To me that looks like a tree from the original Lorax!

Thanks Dunga.
Got to take the chance whenever it comes.
We don't see the sun much in these parts.
When we were there this time last year, the sun came out for a whole total of 30mins ;-) I almost didn't have enough time to get the camera out to catch Yotei in its fleeting appearance!
I still can't get over the "fresh tracks" that we got fairly consistently after lunch due to the sheer amount snow falling...
Keep up the good work!
-
That light in the last few photos is just WOW! Awesome shots Mike!
Keep up the good work.

I was really ticked off this season in Australia when people were running over my board when there was 5cms of fresh to be had.
Made my mind up then and there that I will be making a fairly regular trip to Japan.

I did the same when my iphone got stolen. I traced it down to an apartment block literally 1 minute walk from where I lived. I told the police and they very politely informed me that they would do precicely nothing at all about it.
What a bunch of pecker heads!
What in hell do we pay them for with our taxes?

Mike, i cant tell if Craig is a skier or a snowboarder under all that Hokkaido powder!
-
There is no problems taking them on trains but I found it a hassle when trying to make tight connections between trains.
The courier service is ace.

Cortina is reporting 60cm. Why am I not there yet?
It was 38 degrees here yesterday... :-(
-
List updated today lots of new ones - See it on page 1 - The quickest way to get there is to go to the top of this page and click the << arrow just under my avatar
Hope you can use this to hook up and have a slide and a beer with fellow SJ'ers.
Don't forget to post your dates when you have them.
Dunga, from the post above) at this stage you will have Byhart, Gareth-Oau, and Rach there at the same time as you.
Did you find a taker on the ticket from Melbourne?
Yeah found a taker, so should be good for a buddy.

What sort of Sorel's are you looking at getting?
Looking at getting some Caribou's, i didnt realise there are so many different types... Last year i froze my toes off wearing my cons all stars (was a smart move by me).
Any suggestions?
-
Thinking of getting some Sorel's from the US, anyone think they are ok? Is it worth the extra $ to get the woollen ones?
-
The board was a libtec, bindings were ride, goggles were Oakley, all have to be shipped to a us address.
-
Try hopshopgo as I have used them as a forwarding company quite a few times for shipping. I sent over to Australia a board, bindings and goggles for about $120AUD, roughly 9600¥. There is also my USA and others...
-
Being impatient? It's 4 days in and if you had ordered online it would be more than halfway there now ;-)
-
I couldn't get into a-bu-cha last year, probably because I always forgot to book... Looked the goods.
-
Key thing to stop sore muscles for me is wearing compression leggings during and after skiing. Works a treat.
-
goggles. Some pleb pushed my helmet off a table and the lens got scratched.
Which ones?
Those new Oakley ones with a heads up display on how fast you are travelling?

I watched The Brothers on th Run series recently, John and Eric Jackson travelling from Alaska to Chile by road, boarding, surfing and skating as they went. Features Jeremy Jones and Travis Rice, pretty cool series. About 15 10 minute episodes on YouTube
Brothers on the run kept me going through the OZ spring, its a shame where it ended...
-
... Just for fun, I looked up 'Ultima Thule Lodge'....let's just say I won't be visiting that place anytime soon. Pricey.
That's steep and i dont mean the terrain...
PS further is a top film.

So a long time reader here and 1st time poster.
I will be in Hakuba 20-27th of Jan.
I have booked with a mate and his dad, but have just found out that he has just got a job in the US which means that he can no longer make it, which also means that his dad is also potentially looking to off load his flights/accom/lift tickets/ transfers ect.
I don't know what to do and are thinking im definitely going either way and might be looking for a boarding buddy for the week...
If anyone knows of someone keen for a cheap trip 19-28th of jan from Melbourne, let me know.
-
Its awesome. When i hit up hakuba and Niseko last season, i just got off the plane, dropped off the bag and when 6 days later after playing in Tokyo we got to Hakuba and it was at the pension waiting. Then sent it from Hakuba to Niseko even though we werent going to be there for another week and again it was there waiting for us.
Such an awesome service and something other countries should try out...
