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.... I love topo maps... http://www.snowjapan.com/e/features/interviews-toque.html Please note that the views expressed in any Features on SnowJapan are not necessarily those of SnowJapan. Discuss it here...

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. (I should add that in the winter, they will pull his provision sleds around the mountains and test the snow pack.)
Well you can't expect me to risk my life They're only midgets  Originally posted by @tokyo: Whatever he will be doing, he needs to have at least 6 hours a day to be logged in here

I didn't know you were taking FT with you, and I thought you considered him to be a friend! :p
