Correct!

Not Niseko or Seki Onsen.

OK next

Funny this season as well as the effect of 3/11, it was "too much snow". There's pretty much always guaranteed going to be something to talk about.

I used to play a lot of rugby but it's hardly an option here. Play a lot of tennis now outside of the winter months and I like to climb the mountains as well.

Just read through this for the first time. Funny. Never heard of the place but it sure sounds like an up and coming major destination. If only it were in our valley.

I'm not too far from that beast of a nuclear plant on the coast here in Niigata. Don't want them to open it.

Kawaba is a great place, not been as much as I would like but really enjoyed it the few times I have been. Sorry, not quite Minakami but that part of the world!

Not as much as I would have liked, sadly got caught up in too many things that prevented me from making the most of it.

That, my friends is the little historic skijo in Joetsu, 金谷山スキー場

Yes a bit of snow in Myoko. Please continue, more please.....

That video made me laugh.

Has anyone ever got "excited" about Coldplay?

Haha got a friend who has a place in Myoko who really hates Chinese, he says they are "all very bad mannered". Funny thing is they are more and more part of his clientelle so he needs to mask his true feelings there. Seems he can balance it out and put up with it.

Lots of people in the US have guns to 'proactively prevent' crime. Lovely way to live, isn't it.

Can't really add much to what BM said, as it is the case!

At last the story of a resort putting things up rather than taking them down!!

Yikes! Big changes. I thought I had come to the wrong place at first. All looks very shiny and sleek though. Like it!

Indeed, but you can be sure that the people in Myoko will have very much wanted Myoko in it. The ones in Joetsu may not care so much. Not everyone voting was doing so thinking about ski resorts in Myoko. For the general public, I do think that Myoko Takada is a decent choice.

Incredible images. Hope I'm never too close to something like that.

Blimey 150,000 yen. Wonder how many they sell.

Only workers can go up now. Opening is in May 2012.

Oh yes. My ladies folks fridge should have an exclusion zone.

Who knows? I wouldn't want to guess..... it sounds pretty silly and pretentious to me.

Yes that does sort of say My Life My Way, pete. Will you tattoo a clenched fist on there as well, complete with stern facial expression and "Gambaro"?
