woywoy

Oh, db... you can get NORMAL Colgate toothpaste in tokes! Its just a bit hard to find. The normal minty flavour we have here. Maybe those international type supermarkets in those posh suburbs like aoyama might have it?! I cant remember though. Decent toothpaste is a necessity though for sure!

Enderzero... sounds like a big move. How did you get a job over there so easy? What do you do for a living? I know we would all like to be professional snow-bums but somehow it doesn't seem to work out. db... surf has been pumping here in sydney over new year. Byron was off its tits for the new year period. 4-6 foot and goin orf! Broken head, kings, ballina breakwall... got back to sydney and it was still going off! Swell finally backed off on about the 5th. Very surfed out now though... still!!! By the way db, I know you are a bloke now... that hakkoda story was good stuff, but what do

Come on... give Stevo a break. He is a decent guy who is the real thing and is even a surfer! Who else could say they have been surfing in the Amazon? The guy is a legend.

Another name for it being the ROCKET!

Sorry Fisherkingnigel I am not from woywoy... I wish I was! No, just kidding. I am from Manly! I just like the name "woywoy" so! Sorry mate. Where are you from mate? And do you indulge in a bit of salami now and again?! Salami, Markie and Echineko... now that is a combination that would turn some heads!

A deli round the corner goes off! I do like carrs water cracker biscuits for CHEESE... but salami has to go in a sandwich or be eaten on its own! An awesome combination is... salami, pesto, jarlsberg cheese, and sundried tomatoes in a toasted sandwich! Tastes sooooo good. Almost like a pizza but different... and very very good!

So Zao is not just one resort? It is an area?

Kamui? Teine? Haven't heard of them... everyone seems to ride at Niseko these days and I havent heard the best reviews of Rusutsu or Kiroro despite the amount of snow they seem to get? Where else is there Bah-humbug? I dont want you to give away any of your secrets or anything but...

Agreed Ocean. A momentary lapse on my part! Three cheers all around!

Sounds more the case of "WHO ISNT" going to be in Niseko this January?! ...

Man, that stuff is tasty... can you get it in Japan???

So Ocean, basically Virgin Atlantic is going to become a rabuho in the sky, is it? The idea of the milehighclub is that it is hard to get in... now if any old tom, dick and harry can get a gig it wont be nearly as impressive to have on your resume, will it?! I am with you with the idea of the futons on the gondolas though! But with those tough metal bottoms maybe a western-style sprung mattress might be a bit easier on the back!?

Bah-humbug... what a waste building such a beautiful sounding gondola if it goes nowhere near high enough? So you reckon the in-bounds powder is not that great? Im just looking for some other alternatives up in Hokkaido...

Seems like it doesnt it Markie... it certainly is popular that Gondola MILEHIGHCLUB!

Anyone been up to Asahidake in the middle of Hokkaido? Heard it is great up there now after they put in a new cable car the season before last. What is it like?

Oh yes Ocean... the wonders of Wakamezake! Who else except the Japanese could come up with a concept like that?! Great stuff.

So how is it up there Frannyo? I have some friends in Sendai so I might come up to Zao next time I am in Sendai... how far is it? Does it get lots of snow and powpow?

Echnieko... the milehighclub is when you have "fun" on a plane with someone. So the GONDOLA milehighclub is the same but on a gondola! Do you get it? I bet that echineko is a member... what do you reckon?

Are your eyes SQUARE yet jaws???

Hmmm, interesting! Echineko... check your personal messages under MY PROFILE!

akibun... how much snow do they have on the ground? And also, check your messages under MY PROFILE!

indosnm... try the chick at the 6C hooded triple! Let me know how it goes!

Sounds awesome taliskier... how long was the hike? Need snowshoes? Must have been busy with hikers....

I wonder what its like out there... someone said thigh deep pow above the midstation so. Sounds awesome if you ask me! Wonder if it will actually be like that though!?

Yeah, come on echineko... give us a nice ECHI pic. That is what everyone is after!!!
