[New SnowJapan stickers and flyers - want some?]

They lasted really well actually.

Will ask for some more if you don't mind.

[2012/13 Who, When, Where? - A Definitive J-List - V2]

Too early for dates. I'll decide much closer to the time.

But I definitely want to get to:

 

- Nozawa

- Myoko

- Minakami

[The iconic, world famous Emergency Telephone Box 11/12 (Yuzawa, Niigata)]

[Centleisure Maiko Snow Resort (Minamiuonuma, Niigata) - 5th February 2012]

Yikes

 

 

This just off resort?

[New SnowJapan stickers and flyers - want some?]

I got some sent out to my brother in the US and he got them no problem.

Going to stick them in a few places over there in season.

[Snow tyres]

Sounds like a big job. Otsukaresama!

[Mobile themes for these Forums]

Just gave them a go. And posting using it now. Looks good on my iphone.

[SITE UPDATES - Resorts section]

Mad numbers!

Like the refreshed look and good to take out places that were dormant I reckon.

Especially for someone like me who had no idea!

[Echoland In Hakuba + And -]

Staying at La Neige.

 

[So, Japan then. Safe?]

I hate raw fish.

No problems with food.

Tons of stuff I love.

[Brewing beer]

I'll try some of your beer. Go get making it!

 

[Echoland In Hakuba + And -]

We decided on Wadanonomori I think.

Still not picked a place, in the process now.

 

Sorted.

 

Can't wait!

['Seismic change in attitude' - foreign execs leaving Japan]

I think lots of the gaijin execs living in their luxury bubble lifestyle simply aren't really interested in Japan. It's as if they are not here, just taking advantage of all those lovely perks they get living in a world that isn't real. They're almost like a rank below Fairweather Friends.

 

Good riddens I say.

[Current Snowboard gear prices in Japan?]

I have only been skiing 6 times and it was with friends gear/rental.

 

I'm up for buying kit this year and will enjoy doing that in October. Friend who works in a sports shop promises to get me a good deal.

[Finally get to ski Niseko]

Sure you weren't just eating from the conbini?

[Echoland In Hakuba + And -]

Group of 4 of us thinking about going to Hakuba this winter for 5 or 6 days and I think we will choose between staying either in Echoland or Wadanonomori. Still haven't decided yet, weighing it all up. Both looks good to me.

[Casualties of events]

Heard that as well. Good to hear. Does it apply to nighta as well?

[Skier or snowboarder THE POLL]

Been in Japan for going on 5 years now but only took up skiing last winter.
