[In Japan?]

I am in Anjo close to Nagoya Aichi. Nothing exciting!

[Your pants?]

Chiemsee,

I have them for 6 years.

Never been cold and no damages at all.

These are really strong and very comfortable clothes.

I don't intend to change. It's like an old Jeans that you can't throw away!

[Favorite Beer - very important topic]

Hi Badmigraine,

 

It is nice to find some people that also enjoyed the taste of a belgian beer.

I would definitely recommand you the Orval, you can also try the Kasteel or Kwak but they are a little bit stronger (up to 11% for the Kasteel)

 

These are quite difficult beers to find in Japan. If you're looking for another good one, you should try the DUVEL.

 

Cheers!!

Hi Wade,

Sorry I was out for a while.

If you like small rides in the trees, smaller station (and cheap season pass), Ontake area is really nice. Ontake is bigger but there are several smaller one around. I really like this area but sometimes I go to Hakuba for longer rides.

[Any REPORTS from the slopes yet at all?]

I went to Mia Kaida Kogen, very small station near Ontake. Only one slope was opened but I would say that the snow was not too bad for the first time this year. I am looking forward for real Powder.

Looking for the Best Beer?

There's only one place to go... BELGIUM!!

Indeed BELGIUM has more than 400 tasteful beers.

I would recommand you the Trappist Beers (only 7 Beers are brewed by trappist monks in the World)

 

OSUSUME: ORVAL, WESTMALLE, CHIMAY, ROCHEFORT and WESTVLETEREN.

If you prefer the light and fruity beers you should try the Gueuze Bellevue, Fruits Defendus.

[wheres the best place to go up here?????]

Usually Hakuba,

definetely the best Powder I ever had.

 

I've also been many times to Tsumagoi in Gunma, and near Ontake in Nagano.

 

Where is your prefered site? Do you know any good places in Hokkaido? I plan to go there with some friends and I am looking for advices on the best powder and tracks.

Hi Wade,

I am also in Mikawa. I live in the "center" of Anjo.

I often go snowboarding in Ontake or Hakuba with friends. Where do you go?

[Tip on Snowboarding in Hokkaido?]

Hi there,

 

I'd like to snowboard in Hokkaido but I don't know where to go for HUUUUGE amount of Powder and the best off-track?

 

Any tips?

Thanks for your help!
