I just did a two day trip to Teine and overnighted in Sapporo. I had a car so my board was always in the car. I've seen boardracks at hotels in Asahikawa but didn't see any in Sapporo.

The staff where we stayed were super helpful and didn't seem to be run off their feet, I'm sure they would have come up with something.

When he threatened to take my season pass, international relations became somewhat strained! I was let off with a "next time" warning but not before he'd taken a note of my name. I than ran into a couple who'd had a similar experience with another guy, who said he'd -
I doubt they would really be able to keep that patch to themselves anyway....it is Strawberry Fields after all! I reckon shortly after I came through a hooting and hollering pack of pow pigs would have ended the shoot quick smart. Idiots thinking they can film in Strawberries and have it all to themselves.

I was doing laps today through Strawberry fields at Hanazono , I traversed right along the ridge to my usual stomping ground and came across a group of guys right at the entrance to a lush field of untracked pow when on yells at me "stop, stop you have to go back we are filming a movie here", I tell him that this is everyones snow but they wouldn't let up, they actually wanted me to double back on my own track because "we are saving this powder for the movie!" I was a little peeved and but dropped in and hooked skiers left and left them to themselves. What do you think? Within the resort

Can anyone verify any of this A similar sounding incident happened when my wife went through Mizuno no sawa with the patrol. No punches were thrown but a bit of pushing and shoving when the guy wouldn't give up his pass. Both the poachers got away
