Would help to nudge back a bit more in our favour

For me, anything under a week including the transport is just too short. (Aus)

You will be happy to know Go Native that I know one or two people are thinking just that way. Though they aren't booking yet.

SF is excellent. Next up RE5.

Very interesting thread.

Amazing photos. Thank you.

Yes it's on my list as well. Looks like a great day out from the snow.

Friend of mine got quite ill as well a while back. That along with us suddenly getting much poorer made us cancel our trip.

Quote: another annoying thing is when people decide to stop for a break or picnic in the middle of the slope! And when they do it SUDDENLY. The thing annoys me most is people sitting down on the snow just off the lift making it almost impossible to get past. Drives me nuts.

We cancelled our trip. Friend got ill, aussie currency got ill, we got poor. Almost pleased personally that the snow has generally been not good (though obviously sorry for those who went with bad timing snow wise) Hopefully things'll turn around for next season.

Hi folks A friend of mine is going to be living in Akita city from the summer. I'm thinking it might be good to check that area out and visit him next winter. Anyone on here in that area? Seems it gets snow but there aren't major resorts up there.

Super-sized vehicles have been introduced and new air ambulances will be remodelled to carry heavier people. Studies estimate that 67% of Australian men and over half of all women aged over 25 are overweight or obese.

Have a good time, those monkeys are excellent. If you can get there when it's snowing a bit all the better. Don't forget your camera as well

The times I have rented, no. You can probably get them though for extra.

I would lock mine up wherever I am, for peace of mind.

My mistake!

A few months before the season is when I start getting myself fit after lazing around for a bit at the end of a season. Like most things if there's a goal...

Japan powder doesn't really compare with Australian powder. One if much better than the other. Guess which?
