I wanted to throw this up so we can share pix. I don't have any but a few of you were taking shots all day. I know some people were talking about keeping in touch for sharing cost, riding together. So if you want to throw up a post so people can PM you and connect handles with faces.

Just got back from Haks. I took quite a few shots.
I'll try to post them tonight.

Was good to meet Oke, King, + the others whose handles I cannot remember (Gomen).

Yes, I finally did! After 20+ years of hitting the stashes, it was about time. The instructor did say it was the European way of doing things: Emphasize experience, then if you are still alive after many years, take a course to see what you have been doing wrong. ;-)

Actually not so lucky...
Yellow sands from the Gobi + high temps = like riding cement before it sets... Thick & heavy & unpleasant molasse.

I would not call it scare tactics. It's a pretty sobering film

Ok, I uploaded a bunch of pics here:

http://www.snowjapan.com/e/insider/photo_section.php?userid=SerreChe&userGallery=196

Feel free to link any into this thread and comment them.

Things you'll be able to see:
Kamoshika, lazy tracks off the north side of Happo, our hike near Hyodorimine, Norikuradake, Korengesan, + other peaks, People digging pits, people searching & digging during their avalanche simulation, massive east-facing slide off karamatsudake, etc...

Enjoy.

Dave the guide and designated trail breaker

Lines on north face of Happo that I had to look at all day. thanks guys, you know who you are

More of the same

But it was a nice day for a hike

Looks tasty down there

Cut this cornice 3 times but it just wouldn't drop.

Our only pow turns for the day

Dave spitting snowpack knowledge, really good part of the course.

Roustch block 6 = good stability

Multiburial Scenareo #1

We found him he's alive

Probe line for gaper who wasn't wearing a beacon


Great pix SerreChe.
