  1. cheese and skiing don't mix bro...

     

    you are tempting fate...

     

    these two pleasures deserve their own special time...requiring you complete attention...

     

    you may find yourself savouring your Edam at Arai and unsuspectingly blow by their vicious patrolmen, causing the entire mountain to shutdown, endangering the life of many skiers, including your own...

     

    BEWARE!

    the herd mentality is taking you prisioner...

    break free...come play in the powder...

     

    speaking of herd mentality...I was thinking about it some more, and the reason why I enjoyed powder days so much in japan is because the "herd mentality" is to stay IN BOUNDS!... there are really not that many poachers in japan...you can ski freshies all day at mid-size resorts...the tracks are there, but they are all mine, and maybe a few other black sheep!

     

    all this talk of powder is making me sad...i am sweating in my office now...

  3. yup...

     

    very interesting as usual...

     

    but I don't agree with one point...

    this guy says the only way things will change at resorts in Japan is with a major paridgm shift in the collective japanese mentality...

    does he seriously believe this is possible???

     

    I don't like how he justifies the state of japanese resorts compared to other countries based on notions of "herd-mentality" and "cultural norms"...things will never change if you don't start thinking outside the box...and if he is any gauge of the stance of japanese ski patrollers in general, then we are in for a looooong trip...

    when does winter start again??

  4. thanks...

     

    I don't have much time, so I want to find something that will amuse me for a few days...

    when i consult with most japanese collegues of mine they usually end up pointing me to the most touristy areas of japan...i wondered if some people in here like to get off the beaten track and have discovered some gems down in shikoku...

     

    doesn't have to be the 88 temples...anything is all good...

  5. thanks for all the preventative tips and the slap on the wrist...

    'cmon...speed is in our blood right? riders of the mtn...you gotta drive fast to get to the mtn...hey, maybe thats the excuse i'll feed those gunma people...

  6. are you $%!* serious...

    70000yen...I was certainly doing over 100km

    but have no clue what the speed limit was...

    also, i don't have a japanese driving license...just an international thing that is basically made from paper...

     

    there has got to be a way to knock that number lower...no way am i paying that much...
