Nice work guys.

Heard it was snowing in Nagoya so I was wondering what was up in Hakuba.

**jsw630** · 12-20-2009, 12:02 PM

Holy frozen sushi Batman!!!

Any Hakuba mags need a hand running their lodge this winter?

**neck beard** · 12-20-2009, 08:42 PM

I heard someone had a 3 hour wade through chest deep powder because he, um, forgot to take his skins before hitting some slackcountry and couldn't ski the flat exit... and didn’t know to use duck tape to attach fir tree branches to his bases.

**Loon** · 12-21-2009, 01:17 AM

Haha, bottomless flat runout. That must have been an exhausting. Looks like a good start to the season in Hakuba.

**fattwins** · 12-21-2009, 01:54 AM

LOL Hohes it wasnt 3 hrs it was 1 hour to the dot! 12:21 start traversing and 1:21 out. Had no duck tape to attach to anything. That 300 meters was pretty much hell but.... All that work paid for itself the very next day!
PS I knew iwas in for hell! It just figured it would be 30 to 40 minutes.
Great that Mick had just finished his driveway for the 2nd or 3rd time too, cause I got an I owe you beer!

What is your cm tally on the storm hohes?

Some more pics

Soft landings are good

slash

better turns ahead

The lodge with snow

notice the chair in the back

Lucky us the patrol silently opened sakka and it was all ours for 2 hours!
Thanks boys!

Because it was so deep you really tried to avoid over turning. This guy
came in hot and was able to keep on flying!

**Shadam** · 12-21-2009, 05:26 AM

very few people on the chair lift ???

**ISL** · 12-21-2009, 06:02 AM

Mighty mighty fine!

**Ville** · 12-21-2009, 06:31 AM

Damn it's hard to find motivation for last 10 days of work. I want to be there, not frying those damn burgers

**fattwins** · 12-21-2009, 07:15 AM

WE had the area near that quad called Sakka mostly to ourselves for about 2 hours.

**arild** · 12-21-2009, 07:31 AM

Holy jeebus. Looks very, very, very.. nice. Ville, I´m pretty jealous. I think you should get so drunk you miss pow the day after just out of fairness. Is that ok with you?

**StuntCok** · 12-21-2009, 07:50 AM

It was a good couple of days, I must say, but FT are you not holding on to a few of the shots from the day?

No drinking for me, too hc-parties this weekend. Got my degree from school on Friday, in the evening there was good rap gig at one nightclub. Lots of beer and other stuff were consumed. After the gig, we had home party at my friends place. Woke up there saturday, the parties just continued, you know the normal finnish stuff, lots of booze and naked people dancing around and of course Sauna. At saturday night I found myself in same parties with dude from Dead Kennedys(don't remember what he was doing at Rovaniemi) and then back to friends place for party after clubs closed. I still feel bit hangover.

So sorry, no deal on pre-powder day drunkness

Wet dream? No, white dream.

**satori** · 12-21-2009, 05:16 PM

Happo was basically empty on Fri all day. I only skied it from around 1pm on, but it was a ghost town - nobody on the slopes all day. Sat/Sun it was busier, but nothing to worry about cuz its such a big mountain and plenty of freshies to be had. I couldnt believe the trees opened in just 2 days days. SICK!!!
