Yes, but that wasn't in the rule book was it. Corn not included means corn not included. -
I love Hakuba!
HoTRoD replied to mai's topic in Snow talk, trip reports, Japan avalanche & backcountry
Another point here deebee is that there is snow in some places. But not much in many other popular places. Take a look at the Yuzawa page for more on that - there's no snow there hardly and it's one of the main Tokyo-ite places.....nowhere is open apart from the Kagura place that is packed out with so-so snow and terrible crowds. So----- give it another couple of weeks when there really is lots of snow and everywhere is open, and then you'll be hearing more Well you will from me anyhows. -
Just got my New Year holiday from work sorted out. 4 days in early January, nothing at Christmas. But I asked for the early Jan hols - I belive that after the rush of New Year, early January is quite quiet on the hills.

Naeba midweek
HoTRoD replied to namenya's topic in Snow talk, trip reports, Japan avalanche & backcountry
Risking some "why don't you just go out there NOW" retorts, my Japanese friend went up to Naeba last weekend for some event and said it sucked big time. Hardly any snow, basically just that sucky man-made 500m jobby they have going. And it was also very busy. -
I love Hakuba!
HoTRoD replied to mai's topic in Snow talk, trip reports, Japan avalanche & backcountry
deebee I can see what you mean, from your point of view, but some of us; >> are working and find it very difficult to take time off and impossible to do so at short notice; >> don't have enough money to splash out to go out every weekend, and so must choose out outings carefully; >> are anticipating and looking forward to the few chances that we do have to hit the slopes. -

HoTRoD replied to Gifoo's topic in Snow talk, trip reports, Japan avalanche & backcountry
Moguls are curious things, ain't they? I can't imaging loving them, but thats cool. I like to avoid them myself. -
