oblivion

I can't remember music at Zao. Or maybe it was just in places, after all it's a huge area it covers.

A great alternative place to go. We were originally going to go this last weekend, but I'm glad we didn't now. Hopefully sometime in March,

That would be good.

I'm way off.

Very little cash right now, what can I dooo?

Yes, most of the time. Some days I leave it off.

Yeah, it ruins the day for me too - best to leave it till after 5.

The space shuttle Columbia broke up today as it descended over central Texas toward a planned landing at Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Seven crew members were aboard. A Bush administration spokesman said the shuttle's altitude -- over 200,000 feet -- made it "highly unlikely" that the shuttle fell victim to a terrorist act. http://www.cnn.com etc

Welcome back, db. And, cheer up!!

I'd go with Kagura/Mitsumata/Tashiro, Naeba, Kandatsu, Iwappara.

Today - baked beans on toast.

Nightmare.

Count me in. Bummer.

I'm sitting this weekend out too, big bummer now looking at the conditions. Next week.

No, it is tragic.

That sucks.

Only on the way home with smelly socks.

Good to hear - get past the beginning and you'll be smooth riding from there on in.

Oh yeah, there is a pair lift up there (400m?), an a couple of ways to come down, one in the trees and the other wide - lots of out of bounds area where they don't like you going..

That run is ALWAYS closed until 'spring ski' season when they open it up and get the lift moving. When I asked them a couple of years ago, the response I got was "too much snow to open that run/lift". But it does happen each season - won't be open until maybe end of March/April.

Why are you in fear of ENJOYING skiing?? It's fun. Try it.

Mine is to time myself better (ie when I go). Last year I wasn't too good at the old timing, not that I have much control over the weather you understand ;

Improve every season without a doubt, but less each time.

Knees dont cause boarders so many problems
