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. -

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. -

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... -

Black Diamond, yours is the voice of reason. I put on my Pulse, packed my shovel and probe everyday I was in Niseko last season.
