Moonboots?
tonester replied to Sailor-Boy's topic in Snow talk, trip reports, Japan avalanche & backcountry
moonboots, wellies, runners....matters very little when you're slip sliding everywhere. Especially after a sake or two. Most important thing in Niseko and the like is traction on your soles. The local hypermart in Kutchan sells those wellies with cleats. Cheap and sensible. -

Niseko Vs Furano
tonester replied to tactic's topic in Snow talk, trip reports, Japan avalanche & backcountry
I'm going to both. Never been to Furano so am keen to check it out. I have a feeling that this may be the last year Furano remains relatively "Aussie free". It's had a lot of marketing in the Australian ski print media this year. I want to see it in it's relatively undiscovered form. Also, I'm planning on doing day trips out of Furano so I get to experience some other mountains. Can't wait. -

Fattwins, your "nipple deep" reference was met with some enthusiasm in that other forum -
Ski hire in Niseko
tonester replied to tonester's topic in Snow talk, trip reports, Japan avalanche & backcountry
Quote: Originally posted by snurfer: Hi T, A mate of mine hired some gear from 323 (??). They were pretty good in there and allowed him to change over and use different ski on different days. Thanks for the reply! "323" refers to the shop name or something else?? -
Ski hire in Niseko
tonester posted a topic in Snow talk, trip reports, Japan avalanche & backcountry
I've heard varying reports about the difficulty to hire performance skis in Niseko. In particular powder skis to suit an adult westerner's typical boot size. Can anyone shed some light on this?? Will I have problems hiring skis (between 170 to 176 cm long) to suit a boot shell of 325 mm? -
