  1. woo hoo, hakuba highland had 147 people thru the gates in april. imagine if all those people lined up at the same time for the same lift on the same day... that would be really frustrating
  2. here is the page of yonex protection , and dainese offer some more hardcore gear
  3. i think u can see a bit off breast puffing up too, after china's recent jaunt. gotta show 'em who really has the goods. there r better ways to spend trillions
  4. my GF eats it now too, proof she is ready for the move to oz!
  5. its a pretty standard situation, we've all been there. the toast is browning nicely, the water is approaching the boil, the cup is ready teabag in place, and u delidify the butter and the vegemite. the toaster then kindly ejects its contents which u lube up with some butter to make the vegemite nice and easy to spread - when the panick lands... WTF happened to the last of the vegemite!?! then the bastardly ritual of scraping every last bit out of the jar to give a smidge of pleasure to the morning routine. grrrrrrr. well, i have a solution that will end those nasty starts to the day.
  6. i follow weather on 3 different sites...they don't all agree, and they change on a half daily basis. try yahoo weather ski the forecasts change prompty, the depths much slower, and there isn't any info on quantity. the yahoo town forecasts, tho, give 3 hourly details on precipitation for the coming 24 hours. the yahoo snowmen don't mess around changin their hats
  7. judge jules, hey? i saw him play before he became a big time radio 1 man, in a club with about 100 people. so that is old times!? hmmm, my feet are cold, i think i need to start wearing slippers.
  8. i hears ya. my local before sold 'em happy chicken eggs, and i bought 'em. but now the GF does all the shopping (cos i, um, do all the forum work) and none out of our 3 nearest supermarkets sell free range. i refused to believe this when i was first told, but alas it is true. and the extra effort to find the free rangers is not offered.
  9. i love ice cream in winter, cos its, um, lets see...because it shows my dominance over the environment. yeh, that's right! y'know, like a smoker shows his control over fire by breathing in smoke, i emphasise my homeothermic perfection by eating frozen dairy products while it snows.
  10. nozawa, dyna, and takasu are also using them. so together with 47/goryu and niseko, thats everywhere i go is using them!
  11. i tried the f22's on in the shop and they felt great! like no other boot. and u r right, the salomon site sucks. i would definitely buy them. they were just a bit 'spensive for me at the time. i ended up with 22000yen salomons on sale from himaraya. maybe the same as dave as snapper!?
  12. i'm pretty sure those robots inside the ETC machines check mine every single time!
  13. me, so far, 7. should be 9 after this weekend, but now in doubt.
  14. a friend of mine entered a roadhouse in the north of WA where some midnight oil was playing. as she paid for her fuel some bloke talking to the shop guy said, "what is about midnight oil? all they sing about is abos and mining" to which my friend replied, "nah, they sing about rednecks, too"
  15. my partner looks like cancelling on me, so i'm alone, but busting to go somewhere this weekend. got a car with a spare seat, and accom booked in takasu for sun nite. open to suggestions.
  16. according to the red site $70 is RRP the skycap is what i use to camouflage my beauty too. i am riding my first decent board this season and either i'm getting much better or the board rocks.
  17. my K2 board has a 4000 GCX base!! supposedly its a ceramic wax free base. whether this means it doesn't ever need waxing is something i'm not sure of.
  18. here is your expressway info . blue and red and black are the colours to watch out for.
  19. just off the coast in Mie - felt around wakayama, shiga, mie, aichi, and gifu areas.
  20. i briefly looked at some SACD players. almost bought one on super special, but it didnt play CD-R consistently. some it did, some it didnt, so i never bought it. thank goodness
  21. does this include gifts for yourself?? whenever i buy new snow gear my excuse is - its for christmas. then i have to buffer that purchase with something for the lady with the same excuse. this includes snow holidays, in fact everything bought or paid for in december is for christmas. so i'm a big spender. on christmas day, however, i'll get and give nothing.
  22. saw two runaway boards on sunday. that is some scary shit. scarier was the inaction of people on the slopes. the second board i saw must have slid passed 10 people by the time i (seated) noticed it. so i shouted 'abunai' loudly and repeatededly as slid passed another group standing below. it then hit a bank and slowed to an almost stop about 100m away, but no one helped to retrieve it despite numerous people being close by. it then continued its bust for freedom and slammed into the snowboard of a resting boarder, who hadn't even noticed it approaching. fortunately thi
  23. dyna for me. lots of snow in takasu, powder aplenty, and smiles abounded.
