I saw another post just now about jumping, but want to take that a bit further. I just really want to try real ski jumping and have seen some jumps around (Nozawa, Iiyama, Happo), but how on earth do you get started with that?
And do they allow gals?

I had a great weekend in - change of plans - Happo/Tsugaike. Noooo way that we wont get any more snow.
-
Where are you off to then? I will be heading off the Hakuba again this weekend for another 3 days on the hills.

Where were you today then Ocean?

Hey Ocean, we are online the same time AGAIN. Must be something in that.

I went to GALA last season when I was working in Tokyo for a month and used this same kind of deal. Definitely a great way to go if you want to go to that resort.

The famed c course hey. Is Ryou worth a look then, never been there myself. Is that the place kind of next to Kijimadaira and on the other side of the Shiga K mountains....?
-
Yes, cal, looks like we have had some serious dumping over the last week. Let's hope it's not the last this season. (Serious dump that is)

I was up in Shiga Kogen this last weekend for my latest 3 day board trip. It was great up there...good snow, and not too many people around glad to say. Such a huge place. Been up there Ocean?

Oops, thanks for that Jon.

Hahahahahaha, I heard that on the radio yesterday and thought I had misheard.
They get better don't they?

I was in hakuba too over the weekend and had an awesome time. Good to see winter is back with us.

Sure is Yuki!
I'm rad Rach - how's it going....first time here?

SHAKEN!
I have it!
It's a rip off.

Will have to think on that one Ocean.
So what was the snow like in Myoko then yesterday?
-
Went out this weekend and people were very talkative. Maybe it's "Talking Day" or something - whatever, had a few good conversations with Japanese people on the lifts.
One was up from Okinawa for a 2 day ski trip (!). And when he said 2 day, that includes most of the travelling, so time on the runs is negligible. He seemed ok with that?!?!
-
I'd rather be DOING rather than WATCHING...
That applies for most things hey?
-
Hey Ocean!
We often seem to be online to same time.
Fate perhaps
So what do you think of Suginohara - have heard good things about it from many people.
-
Sure am - not hearing any complaints.
-
Noz rules.
Even if the snow wasn't perfect, last weekend was cool.
Wasn't able to "hook up" with Ocean either. Heard he's pig ugly anyway

I hate moguls myself and avoid wherever possible. Are they actually FUN for some people? Sheesh!
