Hmmm dates not sure but - 5 days in Hakuba (January) - 4 days in Zao (February) Plus some more.

Anyone used to have a special doll or cuddly toy? ---- That's really just an excuse to show this:

Sayama?

Feeling fine today, Mamabear.

Why's that then? I surf.

Get your facts right ey? Try them every summer.

Haha I started watching Finding Nemo last night. Didn't intend to watch and never thought I would enjoy it - but I was sucked in and really did enjoy it.

I side with the shrarks. And Octopussies.

Does jogging count? That and riding my bike, Not really into team sports at all.

Went up there. Decent views but it was pretty overcast hazy in the distance. Just a one time thing I think.

If so, how come the Chinese claim them. And I read somewhere the Taiwanese as well. Wonder how much islands cost these days.

Good one that. I'm always interested in reading stuff on that topic.

I would think that instint takes over in the face of sudden massive earthquake movements! (Does it?)

I just love walking round temples and shrines like those in the photos here. Another two to add to the list of ones I want to go to. Looking forward to going to Nikko as well sometime soon, I'm sure I'll love it there. Thanks for sharing the photos.

Next year I want to go everywhere that I haven't been. Sounds like a plan! But definitely I want to go to Zao.

Was just looking over this last night Mike. Great pics and stuff. Cheers.

8! In normal conditions!

Good to hear about your trip snowjunky - not so much the injury! Sounds like you timed it well with the snow.

Got myself added.

Been reading for a while but thought I would sign up. I just want to add to this now that the (well.. my) season is pretty much done. Big thumbs up for all the effort that must go into getting these out there day in day out for such a long season as well. Even though I have finished, I still find myself reading them every day. I know my friends do as well. Thank you for the great service.

My friend did their knee in this season as well. Someone crashed into them at an out of control 405503km/h. He was none too please. Nice report snowjunky.

I remember the first time I went to Yuzawa a few years back and was just amazed at the amount of snow they get in town. Mind boggles how people deal with it. Love it.

Managed 15 times this season. Maybe one last go, though got to admit that the warmer spring weather and 'spring snow' makes me less inclined. Had a good one though.

Hi! Skiing, a fair few times since I came to Japan a few years ago.
