Hey 3decks/SB,
Where were those shots taken??.

It's all around Kozi Cornice.

Sounds like you have a plan BR1?

I had a plan to ski Today-Sunday, but I piked as I'm stuffed and judging by the forcast I wasn't overly motivated to drive for 10hrs and ski slop/puss. I have thoughts of how sick the other weekend was but the reality is I'm psyched to climb and Ride. I was going to say the Ramsheads was where the shots were taken so I was kinda close. You heading down or will Niseko be the next place for a slide??

It's all about Niseko right now.

6 of us with 2 others joining at different parts of the trip.

It is going to be unreal - powder beyond belief.

Bring it!

Less that 3 months right now.

you still off to Nelson, WW, Red?

lucky , very lucky - Liked Pow mag article on Aus last isue, and the JHAF article was brilliant.

As is the Intro photo, was sitting on the couch today for about an hour drooling over that shot, major props to Will Wissman for that and also Ryan Creary for his Blackcomb pow explosion. So fricken good!!. The oz article was a little dissappointing , I was hoping for some action , not some marketing dribble put out by Mtn managers. Still the best ski read by a mountain mile, Like " Bike " mag aswell , It has soul!

Yup heading back to Nelson this year, haven't got much sorted but theres heaps of time, TJB's heading to Switzerland/Austria aswell, that will be my next destination after I'm over Whitewater, Pfhh if ever!.

Is Niseko getting pounded yet??

Nice work Ben. That cornice drop must have been decent. And with the snow dusting today it may keep going.

Honestly, I wouldn't have been able to make it last week. You know how after the season and countless highway kilometres a bit of rest comes in handy. I've been in that mode ....

I will be in Switzerland/Austria by the look of it. I'm spending Dec 26 ~ approx Jan 2 in Andermatt, then heading to near Innsbruck for three or so weeks. I'll hope to hit up Kitzbuehl, Alpbach and any other good places I can get to without a car.

Where will you be ? Also, you'll be Eurocarving with a 60/55 front rear stance on a GS race board, with some heinous fluoro clothing, and a headband I gather :-)

TJB

Looks like Ill miss ya.

If it hit up JapPOW w/ the crew Ill be there end of Jan and wont hit Austria till mid Feb.

My normal getup is Eurocarve - I was just trying (unsuccessfully) to fit in w/ the Aussie steez in those photo's
