[The New Resort - I'll invest]

How much are the lift tickets gonna be, Rod?

[What's the score with Fifa?]

The stadiums seem to be fuller now, does anyone know of ways to still get tickets at all?

[Australia / NZ season]

Some superb riding to be had down here. I'm going to miss much of it this year to go to the heat in Japan! But definitely worth a look.

[Japan hot in summer and autumn?]

Thanks for the advice, folks big help. Seems like October is the time when it cools down.

[Japan hot in summer and autumn?]

I will be in Japan in late summer, September actually. For a country that seems to get tons of snow, it's hard to believe it can get so hot - but that's what I have heard. What's the deal then, anyone kind enough to let it be known?

[In Japan?]

Not yet.

Will be from September.

Yes!

 

Currently in Singapore.

[Before Japan....]

Never been to Japan, but will be in September. Can't wait. Especially if I can see the bears, giraffes, lions and tigers while I ski. Skied for the last 8 years.

Any tigers, lions of - my faves - giraffes??
