Never went to the MTV Jam in NZ, I was staying there in Terrace Downs when they came and had to go find a room else where coz they booked the whole place out. I been to the one in Australia and I duno bout gangsters, seemed pretty casual like Japan. Must have been a NZ thing..? -

Rain, Rain Go Away!!

PP, Yeah Ive always wanted to ride one of those boards, no doubt I will if we have a pow day. does anyone know where to buy these online? Good ones at that.. Might get one next NZ heli trip. TB, I'll add that to the very very, small list of things i dont like about Japan... the other thing on that list is when they crank up the speakers beyond recognition through distortion on the ski lifts, so both japanese and english transmissions are inaudible. this doesnt happen everywhere mind you but cant think of anywhere else that utilize their PA system so much. -

Ok so I guess I copped it after that post but I`m a board rider who has their own board and 'never' had to ask about rentals for either board or ski so how would I know that's the norm in Japan or anywhere.. Oh and if it is that's just crap! This is my second trip to Japan TB. PP, I couldn't care less what girl does if we had a powder day I'm gone.. I know what your saying bout the rental place, I never had a go at the kids there, just thinking to myself how unbelievable. Someones offering to pay you money and you turn them away, great business practice that. Chriselle, I though -

Snow expected tonight and tomorrow it says moderate so hopefully..? fingers crossed!! Its hard when your GF is just starting and you spend half your day or more on the beginner slopes.. Wish I could have had one of those couples trips where the boys could head off and have fun on the slopes and leave the girls to hang out and read mags if they get tired of trying... oh well. Anyway, if anyone in Niseko is in the same situation let me know maybe we can go ride and the Girls can hang out.. Word of advice though stay away from the ski school at the bottom of the family run in Hirafu, th -

I did get that BM, but I`m not gonna go there.. Uncle steves sounds like it woulda been betta than where we went tonight, should waited a bit longer to get some replies instead of rushing off to 'Hie', great Wagyu but very small servings. -
Well I have had probably the best steak ever at the side hill in Hakuba the other night.. who has a suggestion for tonight??

I had some bad timing with the weather for my stay in Hakuba but, the time I did spend here was fun and the place is very beautiful and definitely worth comming to again. It doesn't matter where you go unless you book your trip a few days before at the latest, your gonna be taking a gamble with the weather. I booked this trip just over week before I came copped rain and warm weather. Had a great view of the fireworks at Happo last night from my hotel room, the full moon and clear skies lit up the mountain, pretty spectacular! Looking forward to Niseko tommorow!
