(US$250-300) Binding: 30000yen -45000yen(US$250-300) Outwear(top): 45000yen - 60000yen (US$370-500) Outwear(bottom): 35000yen -50000yen.(US275-420) =The prices above are average price @ Sports shop in Tokyo.... .... I think it worth to buy your gear in OZ then ship to Japan...

Hi Belle! Genki? Mr. Teddy went back to Finland for 5days then came back to Japan. But he gonna go to Fin again for not only sunny weather but also cool air (!) and Sauna (!!), then come back to humid Japan again in August I think.

My friends and I gonna meet up in Tokyo sta. around 1.00pm then haveing lovely lunch then head down to SSAWS. It might be fun to get together again. Nat

Hey, am going to SSAWS next Saturday (20 July) with friends! Anyone interest to join us?

Okay -- I got Docomo Yesterday.... F504i!!! Woo hoo

AU -- I cannot get reception in my house... (Even I live in Shibuya... I cannot get it, why!?) Docomo -- I heard short-mail is pretty expensive to use... I am heavy short-mail user... J-Phone -- I get weird phone call everywhere to my j-phone... Which Company I should go for!?

Which Keitai do you use? I using J-phone now but I've got too many Junk call & telephone call from weird people (!) so I am concerning to change. Personally I like J-phone but a bit useless on the slopes... so I just wondered...

Snow upthere is ... slightly heavy, but .... Nyuto-Onsen Ski-jo (Top part of Tazawako Ski-jo) has good snow, But slopes itself are really short, kind of boring staff. Or... In the Tazawako Ski-jo - "Champione course (or something like that name) you can take powder. That's it.

France out.... Je ne sais pas quoi dire

Barok - where you will be? Tokyo or Nagano or where?

Dear All (who are missing white stuff already): As many of you know, SSAWS in CHIBA close down in the end of September.(Pretty shame!) -> See the article http://www.skijapanguide.com/ubb/Forum1/HTML/001198.html One day, a SJG reader and also the girl who I hang out on the slopes last season, sent me an E-mail said, "I may go to SSAWS sometime this summer before it closes down... (I'm missing the white stuff already, so)" Then I’ve got some funny idea. Perhaps, some SJG readers, who start to miss "White Stuff", can gather in SSAWS (maybe on Saturday) to have "Summ
