Oh, well, yes, 5 million sounds like crap does it? Living in Matsumoto? We do have high standards.....

Got another 3 months of so to go. Anyone find out what they are gonna do with the building.

Like it when its almost empty. Good snow and interesting runs. Terrible when its busy though - too narrow.

Are tats expensive in Japan? Are there many places to have em done???

How much did that cost you then? I have no idea how much these things are.

NASPA is a posh kinda place and in yuzawa so its easy to get to. Interestingly enough - that's a skier-only (small) mountain as well.

Can that guy keep out of trouble?! And should he be driving with his leg as it is now?

Alredy?! Gosh Isn't Koide the town at the bottom of the Okutadami place that's still open and a bit further up than yuzawa?

Don't complain. Another few weeks and the temps will be shooting up to over 30 - thats the time to start the moaning!

METALLICA METALLICA

Competent boarder learning new tricks. Well, I was before the snow melted. To be continued November.

In Tokyo

I am nearly 30

This is a good resort in Gunma (almost on the border with Nagano I think). Very much towards skiers, but a good ski resort. Nice onsen too. How to get there? Just follow the onsen "smell".
