Wizz replied to Joules's topic in Snow talk, trip reports, Japan avalanche & backcountry
Excellent to hear that joules. You spent FIFTY DAYS in Niseko last year.....how can people get to do that..! Looking forward to other reports from the slopes guys (and gals, sorry Helen/Nat/etc) -

Good ski places in Saitama
Wizz replied to Eriond's topic in Snow talk, trip reports, Japan avalanche & backcountry
that's a joke right? If you're in Saitama, go north to Gunma or Yuzawa is the best bet for you. -

quick poll: Skiers and Snowboarders...
Wizz replied to danz's topic in Snow talk, trip reports, Japan avalanche & backcountry
Great to see so many people on the forum even now before the snow comes. Much more than this time last year - looks like there must be quite a lot more people using the site. This season is going to be a blast people! -

Boarding for me. Havent looked back since I took it up 5 years ago. What a feeling. Maybe I should go back to skiing to see what that feels like again, but just dont want to give up riding the pow on a board. -

can't wait for the winter to get going. -
Fit is definitely the most important thing, couldn't agree more. Good to hear advice though guys. Do you buy in Japan or bring them over here?

Snow forecasts?
Wizz replied to The Frog's topic in Snow talk, trip reports, Japan avalanche & backcountry
Theres a link to the maps from the front page of the site, dudes. Here it is.... JAPAN SNOW MAPS -
Hi Ian You might find that there are more boarders around than skiers - at least they seem to be the more "vociferous" of the two camps. But hey I have always thought they can live together!?! Haha. Welcome to the board. Wizz

me thinks crazy time will continue for long time, and get crazier too.....not good.

Where to go? help!
Wizz replied to STU8's topic in Snow talk, trip reports, Japan avalanche & backcountry
Hi there Got to be either Nozawa, Shiga or the places in Hakuba if you want to try out Nagano. Tradition? Nozawa Expanse? Shiga Olympic venue? Hakuba My 2 cents anyway Wizz -
a cool bar up there, from what I am told...

Hi Helen Welcome to the board. Where do you live in Japan then? -
best snowboard-park?
Wizz replied to frannyo's topic in Snow talk, trip reports, Japan avalanche & backcountry
Don't laugh...... ....but GALA have a great park you know made by some famous dude. They are going to make it better this year too by all accounts. The only thing about GALA is - go on a weekday! Otherwise it may not be fun. -
Prince - what is it with them guys?
Wizz replied to a topic in Snow talk, trip reports, Japan avalanche & backcountry
Just to elaborate a bit more (a few more minutes before the boss arrives!). The Prince people may well be very nice, but they certainly dont come across that way to their guests who pay them a considerable amount of money to stay in their "not-particularly-modern" rooms. They just do not seem to "respect" their guests. Kind of difficult to explain, anyone else feel the same kind of vibes??
