Does anyone know where one can shop for some ski-pants for a 185cm guy in Tokyo? I'm only day-tripping to the slopes this year, and I really don't want to waste precious ski-time shopping. What about a 165cm girl? Somehow I've missed seeing any ski-shops here, and I know they must exist... -Zekkers

Hey guys (and gals), I don't really have an answer to this question, because my first time to Japan is the end of January. But I need an answer! I still have to convince my hubby that we need to hit the slopes while we're there. He says that it's just sking- and we go to Colorado every year, so why waste our time there, since it's all the same... (idiot, I know) SO, how can I convince my hubby that sking Japan would be an experience of modern Japanese culture? And therefore time-worthy?

Hey! I'm going to Osaka too- but late Jan. (It's my first trip to Asia, I'm going to be in Japan for 11 days) So, I figured, hit the slopes while I'm at it- since since seeing the cherry blossoms is out this trip. If you find out any more information, I'd love to hear about it as well.

I've used a camelback for three trips now, and I agree with Scruffy. I only add one thing- never fill the thing all the way full. If you take a bad spill, the added pressure can burst the bladder, and you'll get doused with water. Not good.
