  1. I thought it was a `red bull` db, ya know, with wings.

     

    I ride goofy and my mate regular. Last time we were out we swapped boards. Now I`m relatively good fakie, having forced myself to do it from the start, but when it came to walking to the lift..... shhess, we were falling about all over the place like drunken monkeys, and not impressing many people on the way.

     

    Practice walking (with board attached) first, is my tip. ;\)

  2. My guess TeleSkier is that O11 had his tongue well inside his rosy cheek.

     

    My theory is that it`s the trend for more and more recklessness and risk taking on the slopes that are driving the increase, be it for adrenaline rushes or showing off. People are constantly trying to push themselves and their sport to be more extreme, skiers and boarders alike. Both sets of people are to blame, both should take responsibility.

    I`ve been hit by boarders and skiers alike (waiting in a line on each occaision) , but can be proud to say that I have never hit anybody (unlikely as that seems), so it is possible.

    As Mum used to say, `There`s a time and a place for everything` and getting this right seems to me, to be the key. :p

  3. Big-will, to answer your question. Yes. All swans are owned by her majesty, and proctected as thus. Don`t think it actuallly amounts to much in real life though cos all the stupid fishermen keep posioning them with lead weights, and no-one puts them in stocks for it.

    O11, what about goose? Ex-girlfriends family always had goose, which I was really looking forward to trying, until the year I went they decided on a change and had turkey. Bummed. \:\(

    Do people have stuffing with goose?

  4. Can you speak japanese? I don`t really, so have to rely on friends or lots of sign language.

    There are only phone numbers as contact on the brochure. It looks like this tour is run by Alpico group whoever they are, and offered through Tokyu Corp travel agents. I just picked up a brochure at Yokohama station. It says `Power up` ski and snowboard on the cover. Looking at your dates though, you have a long time to explore, so maybe a tour isn`t ideal for you.

     

    However here are the numbers, but I`m afraid I can`t say which one is for which stations travel agent but these are for Tokyo because they start with 03

    03 (3409) 0942

    03 (3724) 0841

    03 (3708) 1551

     

    good luck \:\)
