      Japow Anyone?

      Hey everyone this is my first post but I have been lurking for some time. I will get right to it, a friend and I were all pumped on going to Japan this year. He has since backed out and with what seems to be a drought year for the West, Jaaaapow is setting records this year!

      Anyone want to go for 2-4 weeks? (Tour and resort)

      I'm super easy going and can ski pretty much anything… I'm 28 and located in the Calgary area. If this interests you drop me a line so we can go ski some lines.
