Ski Japan Guide

We have just heard the same news, seems to be true...thanks for posting the info jared.

OK we will look into it for you, thanks.

Can you see this: http://www.snowjapan.com/e/resorts/weatherimages/111.gif

The small weather images on the weekly forecasts in resort watch and the resort pages also seem to be appearing fine...

Which pictures do you mean? The ones on this page? The ones on this page are currently working fine, it seems.... http://www.snowjapan.com/e/daily/snowmap.html

Thanks Sharon, our oversight. We agree it would be great if we could get by without resorting to insulting comments.

deebee Yuzawa, or Echigo Yuzawa to give it the full name, is a town. Yuzawa has about 19 resorts, including Naeba, Kagura, Iwappara, and GALA Yuzawa. GALA Yuzawa is a resort in Yuzawa town, owned by JR (hence the Shinkansen).

We're currently trying to put together a Snow Japan Party alcoholic night out in Tokyo, probably around the 6th December. Just as an initial taster - anyone out there interested???

There will be one, probably around 6th December in Tokyo, probably Roppongi. We're into details right now and will post info as soon as we can. Hope people will come!

This is not being pessimistic or whatever, just fact. I spoke with ARAI resort today. See the new ARAI Now page for info on their snow conditions right now... http://www.snowjapan.com/e/daily/shownow.php?town=ARAI%20Now%21 ....but they said that they will NOT be opening earlier than planned (or not by much) even if there is lots of snow. Their planned opening is December 14th. Other resorts we have spoken to over the last few days have said similar things. One of them being this little place not many people know about called Niseko Hirafa or something like that. (I

Hey klubhead, yes we did put the pics up: http://www.skijapanguide.com/cgi-bin/ubbcgi/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=1;t=002912 (We did send you a mail with that link in too - did you not see that??) Thanks again for the pics

Also to be found here on our site: http://www.snowjapan.com/e/services/niseko-adventure-center.html Please do mention Snow Japan if you contact them

Looks like 47 won't be opening today.. http://www.snowjapan.com/e/daily/shownow.php?town=Hakuba%20Now%21

Apologies for the delay, we were going to post this later on tonight. We've been a bit busy, can't think why <<<< no excuse! The winner will be announced on Monday. Thanks Snow Japan

We hope you do stick around - when the resorts open and the weather reports kick in.... Enjoy the site

A width of up to 245 pixels (L>R) should see your photos shown "as is". Top to bottom isnt so much a problem but try to keep them under 300 pixels. Thanks

We're glad to see that we already have over 20 member pages online and more coming in. We hope more and more will be added and this will become a popular area to post and share ideas as the season starts. UPLOADING PHOTOS If you upload a large photo, it will be scaled down automatically on your member page, but may suffer in quality as a result of that process. If you want to have your photos keep their quality, keep them to about the sizes that they display on the member pages, and they will be displayed "as they are". Hope that makes sense. Thanks again!

NoFakie, great - get the Forum link too?

Good to see people making pages already! You can link to member pages no problem. People who are logged into the Insider section will be able to go directly to the page, if you are not logged in you will have to login first. Thanks.

Many thanks for the comments and all the email messages we're getting....we're getting a bit overloaded with mails this morning - but do please keep them coming. We're glad that most people seem to like the new site. There are so many new features and things to do added to the site now, and we hope that everyone will join in the fun and use the functionality - check it all out. Remember that we will be adding content, course maps (as many as we can..) etc over the coming weeks as the season approaches. Keep the comments coming. Snow Japan

The J site will have a Forum, separate to this one, but with convenient links from one to the other for people who want to crossover....
