Yeah, looks fun! Fubuki, hope to see you in Hakuba this weekend or in Tokyo in March

Oh no, Andy... Was he ok?

EBC and JM, thanks a lot. That's a big help. I tried to find out how heavy those marker bindings are, they are titanium and this is from Marker's website. Quote: TThese binding models are constructed using state-of-the-art innovation and engineering. Designed for skiers who want agressive high performance reliability coupled with lightweight high-quality convenience. The versatility , quality and value in this category is tremendous. I think I saw LINE celebrity somewhere yesterday, can't remember. They were not cheap though. Thanks for the links, I usually check bac

ok, thanks Toque. I'm learning about Marker bindings now. I found K2 PhatLuv with Marker 12.0 Free WB for 59,800yen, good deal. Same ski as FT's wife but different bindings.

Thanks, JM. Are you working at rapie in Hakuba? I called Rapie this evening and the shop guy explained me those differences exactly same way, Gotama and Guns. He also recommended Salomon, easier to ride than Volkl. but but but but... I don't think I feel comfortable with those asymmetrical? graphics... They look like you jumped out of bed for powder early morning and grabbed two different skies by mistake... Gotama didn't have good float? What about K2 Seth? Are they good in powder?

Toque, FT, EBC, other skiers, I need a help... Which to buy?? @Volkl Aura 163 with Marker M900EPS- 73,500yen @K2 Nancy 169 with Marker 12.0 Free WB- 63,000yen or Salomon Scarlet but I don't think I want those asymmetrical graphics... I want Aura with Marker 12.0 Free WB but it'll be more expensive and also heavier... hmm...

Teaching 75minutes a day and you are looking out the windows to the mountains... deja vu? Are you living in Takayama or Canada now? It's cloudy warm day probably rain later here. Boring... demo, I go ski shopping today, that's ok. Are you fully recovered, Toque? Have a good weekend.

MH, are you going to see this tomorrow? A friend of a friend David is there for tomorrow's preliminary which was postponed yesterday and today. He is having fun party with pros tonight again, maybe.

I can't get out of Tokyo this weekend, go to school, wander around Jimbocho to look for cheap fat skis. CB, get a driver's licence, rent a car, share with Davo and SG, head to Hakuba. Hope to see you there soon.

ah, that's this weekend. Some friends are running there. I'm not going but must be interesting watching it on TV. Shinjuku Metro Office -Imperial Palace -Tokyo Tower -Ginza -Tokyo Station -Asakusa -Tsukiji -Waterfront -Finish!! No Shibuya? Must be funny if they run through the Tsukiji Fish Market.

sava, KureMasuka means Could you give me ---? but better to say ItadakeMasuka?(very polite). Fun weekend again. dizzy, Kuma, uploaded some pictures here. http://www.snowjapan.com/e/insider/photo_section.php?userid=slow&category=1 It was nice cooking with FT. He knows how to cook. Let's cook together again, FT!

Nice, you guys had a good day. I was skiing with Fubuki's GF and got a message from dizzy, he said heading to the North face. We were wondering where you guys were skiing. It was really windy and most lifts at the top of Happo stopped around 1pm, we decided to go home and have a nice lunch with Phatluv.

Goldman Sachs? DaVinci Advisors? Morgan Stanley? We won't get any info about Arai until NDA is terminated.

EBC, Burton&Oakley shop is on the cat street. Do you know kiddyland in Harajuku? Cat street is right there. There is Patagonia on the same street. Have fun weekend in Tokyo!

Nozawa onsen is nice, I have been there once for fire festival with FT, Phatluv, CB, Toque, was it two years ago? Community there is very nice, I was much pleased with their warm hospitality.

It was beautiful day and very nice temprature for biking along the coast on Sunday. I have never shared these pictures before, this is my favorite beach I'm always talking about. Too hazy and no Fuji-san, this is not perfect but still beautiful. It's warm winter, 16degrees here today. Has spring come yet??

My friend in Beijing went skiing there, this is his report. Quote: Did go to a couple places here but its VERY small and all man made snow, also very dangerous as there are a lot of collisions. This is how they make man made snow. Snowchina.com

Oh no, Toque's foot is just like an elephant... Take it easy, Toque. I have to catch up with my work today, it's beautiful day here in Tokyo, swimming after work and have an easy ride along the coast in Hayama tomorrow. dizzy, are you going to Hakuba next three days weekend? Bring your acoustic guitar, please.
