[Cross-country - what IS the appeal??]

Interesting. Never done it, but what is the best place to go cc then here in Japan? Is the Hakuba olympic place the best?

[Best day this year- where and when?]

Hey Matt I was there the day after you.

Excellente place, love it.

Great conditions too.

[Yamagata Zao - OK, is it great or not?]

I'm not too into that place either.

I read it somewhere on skijapanguide, but it is owned by loads of different people - so thats why it seems so disjointed.

[Living in Japan - expensive?]

I find that you can get by very reasonably in Japan. I dont live in the city too, so costs dont seem too bad to me at all.

[Troubled, advice anyone? Best resort in Hakuba?]

No doubt in my mind.

 

Happo.

[Where's your hometown?]

Toronto

[When will you be riding the snow until?]

As much as I can when the conditions are acceptable. Maybe until the middle to end of April.

[This weekend]

Nowhere this weekend, but will be making a trip up to Gunma and Niigata from Mon-Thurs next week.

[Please tell me about ZAO?]

Anyone fill me in a bit on Zao Yamagata? I hear it is a really good place, but anything anyone can tell me will be a big help.

 

Thanks
