Not sure why I missed this thread until now... as I watch Thing #2 gearing up to leave on Wednesday. He's going to Hakuba a few days early to get some Japow in. No insight on venues yet.
Thanks for all the props. I know he appreciates it.
I'll be waiving at y'all from the finish corral!
So stoked for this kid. He's a beast.

And I never hear a single word you say when you tell me not to have my fun
It's the same old shit that I ain't gonna take off anyone.
and I never had a shortage of people tryin' to warn me about the dangers I pose to myself.

Word around Happo Village is that it might well go off tomorrow (Tuesday in JP, Monday where you are). Day before yesterday the conditions on the comp face were so bad - absolute boilerplate wind buff, slide for life no fall kinda stuff - FWT had the first ever on-venue inspections for the athletes. Snowed yesterday, more in the forecast over this week.

Missed this before, but only one stop in all of North America and no Alaska even? WTF?

There hasn't been a non-AK North American tour stop for several years. I haven't seen an explanation for why Haines was dropped, but I have to imagine it was logistics-related. That one was really tough to pull off.

(x-post) They sent the male athletes up starting at 5am. I got there around 6. Mile long skin track road into base of venue (athletes got sled-towed) then a 2 hour boot pack to top of venue in deep snow over ice crust. Women were at the base and never got sent up. Men waited at the top after the climb for 3 hours (as we did below) then got sent down due to lack of viz. Pounding snow here and no relief in sight. It will be interesting to see if they get the event off at all considering this storm is supposed to be something of a monster and the window is getting short.
Guys coming down said it was stupid deep but they were still hitting icy bottom.
