Its more about runs and snow for me, but of course if it is big too then that is perfect!

Togari is ok but nothing special. Nozawa is much the better choice.

Ever since I was about 10, but I don't tell how long that is!

What do you think of tv shopping here in Japan? It's loud and false with many "eeeeeeeeehhhh" from audience that sounds really terrible? I hate it, wondering about foreighner view of it.

Good to hear people without the stress. I wish my life was completely stressful- free, that would be good.

Mr Cheeseman is surely an interesting character. I am just surprised so many of you write so much on here, every time I come there are many hundreds of new postings. Too many!! I can't imagine you post for 2 peoples worths!

deebee, my advice is you start off skiing. Get good at that then try snowboarding. It's the best way, you'll end up being good at both.

How do you see the marketing mix for the resorts here in Japan then Ocean11? I'm interested to hear what you think of it. AsterG? Curious name! Too many sweaty sports?

There are many small place in Japanese hills, but I don't know about this word naff? Maybe, but they are small and do their best!

Maybe nearly 50 resorts. When I think, it's a lot of money

Hopefully the first half/middle of DEcember. It will depend on the snow of course!

Rice, miso soup, traditional Japanese things. It's best for me.

Whistler wins hands down

You shouldnt for normal, it is usually not meant for bad meaning. IT can be sometimes, but usually not that intention.

Has anyone here ever driven big grooming machine at ski resort. It's really fun. I have friends at Appi, they might be able to give you a go if you want. Eiji

Very good! honestly I used to be an instructor.

they explain why?

Hi I'm Eiji. Good to meet you. Well, not meet but you know what I'm meaning I'm surprised so many foreigner on here, it's really interesting for me.

I say Hokkaido, maybe because I'm from there and go back quite often in winter. But there are many good ski place in other prefecture.

I'm Japanese and live in Tokyo. Originally from Hokkaido.
