as do i. the fact that it leads you to believe thats its snow by having a layer on top is enough to make me hate it.

i couldve really done with a screwdriver/tool when my left binding was loosened mid course at hakuba on tuesday.

hot pita bread pizza is a real treat after being on the slopes for the day.

went for the first time on monday - wednesday, hit hakuba 47/goryu. it had been a year since i had gone for a slide so it was nice to get back into the scheme of things. i think ive messed up my knee. probably wont go again until the end of january.

Quote: Originally posted by NoFakie: Shinjuku bus station is on the west side of the station. It's signposted, but that area is quite confusing so I won't try to explain. Head for the west exit then ask an information desk person. The name in Japanese for the bus terminal is "ko-soku basu (bus) ta-minaru (terminal)". The timetable is available on this Japanese website http://www.highwaybus.com It doesn't say so clearly, but it seems like the timetable changes this week from two a day to six a day. Until 12/19 only 08:00 and 17:00 On/From(??) 12/20 08:00 09:00 15:30

i think i may have mentioned this way back, and got no replies. so does anyone know anything (timetables etc) about the day bus that goes from shinjuku bus terminal to happo? i assume shinjuku bus terminal is within walking distance from the station? thanks in advance

hey, thanks! im going there in about an hour.

ive just arrived in tokyo (damn cold at 7am this morning 1.6 degrees or somthing) and im thinking about going out to kanda to pick up some outer gear. anyone been recently and seen any places with sales/decently priced gear? will be hitting hakuba on monday. im stoked.

Quote: Originally posted by deebee: about y37000 for the pro FR C model (teh really stiff number with the carbon highback). crap.

what is the going price for a pair of flow bindings in japan?

real xmas trees are damn expensive here. anyone know where u can gte a decently priced REAL christmas tree?

jonas emery is also going to be there.

im going to hakuba on the 16th of dec for 4 days. really looking forward to it. if its any good i will return in january/feb.

Quote: Originally posted by deebee: wheels??!! The type I tried was like a low riding bike with a long padded seat. You could turn the handle bars. It had fun ski for each wheel. My old man wouldn't buy me a lift ticket, I had to push it back up the hill. I ditched it for my green garbo bag after a few runs. thats like a tabogan type thing (tryed that too) the thing im talking about is a huge ass bike. im convinced these things should be illegal.

Quote: Originally posted by deebee: was that the type with or without the seat? There is a place in switzerland that is the home to the ski bike (with seat). They are seldom/never seen elsewhere. I tried one of them also in switzerland when I was very very young The other type of bike is like a broken snowboard with no seat - more like a scooter. no it had a seat and huge wheels and it was really heavy and i went up one of those lifts with the damn thing. i saw my whole life flash before my eyes. never. again.

Quote: Originally posted by deebee: One thing I wont be touching is one of those snow bikes. i did that in switzerland. what a horrible horrible piece of equiptment. i went at night when it was sorta icey and i could not stop on the damn thing. it just skidded down the hill at high speeds.

steve irwin what a joke

ive been learning chinese (mandarin) for the past 4 years. im starting to get ok at it too.

sony mds are the spawn of satan.

is there one? how much does it cost? where do i catch it? once in nagano how do i get to hakuba (without paying extortionate prices for a taxi *ahem*) thanks in advance
