This balmy weather doesn't bode well for boarding through the bush...

So then Andy needs to book as well.

Ummm, no idea where the place is. Anyone?

danz · Post by **danz** » Thu Feb 19, 2004 8:55 pm

the place is not far from snodecks....the lady I spoke to said they would pick us up from the mountain (I told her we were riding naeba), so if that is the case we dont need to know where it is...

where is Mr*??? I have been trying to get a hold of him...does he still want me to print passes or is he taking care of it?? he has 1hr before I leave here....

dunno if that will have any effect....

nekobi · Post by **nekobi** » Thu Feb 19, 2004 11:46 pm

and heres a website for santa house...

Looks like we're getting a good deal if the normal price is around 6500.

I think Kagura is lookin better. Naeba might be a bit crowded with the MWC action goin on.

danz · Post by **danz** » Fri Feb 20, 2004 3:06 am

crowds at naeba have 0 effect on where we would be riding (except maybe the line at the gondola...but it moves pretty quick)....actually, all that attention with the mogul world cup will keep the ski patrol plenty busy and out of our hair....

mr*...can kagura passes be printed at kinkos??
whats the word on am meeting time??

This 'printing of passes' - are you talking counterfeiting?

Post by **enderzero** » Fri Feb 20, 2004 5:42 am

That would be wrong. Just like duckin ropes is wrong.

Not dissimilar to downloading music and other such wrong things.

Ocean11 · Post by **Ocean11** » Fri Feb 20, 2004 4:26 pm

So, just like with those other wrong things, it's only the fear of getting caught that might prevent you.

You must be shittin' yoselves

So, how was the trip then? I was in bed sick all weekend, working from home

People who counterfeit lift passes may spend all eternity being kissed by the lovely millipede girl.

I reckon you had a lucky escape there G-mon

Post by **enderzero** » Sun Feb 22, 2004 10:21 pm

The trip was a whole lot of fun. The sun was shining the whole time and it was way to warm to be wearing very much. Total spring like conditions. Day one was Jaime, Dan, Kat, Brian and me at Naeba just foolin around. Then that evening Damian and Nigel showed up for a good time hangin out at Snodeck. The morning brought a bit of wrestling in our cool Santa House rooms and then out on to the next door slopes of Asagai, which is just a big park not unlike Yanaba in Nagano. Had a great time playin on the jumps for most of the day.

Here's what I have in the way of pics:

Dan, db, Brian, Kat, Nigel, Jaime, & me at Asagai

View from Naeba - [ 2 ]

Brian mid air - Riding Out

Asagai - [ 2 ] [ 3 ] [ 4 ]

jus' foolin around - [ 2 ] [ 3 ] [ 4 ] [ 5 ] [ 6 ] [ 7 ] [ 8 ] [ 9 ] [ 10 ]

Danz "the freestyle manz" jumpin: [ 1 ] [ 2 ]

Good times for sure. Thanks to everyone that made it and to everyone I have had the opportunity to ride with in Japan!

Great pics dude.... how bout those vids db??

too bad we didnt have any coverage of the mini wrestlemania.

and... Riding with this crew has definitely been the best season and a half that I've ever had. We'll have to meet up again in some other part of the world next time.

Goemon · Post by **Goemon** » Mon Feb 23, 2004 12:59 am

Nice pics; looks positively Aprilish there. Sorry I couldn't make it; I was secretly hoping it was raining on yo asses

(re: the millipede frenching lovely - Have you seen her video though? Awful J-pop of the lowest common denominator stylee.

)

jkduval · Post by **jkduval** » Mon Feb 23, 2004 10:48 pm

what's up to ryland, dan z, brian the yank and the rest of the tokyo crew. nice pics from the wekend, although a few too many of dan z in various states of undress.

conditions up here in hirafu continue to waver: rain two days ago than a violent blizzard. not sure i picked the best season to come up here so looks like i'll have to do it again next year.

looks like i'll be in tokyo some time around the beginning of april so get the couches ready...

danz · Post by **danz** » Mon Feb 23, 2004 11:54 pm

ender...

I love that pic of brian "riding it out"....can I grab thos pics from you (full res??)...

jkduval...you dont like my lumberjack look??

goemen...all is not lost, unless you say you cant ride next weekend or the weekend after that....than you get a big WEAK for the season...

great weekend all! last 2 seasons were tons of fun....I hope I can find riding mates that are half as fun as you guys in sea-town

mr*...I will be on your ass all week for arai...dont back down on me!
