Im still thinking the Professor will turn the plane into a boat using palm trees and coconuts once he's got he sh1t togther (might take a lot of years based upon past episodes of the show). The Skipper and Gilligan will no doubt captain the improvised vessel with the Professor the engineering officer. Ginger and Mary-Ann will be stewardess whilst the Howells relax up front in first class.

Have they looked here?

and here was me thinking that Europe had enough skis. Must be a ski shortage crisis in the alps.

how about decorating your man cave like a luau bar!

yep, it would have to be the kick off skijo on the tour.

As I look at lots of TR's on here I'm starting to think "road trip". Having a car and being to sample a pile of resorts around Niigata looks pretty appealing, even for an old fart like me.

I'm going to have to add it my next japan ski trip itinerary.

Ala Max Smart we have always called the hooded chairs the "cone of silence". Cant say I'm a fan of riding them with my 10 year step son as loves to drop sbd's (silent but deadlys) and gas everyone out!

Head up to Hakuba for the new freestyle chunder contest that's bound to be running on Australia day (26/1). However, it apparently ranks only a lowly 3rd to the master classes on display at Niseko or Whistler!

I'm betting Mr Chin needed to buy himself a new pair of undies after that.

jeeeeez-us mary mother of god! reverse parking that sucker would be interesting

donate to your fav on-mountain restaurant as a cafeteria tray.

Nozawa is the new niseko.....
Elaborate.
sadly, I think after this year I fear that may happen.
Lots of aussies discovering it and the new shinkensan extension may well do it in. I shudder to think it will get "boganed" © -
looks of good stuff to consider!
-
of course! Around Niigata. I can see my lunchtime reading this week will be reading your TR's Muikaboch!Opps,. Granview Granview Granview. Hopefully its sunk in now.

Ok,
I've been skiing in Japan at the following places:
- Hakuba (when it was pretty well aussie and pommy free)
- Shiga Kogen
- Rusutsu
- Furano
- Nozawa Onsen
Apart from Niseko where next? Zao? Road trip? Mt Grandview?
I'm all for a generally Australian free ski experience in Japan (after all, if I want to ski with my fellow aussies I'll just ski at home!)
So... suggest away!
- Hakuba (when it was pretty well aussie and pommy free)

all done and dusted Biggen and we did exactly that - used the kuro neko.
when we came to tokyo back we sent 2 bags by black cat to our hotel in ginza (turned up next day) and send the double ski bag straight back to Narita for pick up 3 days later on the way home. The cost of all 3 bags was around Y5400 - saves a poo-load of hassle for a reasonable price.

But if you want to save that $350, or don't have it, they still get you there, right?
correct. They still get your there.
New Zealand and Australia just love the Royal Family! (Poll added!)
