Wed~7~Feb 2024	NA must be proficien	EOI Japan skiing	Private trip EOI	Are you interested in skiing Japan in 2024? I am posting a call for expressions of interest in a privately organised Japan ski trip in northern winter 2024. Best regards Keith Tarlo I am proposing to privately book backcountry guides from a reputable company like WhiteRoom or Journey into Japan. By booking privately, we can use an existing itinerary, or book private guides for some days only and adapt trips to the group’s interests, skills and budget, for example see ‘Custom packages’ on the WhiteRoom website (https://www.whiteroomtours.com/japan-ski-snowboard-guiding/custom-packages/) You would have to be reasonably proficient at skiing downhill including in powder and among trees (in my case inelegantly), but I am not aiming at the highly advanced level that some commercial trips call for. Where: I have a preference for Hokkaido where most guiding operators are based. When: About a week in February. I prefer mid to late February. Group size: need a minimum of about 4 to make it financially viable to book guides privately. Cost: depends on what we do, when we go and where we stay!
Sat~10~Feb 2024	1A	Grand Canyon at Night		Trip to celebrate the leader's birthday. Following restaurant meal at Katoomba, the party will proceed to the carpark on Evans L.O. Rd. Short walk to enter the canyon by one easy abseil. The floor of the canyon will be followed to where it opens out just below Evans Lookout. One compulsory swim, about 30m, Billions of gloworms. Some footwork required on wet rocks, but an excellent canyon for beginners. About 3-4 hours.
