I think calling Tony a baboon is being far too kind.

Sounds good WV. As long as I can keep my snowboard.

Are there other ski areas that might be upset with the council if they let Kandatsu open without paying their taxes? That may be the rationale behind this.

No, we need some possessions (after all, my snowboard is a possession)

When we first moved to Australia and were staying with the inlaws, they were fostering ex racing greyhounds as part of a program to try to adopt them out to people as pets rather than getting put down. They really are lovely dogs. My better half would like to get one but currently its not possible for us.
About the funniest thing we saw was when one dog saw its reflection in the sliding door and freaked out - it had had a bone earlier in the back yard and freaked out that this strange dog was going to steal its bone, so it barked at its reflection, which also barked back, so then it got really submissive, put its head down low, then it just didn't know what to do any more - opened the sliding door and out it went looking for its bone and the other dog, and couldn't find either. The poor thing was distraught, meanwhile we are all laughing our heads off.

skiing is boring
If skiing is boring - this might help (found on a british skiforum):
Leeds girl 34 yrs looking for a male ski partner to share room and ski!
Hi, I'm from Leeds and looking for a male ski partner of a similar age to have a great ski holiday and share a room to reduce the costs. Last year I did the same thing and met another guy from Leeds and we had the most awesome holiday. I'd prefer to meet one person that lives in or near Leeds so we could get to know each other beforehand. It would be good to know if we will get on well before sharing a room for a week, lol.
I'm not looking to do group skiing.
I'm of intermediate ability, love to push myself to the limits and ski for full days. Then have fun afterwards on the après ski. My favourite place is val d'isere but I'm open to suggestions. Looking to go January or February 2014.
Let me know if you're interested!
Anybody?
I bet she's one of Pies' birds.

Agree on that, so go down the road and hire from a small business instead. A quick google search found skis and boots in Niseko for 4000 yen and I am sure I can find cheaper if I keep looking.

Thanks Big Chris.
They were pretty cute.
But I couldn't be stuffed uploading them anywhere when they are already on my FB account.
Now...if they were snow pic's I might actually make the effort
Why not combine the two?

So TB, if you were a landlord, and your tenant punched a hole in the wall, you would take there deposit but not charge them for the actual cost of repairing the wall?

Its an amazing likeness!

anyway....
as a business owner, i can understand why these places charge whatever prices they do.
rent, wages, stock etc. it all adds up and they have to make a living somehow. i really dont think anyone in the ski rental business is making bank but who knows.
besides, the vast majority of users on this forum arent the target market. rentals are mostly for punters and weekend warriors who ski like 5 times a year.
im very happy to rent a set of skis for $50 to go skiing that one day a year im not snowboarding.
Also, if you were the owner of a ski rental shop, you get 4, maybe 5 months of income, which may need to last the whole year depending on what the off season situation is for that business. If it were possible for rentals to be cheaper, then there would be some shops doing it - and others would be forced to lower there price to compete.
There is quite a difference in my experience though, between renting at the resort, and renting down the road / across the road from the resort - if you can get your rentals on the way rather than at the base area then you will most likely get them cheaper.
And don't forget to keep an eye out for discount vouchers.

"There is no scheduled nighta at Mt Granview, but you can actually rent the resort out for an private nighta session. Prices to be confirmed."
Cool. Private SJ party.
Now that is a cool idea, how many people can say that they rented an entire ski resort for a night?
