gone BM and anyone else interested, I tried to find out why the PM wasn't working and got that final reply from the moderator...? I don't get it. And it's not like I was looking for info, I was trying to share some I picked up last season. Have a good season dudes, will see you in Niseko and elsewhere I'm sure.

it's as Japanese as sushi, sake and sumo

Scary man, karoke....love it! If you in Tokyo, get in touch, we can see if we can top the 27 hrs straight that is my current best effort...

Black Diamond Lodge might suit, quality people, nice pub there and then nightly trips for those that are looking for more in Hirafu etc. And they know the area; Rusutsu, Kurodake...spent 2+weeks there last season and will return. The cover shot for the Dec issue of Powder was shot by a kool crew from Sweden that was there over New Years last year.

left at 9:15, when the band was still sorta getting things sorted out on stage

righty-oh!

i'll be at pink cow mate around 8pm, the owner's name is tracy, she'll know where I am

sure or can meet at midori sushi there in ginza...thinking of stopping by...i don't have my mobile with me, it's at home but can certainly be at the pink cow for 7:30-8:00, does that work for you?

i'm up for tonight or tomorrow evening MrSingh, just let me know...unfortunately i left my mobile at home...but if the Pink Cow works for you we can meet there 'round 19:30? If we do tomorrow evening, we get the added benefit of the Half-fast cycling club's monthly get together as well, certain to be good photo presentations etc...

be climbing in ogawayama on Monday, holiday...traffic...probly won't be back til the wee hours of Tuesday morning...will check back here on Tuesday but probably Wed better if I'm up all night driving back in traffic.

early next week? here---> http://www.thepinkcow.com/NewHome_j.htm

ski randonee = skinning and skiing off-piste = skiing not on-piste, patrolled or not excellent! when and where? beers after work somewhere to discuss?

will take you up on that. at the moment, trying to get a second-hand subaru outback bought to be able to get there in prime conditions. cheers!

I'm interested in getting together with back-country enthusiasts to enjoy drink, fondue, raclette and getting something going on a regular basis for weekend trips during the season.

never done the narita-haneda leg of the journey but according to colleagues that have, the bus can be a nightmare due to traffic; but yes, it can be 30 mins faster
