daver it seems would be angry at the resort whatever - whatever you say the resort is most definitely wrong. -
Akakura vs Suginohara
SKI replied to veronica's topic in Snow talk, trip reports, Japan avalanche & backcountry
I really don't know why you would tell a porky. Perhaps because it sounds like an interesting & controversial subject. I'm almost certain that there will be another side to this story that is different to yours. -

Sounds like a porky to me that. Why would they do that? -
First up, I'd buy my parents a new house. Get myself some property. Buy myself a few things that I wanted. Invest/save the vast majority of it.

Quote: have you been off-piste there SKI? Once, with the ski patrol. I was invited by a friend of a friend they were doing some work out there. It was very interesting. There's actually a lot of great runs on the actual resort at Okushiga/Yakebitai and not that many ropes around actually. -

Okushiga / Yakebitaiyama is definitely better than Yokoteyama in my opinion. -

Quote: Seeing a snowboarder duck a rope and heading into illegal powder Oh how so witty. When I saw Ocean11 post here, if I'd have thought anything it would probably be that the post would either some smart 'witty' comment or a miserable moan about something. -

No it's not the food. They were talking on the news today that the reason the Japanese athletes have not done well is because foreigners are taller. So now you know. -
Official parties - why are they so short?
SKI replied to griller's topic in General off-topic discussions
Yes, haha. The ones you enjoy are short with lots of speeches, the ones you don't want are longer. It always seems to happen like that. -

Out of bound issues at Arai
SKI replied to Blair's topic in Snow talk, trip reports, Japan avalanche & backcountry
Pictures and discussing the terrain is just not the point. The point is that they have their rules and you are seem keen on checking it out with the intent to basically break those rules. Quote: What else is the problem? I don't know. I don't know what goes on at the resort. It seems fairly obvious that this problem is causing them some grief though. Perhaps they might decide to become more strict with their conditional zones. They might become stricter in general. Perhaps they might decide to stop being as open to foreign guests as they now are. (Perhaps that might even en -

Would it also be worth causing further problems at the resort and other further consequences....? Sorry, but you are just totally irresponsible. -

That was a lot of fun to watch, I admit. The downhill was of course too. -

Maiko, Ishiuchi. Good weekend, really good snow, good timing. -

SKI replied to Hokkaidough's topic in Snow talk, trip reports, Japan avalanche & backcountry
I think quite true..... however, the region gets really top notch snow a lot of the time, often excellent quality that would for example put places in Yuzawa to shame. -
