Hey, danz! Wie geht's? Greeting from Germany. In my experience to take Ferry to Hokkaido (I believe it was ibaraki or Tochigi?? to muroran....) not that bad... but my problems about that trip was... Muroran to Niseko is too far... and road was quite icy...and long way to go with winter road condition. So if you go with the car which you used to visit Hakuba together in December last year... it might be a bit... taihen. By the way, I still "in touch" with Kuma in Finland, (he went back to home country) his season seems start in 10 days in Finland... My season start

I have heard such a funny news in Germany, After SSAWS (former big snow dome) will be IKEA which will open next Spring... it is true?? I am happy to hear that IKEA will be open in Kanto area (so I can guy a lot of stuff in the future in Japan) but.... I still miss SSAWS.... any comments!?

Helly Hansen are giving a free snowboarding DVD on their website. There don’t seem to be restrictions on where you have to live to get the DVD so visit www.hellyhansen.com to get yourself a freebie.

It is stupid things to ask you.... I had a car in Japan and i drived a car in Japan... BUT! now I am in Germany and already get used to driving in "Right side" . I am a bit scared to drive a car again Japan when I got back for holiday. But I want to visit so many places and I think I want to rent a car... but... I am a bit scared to drive Japan side.... Do you have any advices that "what should I be careful" switch driving side??

Hi, maybe a bit late to response to this topic.. but let me do. I had a great good-bye Japan party last year in snowbed with barok, danz, kuma, emi and more people from Forum. Because of Mitch knew that was my bye-bye Japan snowboard trip, he tried set up a party for me(or us). I really apprecieted! And it was fun. I know Mitch and Yoshie work really hard for keeping snowbed for both Japanese and Ganjin to have a lot of funs in Hakuba. Not that many place is cheap and both Nihonjin and Ganjin confartable place in Japan, like Snowbed, Niseko Chalet,Hirafu Chalet and The Kinta.

Hi there. I am sorry, if someone already asked this question, but I am wondering snow condition in this season,peahaps, I will go back to Japan for holiday in December or January or Feb/March... This year will be like last year (early heavy snow?) or warm winter? Ciao!

You can check it under... www.allrounder.de (but .. be aware that there is such a great German music behind webpage, that is pretty annoying...) but pretty lovely. Even they have a BAR... for fun after boarding!

... Hey... Germany is absolutely hot too. yesterday was 39 degrees and now... I think similar to that.... In some part in Cologne, constructing company is working to make Rhein river deeper to make sure all ship can go and will not stack! I thought Summer in Japan is seriously sh*t but actually, here is %&&'%$&q'#%$&('#!! I REALLY MISS AIRCONDITIONING!!

I was so shocked to see my name on Forum again! I have not been visited for ....5 monts at least... Hello people in Japan from Germany with Heatwave. I miss Japanese A/C!! (No A/C in Germany....garr!) I went to Skihalle (Indoor slope) in Neuss, Germany. It was amazingly similar to SSAWS, but biggest difference was there is a park!! Plus, Price is more friendly than SSAWS. Anyway, Greeting to everyone! Nat xx ps. Actually SSAWS prononced "ZAUSU (ザウス）"

Damn!! It seems like I gonna miss the party in Hakuba.... ps. How's ur life - Barok & Danz????

I take 3 o'clock break for snack ( & tea or beer) but I usually do not take lunch on slope. However, if I drunk too much previous day and I could not each breakfast on the day, I go and eat lunch on time.... well, same as everyone else, up to condition of the day. nt

Hiya. I currently living in Duesseldorf, Germany. (But I might move to Frankfurt in the end of Feb.) In here, weather.... snow or sunshine.... outside is -12. But not much snow also not much hill(!!) Went Swiss for the weekend, and I gonna go down to France in 2 weeks... But... I really miss Snow in Japan!! Snow in Japan rules!! Snow in Japan is best (personally) but size of mountains are better in here...

How's snow in Japan??? No longer residence in Japan, how would I know the snow condisition with out SnowJapan!? Europe - it's been wierd. A day, super warm weather (maybe warmer than Tokyo) but next day, SUPER COLD.... I heard it#s been luck of snow in Austria, but some snow in France & Swiss.... How's Hokkaido? How's Hakuba?? How's Nigata??

It was cool to hang out with people in Hakuba. It was just cool, thanks again people to hang out & join the party Danz- I think most probably go up to Gala or Kagura on Monday for day-trip. Do you want to join? Nat on Mt. Documents in the states of "the Office" ps. Ocean- I think I know who you meant... I lost barok & Kuma & people on 47, then I was looking for they then I met a group of American and Canadian (...not our group but other big group) in between 47 & Goryu.

Ouch Barok. Are U daijobu?

dislocated both arms and cut my ligament by snowboard. dislocated my knee. etc etc etc. (because I am Baka...)

Mr. M or Ms. Y from Snowbed suggest to to Hakuba 47. But if keep snowing and condition gets better, I wanna go Goryu. (I prefer Goryu...) But either one of two ;-) Nt

barok - Are you try to jealous us????? Anyway, see ya on weekend!! ps. Kuma, Emi, Danz and more people... WE WILL NOT GONNA SLEEP on SATURDAY!! WE GONNA DRINK UNTIL SUNDAY!

Go to ATM @ Post office. You can get money out.

Too bad... my frinds and I gonna have early X-mas Do this weekend.... But I am sure you will meet many people in Hakuba.

This coming weekend ... I gonna go to Hakuba (Woo hoo) am so excited.
