I enjoy all the images and vids posted here on SJ . Gives an insight as to the individual's personal preferences. Viva la difference.

if you surf or skateboard then snowboarding is somewhat similar. As to leg fatigue that comes down to fitness and technique and experience.

Myoko has a ski school with Aussie / Brit instructors, dead flat bunny slopes next to the village and one of the hotels has a crèche. Hope that helps.

yeah i mentioned,no car, had had a look at renting. Not sure on that.. Myoko, madarao,Yuzawa, Nozawa, Zao. These are places Ive looked at..Not really keen on the aussie masses on the other island. Renting a car you will easily escape the Aussie masses on the island of Japan.

Be careful about venturing beyond Niseko . There be Dragons out there in those foreign lands.

Koalas prefer to fry their tiny brains on eucalyptus leaves. Not really a garden threat.

Along with Japan's "RESEARCH" Whaling program.

Fools and their money are easily parted. There are plenty of other mountains out there.

You could probably buy Mt Granview for that amount. Just give it to the lady in the ticket office if you can wake her up.

Yeah, 47,500 euros to be dragged up the mountain. Airfares not included.

Is this the poll modelled on the North Korean election ?

Now that's just sticking a pin in the balloon.

I'll tell her that when she gets out of my shower

Consider yourself censed and issue.

If they have a brain in their head they will remain a non smoker.

Which returns when they stop.

+2 on that much prefer these sort of tour reports and photos than photos of face shots at the resorts. Well done.

Hi Mike enjoyed your report touring around Jyozankei dam. Wondering where you source your topo maps. Any info appreciated.

Hayden Christiansen. Worst actor ever. Whatever were they thinking with jar jar binks. Ep 1-3 complete rubbish.

Here in NZ I had a root canal done a while back . All done in one painless procedure. Felt the pressure while the dentist/ Haisha was doing his stuff but no pain. My understanding is that doctors and dentists in japan are extremely conservative concerning pain medication.

I'm hoping the skis were secured. I would hate to imagine what would happen in an accident if they being tossed about cabin.

Carrying skis inside the Heli ? No cargo pod on the skids. Not usual practice. I

@GN . The Rudd Gillard Rudd debacle was the model government to lead Australia into a prosperous future ?? The majority of Australians disagreed.

Japan allows non matching tyres on front and rear axles ?? Not allowed down here due Handling and breaking concerns. I run Maxxis big horns on my Hilux.

Great report and great photos but hey!! You really need to upgrade your skis.
