Hey I think I recall someone on here saying they used to work at Kawaba in Gunma. Do I recall correctly?
(And if so, any good working there?)
-
Good poll, keep it near the top!!

I'm out of touch with things overseas, my riding snow career being based mainly in Japan.
Thinking of doing an overseas trip though next season, not sure where.
Anyone give us the heads up on where might be good value or best value, etc.
I suppose if Japan had cheap travel it would be really good value right.

Just like to add to this. It is true that this place has a long long run that is prone to moguls and lots of mogul-bashers head for the place, but boarders can enjoy it too - I've had a few decent days there (usually when the moguls weren't there). Not exclusively a skiers resort at all.

Bad numbers here in Minakami too actually, and while we aren't in Niigata we got shook up a fair bit and some people avoiding our area too it seems.

The stretching routing. Perhaps someone has a fun vid of it. The one I've noticed a few people is just so extreme and goes on for ages, like frannyo said. Even when I used to go jogging, some guys had this extended warm up routine going on that lasted longer than the run itself.
I can hardly see the point. Is there a point?
I'm with you guys, first run of the day is my warm up.

Never known that before. I'd be pretty mad if all of Kagura were closed when I got there..........
-
Never heard of that.
The Fraggles were ace though.
Are they on in Japan somewhere, mogski?
-
Yeah how do these appear in the first place?

Not keen on the U2 one either - but the thing is selling like a very hot hotcake.
My fave

I saw a vid last night that was pretty scary, some German took it I think. More will probably surface...

I got F901iC last week.
Looks good, waiting for my eigo manual.

Not fun at all, my school opens next Monday though so a bit of time left...

Star Wars was brilliant, I wouldn't mind playing that again.
-
As you might expect same story here in northen Gunma. Too warm, too much sun.
-
Wouldn't you be getting the Tohoku Shinkansen to Tokyo Station?
-
Nice one that.
I'll be trying to enjoy winter here in Gunma/Niigata/Fukushima this year though.
If it snows that is.
-
Would that be grass skiing then?
-
Ah yes one of the big advantages of living up in the mountains, or fairly near them anyway.
Unfortunately, I'm not a legend. Blizzards and I stay in or just shovel.

I'm in charge of my meetings. They are very few and very short and very painless for all involved.

I'm in Tokyo that night, I'll try to make it. Sounds like fun.

That sounds well dangerous, I'll have to give it a try.
