So, I put my snowboard to sleep for the summer and took out my skateboard (gravity longboard). Riding that is the closest feeling for me to riding my snowboard......after about 4 hours my front right wheel fell off, mid run. Sent me flying and I landed on my wrist. After lots of swearing and walking in circles it was off to the hospital to have it yanked back into place. I dislocated it/picked up a Burton fracture! (Very fitting name!) End of my skate season for a while!

Kamori Kanko.....owners of Teine resort, Rusutsu resort, Nakayama Toge resort.......and many hotels

for me, it's usually after Golden Week.

yet to begin here.....what medicine does everyone usually take for it?I'm on the Benzablock for it, anyone got any better recommendations??

I lose too then, because I cycled past this mystery man whilst on my way to work!

Cute dog!!! My dog maybe cuter though?! (If I knew how to add photos I would!)

Tubby, were u riding through Maruyama at 7:40 this morning? Wearing shorts and a long sleeves white t-shirt?

Hahaha a rare breed I do believe! Is Wigan pier museum still there? Heard it was getting torn down a few years ago?

Saw some old geezer flying a quad copter in the park near my work a couple weeks back. Wish I still had my RC Tyco Viper rajicon from my childhood....the top popped up to reveal a vipers neck and head and it had an electronic water pistol inbuilt! Oh the fun I had!

Used to go up a lot before moving to Japan 8 years ago. Been back to the uk 3 times since then (Wigan included). Very small world!! Could do with a win this weekend

Orion, for those rare, hot Hokkaido days!

March 8th and march 9th. March 7th (fri) saw a massive storm with lots of high winds and lift closures at many resorts around Hokkaido. Rusutsu saw 30cms fall and Isola and East mountains closed. Sat morning and we drove to Rusutsu in white out conditions over Nakayama Toge and we wished we had chosen Kokusai because the skies were clear and sun shining when we had left Sapporo. Little did we know what was waiting for us at Rusutsu resort. It had put down another 60cm's over night and the gondola opening was delayed almost 40minutes due to too much snow. We were greeted with waist

Downloading from the internet is frowned upon here on the island of Japan.

Tis true, I was quiet about my beliefs for fear of persecution. Shit result last night. Shame to not get a chance at retaining the cup, but the boys did us proud to get this far and force arsenal to penalties!

this is where we all ran away too after we got relegated!!

12 hours behind I think....which means match times are 1am, 4am, 5am, 7am and some games at 10am.... oh dear!

MASSIVE game today (tomorrow morning). COME ON YOU LATICS

Hello, Sorry if this has been mentioned before, but thought a fresh thread might be a good starting point (didn't fancy scrolling through 64 pages of the football thread 2013 - 2014 to find my answers) Anyone know if and or what games will be televised here in Japan? After the lack of any coverage other than those events including a Japanese athlete/team at the last 2 Winter Olympics, London Olympics and the last World Cup (I have been living here a while), was just very desperate to see what channels and what games will be on't telly. Hopefully the stadiums will be finished on tim

not a boy band fan, so don't think I would like the beer....or the Janese cuisine!!!

There was a reported 5cm at Kokusai today! Snow forecast to roll through Sapporo later tonite into the early hours of tomorrow! Shame I have to work this weekend!!

Rusutsu closed yesterday. Teine only weekends... Spring is here! Nakayama Toge resort should be opening soon?

Could be lots of lifts on hold today...VERY windy in the city of Sapporo on the island of Japan. Tomorrow's the one for me! Anyone heading to Kokusai or Teine tomorrow?

Snow predicted to last through tomorrow at Otaru. Could be a good day on the slopes Sunday?!
