When can I watch this! It looks amazing.

Do you have any stickers to stick inside your car on the window ? Or do all the stickers have a sticky back. They look great, everytime I see the new logo it just reminds me of Pepsi soft drink... anyone else ??

Im from Australia and will be staying in hakuba, I will most likely be going off piste out of resort boundries as im hiring a guided BC tour guide for a day. Any specific insurance companies you recommend?

So im going to Japan for 6 weeks and ill be doing some off-piste riding and I want to be covered of course for this, would I be looking at an extras package that includes off-piste or are there some companies people recommend that normally have it in their general policy. I tired to have a look around the forum for some tips or recommendations but most of them are outdated. sorry for hijacking the OP's thread!

I've never heard of this :S and this whole time I have been off doing my own little thing overseas, can you please give me some suggestions on where to look for these extra benefits! it would be MUCH appreciated!

The lodge has given me that option, I think I would just do that and just buy a mid week if i choose to go to another mountain. Cheers for your help mate

so im best of just buying a 5 day pass if i wish to go multiple resorts rather then a season pass

So im looking at staying in Hakuba for 6 weeks, the cheaper option for me is to get a season pass. I believe they are 65,000 yen(last season according to SJ website) is it easy to set it up as soon as I get there or should i pre-purchase it and send a photo and pay upfront ? I'm unsure because the Hakuba Goryu website is in Japanese, If I purchase a Happo-one season pass does that give me access to all the mountains ? or is there a special pass for that one ? Also is there any type of early bird offers or is it just the one price ? Cheers!

brings back amazing memories!!!

I paid something like 230,000 yen for a full day and I would recommend it to anyone, and that is very cheap for the instructor i got , but japan is very cheap for lessons, i suggest you get a few if you wish to improve.

I was there at the start of this year, and wont be coming till start of 2012 for my next japan trip. im going to germany in 2 weeks, hopefully i can find a seller around there. cheers slippery! I would buy on the internet but last time i did that the size didnt fit. I would rather try on this time

Originally Posted By: Slippery Jim I bought a nice pair of gloves on my last US trip, don't remember the brand. But what I'm lusting after is a pair of 3-finger Hestra Heli gloves. Much of the advantages of mittens, but with more dexterity thanks to the independent index finger. Plus they look great! At 14,000 yen in Tokyo they're within your budget, Korbzy. damnit they look awsome, this is a great investment imo, i will look into these for sure, pitty i cant find any aussie stores that stock hestra, i was looking on the website for the seth morrison ones and they look great. what typ
