. non-stop snow while i was there!!

made the drive back saturday nite after dinner and an onsen, left @ 10p and was back home @ 12:30. there weren't fifty-twelve billion people on the road then. excellent days 12 and 13 for me. another 7 or so and i'll be satisified. so will my wallet

OL = old lady perhaps? get your grey wings perhaps, Toque?

My long weekend was grounded my better half was at her cousins wedding (who gets married in winter I ask you!) which meant I was at home with the boy who was a bit under the weather and was testing me with temper tantrums....
Cant wait till he gets a bit older and I can take him up the slopes with me.

Happo on Sunday wasn't so crowded, Yama and Toque.
I was looking at Phat Luv skiing down slope far side of the hill with Fattwin's group. They were so cool! I wanted to see Yama and Toque skiing down that slope, too. You probably looked very cool!
She didn't like hiking, though... ;\)

I wish I could have skied Sunday as well. I really want to learn the Happo BC runs. It looks like really nice terrain. But I had to go home to save some cash for a new car.
