That looks awesome, Russ. I'm living in Calgary now. Once i've settled in and all that i'll be heading to the mountains as much as i can. Still another 2.5 months of the season left here for some of the mountains!

What is the backpack for Matt?

Make sure you put some pics and vids up Marty!

[LIST=1][/LIST][QUOTE=XT43;743379]So much fun! Was that guy a mate of yours or just a random?[/QUOTE]

He was a bloke I met at the place I was staying. Was keen to head out with people who can really board after the morning of green runs teaching Caitlyn. She picked it up so well in the end though and can't wait to get back there!

Great video edit RUSSGT!

That guy was so lucky who went in the hole that people where around.

This is from Nozawa Onsen this year (not as good as edit as RUSSGT's) :)

[QUOTE=RUSSGT;743528]What is the backpack for Matt?[/QUOTE]

I use it for carrying shit, wallet, phone, camera, water snacks etc during the day, prefer that to having them in my pockets. also a bit more back protection or if you come across some sweet merch at another resort. Had a bit of a taste this year, this next season hopefully I'll be doing some proper backcountry stuff and will need a bigger pack for the avalanche gear

So I'm assuming the pouch was a manbag ?

When where you in Noz Raz? We where there to! Thats where the hole was.

Yep man pouch for money. I didnt take a wallet or phone. Felt like such a tourist with it on but i swear by it now. Loved that puppy...

Next season ill be taking a walkie talkie, whistle, and small torch.

First week of Feb I think it was. We did Hakuba and Nozawa for the first time this trip. Didn't get a great week of snow in Hakuba, but had some nice days in Nozawa. Was pretty impressed with the tree runs around those top 2 lifts. Would do Nozawa again.

Where abouts at Nozawa was that hole?

Off skyline to the right.

Yep i cant wiat to get back there. The village is awesome.
