    Yelling at "professional" ski guides or instructors doing something stupid or wrong, usually blocking a traverse/goat track/gate (I don't target tourists).

    I think you'll fit in just fine here.


    Thinking of a 10 day trip with my wife in early January if you want to rip around a bit. Things are still a bit up in he air but it would be nice to hook up with a local when we're there.

    Hey dude, I'm planning a Japan solo 2-3 week trip end of January. My stats are similar to yours. Except my jacket is dark green... Will that be an issue?

    im like traffic light green, so we shouldn't clash. as long as your bag matches your boots it should be ok.
