Thanks folks.

GALA! Oh, maybe not. But their prices are POSH

Like them but can't afford to buy too many right now.

Most visited village - Hakuba!

How much do these things cost, anyone? Thanks.

Nah, didn't like this at all - apart from the eerie New York scenes. Media seems to be afraid to say much against a Spielberg/Kubrick production.

Erm, looks like I must have been away for too long and missed something..... What ARE you talking about???

Calling everyone? Is this gonna happen or what?

For non-connecting separate resorts, where would that be? Nozawa? Zao? Kagura? Happo?

If it weren't for all the people around it would be a great time to get out and enjoy. But alas, it's just packed everywhere. Best to take your own hols if you can.

Sounds interesting NoFakie, thanks for the report.

Rusutsu is a decent place.

Never really thought about it. Now I have...... ....daft name.

What's all this cheese stuff on about then while I've been away? OK here goes, yes cheese is nice.

Yeah, that stuff sucks. Wouldn't give it to the dog.

The "only" resort right now is Kagura. Oh yeah, and pathetic excuses of resorts like GALA and Naeba struggling to keep some snow on their runs...

Great to hear - haven't been boarding for over 4 weeks now. Hope to do a few more times. Looks like Japan has really warmed up while I have been away.

Hi folks, back again. I had done a lot of skiing, then boarding, in Canada before Japan.

27 and a bit

Thanks for the responses people. Actually been away for a few weeks, so couldn't really get back. Must say, still not convinced about the fun part, but there you go. Good to hear that it can be fun - maybe next season when the fluffy stuff comes back.

No probs

Thanks. No, it's not self-evident to me at all, but interesting to hear your response. Less of the sarcasm, matey-boy, next time!
