Mobi replied to Mobi's topic in Snow talk, trip reports, Japan avalanche & backcountry
Thanks Paris88.. good to know you found some Foils up there somewhere, that means there could be others too not just race and mogal skis. -
I worked at Shiga for 2 seasons 8 years ago and im going back there on the 28th (busy period) unfortunately only for 2 days. I'm coming from New Zealand and my girlfriend has told me I can take skis or skateboard, not both! Ive decided to go with the skateboard, the dervish, after all i'll be in Osaka for the remaining 15 days of our trip and couldn't imagine being there without my wheels. But im still worried about the skis available for hire at Shiga. Im bringing my boots and I want to hire good twin-tips, I dont want to ski on shit. Has anyone rented skis from Prince Hotel

If you go to a resort with those electronic ticket systems, some resorts have a machine where you return your little electronic ticket thing...and then the machine gives you back your 1000yen bond. If you hang around these machines around midday you can catch old people who have already had enough for the day, and buy their ticket from them for 1000yen. And at the end of the day when you've finished you can take the ticket back to the machine and get your 1000yen back.. This is a great idea if you drink alot the night before, then you can stay in bed until midday.

Australia / NZ season
Mobi replied to rajeem's topic in Snow talk, trip reports, Japan avalanche & backcountry
There are actually only 26 ski fields here in NZ, and only 12 of those are commercial fields. The rest are small club fields, but worth a look at if you don't like crowds. Try these sites: www.snow.co.nz & webcams: www.nzxsports.com (take a look at the Mt Hutt cam) -
Well we all knew the snow in Australia was rather shit anyway, but this season at Mt Buller it really will be shit! I heard on the news today that a team working at Mt Buller have been experimenting with a process which allows them to run treated sewerage through their snow making machines. So next time your up at Mt Buller please make your way to the rest rooms and take a big 'dump' for all the skiers and boarders.

Im trying to locate a New Zealander working for a ski school based in Nakano, Nagano-ken. They usually take there students to Kitashiga Kogen, Komaruyama. Ive tried looking for the ski school on this site but can't find it, so if you know of any ski schools in the area with a very sukebe gaijin instructor please let me know. Thanx Mobi

BARSTUDS...they broke into my car yesterday while I was surfing and took everything that was inside even my towel...I couldn't dry myself and I had no clothes to change into, they even took some of my ski-wear which I brought along for extra warmth. I had a 2hr drive home in my wetsuit with a broken window and an empty stomach, I had $10 stashed in my ashtray which they missed but I needed that for petrol. They took over NZ$2000 worth of MY stuff, that might not be alot for you guys earning Yen, but I only earn NZ$. Dosen't matter what sport you do, if expensive equipment is inv
