The jump was perfect in December, but melted away a few days later... Time to shape it up again...
Been wondering about that jump for some time... I haven't heard you talk about any trips to the hospital so I figure it must be safe ;)

Nope - those are just regular manuals. Going on Fischer E89 (too narrow for the magnum) - boots will be the NNN Alaska of course. I'll write a review as soon as I get them and get to skiing on them :P

CIMA - I've been meaning to ask you about your landscape in Japan where you ski. Do the trees grow natural like that or has it been opened up?

I'm pretty sure I used to ski there... I wouldn't call it the snow capital though...

That's a typical scenery of the ridge lines of our mountains with altitude ranging between 900m - 1800m (2952ft - 5577ft).
On the contrary to the North America, we have very few flat areas in Japan.
That's a part of the reasons why I'm engaging in xcD more actively than XCd. :-)

Glittertind on the groomed... Some say it ain't skiable... No way Jose! Will mount mine with risers because I tend to skid when the 3 pin binding sides hit the slope...

I have one with SNS setting.
I'm going to ski on it for xcD on consolidated snow in forthcoming spring. :-)
