gnarly-dude

A bit on the Japanese news about Australians in Niseko. Sounds like highly original programming, that!

OK just logged in and uploaded a photo. Works fill. Promise to do more and write some reviews this season.

Bloody ace. Can't wait to get out myself. End of next week all being well.

Damn, I thought you were going to be posting a pic of me!

Gnarly

I want a go on it. Can't believe it's late Feb before it drops in Japan. The thing is probably made in Japan too. Make it, ship it overseas.

Does he like the ladies?

But I thought the Shinkansen, Mt Fuji and Kyoto Golden Temple were all in Hokkaido?! And in Hakuba at the same time. Snow monkeys and Matsumoto Castle too! According to a few websites I have seen. It's all very confusing!

Smelly.

Mad rush to change tyres!

Yes lots. If you get to an exit, I'm sure you'll easy find some.

Well, no, it's good for a lot of things. Just because you don't use it for them (or don't know about them), don't mean it's useless.

I wish I could just spend time trying to do creative stuff like that.

Bottomless!

Any particular kind of coat, Tubby? Does it need to be a proper raincoat? Fabrics, etc?

Looking for a gnarly day or two at Tenjin. And hopefully some further gnarliness at Kagura. With a dollop of gnarly turns in the snow at Nozawa.

I could do with a plate of chips now.

Well written Tubby.

Yes they are. Never seen anyone actually skiing past the ropes though. It's a viewing thing for those places by the looks.

Less children is a good thing. (I really dislike children).
