Do you like traditional Japanese breakfast?
quattro replied to onsen tamago's topic in General off-topic discussions
I don't mind it so much. However my biggest gripe it just will not power me through the day especially if I'm skiing or biking. -
This is a good guide book for Hokkaido. 北海道雪山ガイド―北海道スノーハイキング姉妹編 The ISBN is 9784894533967. The book is in Japanese. It describes the routeand gives a topo and the name of the topos. It also gives a rating by difficulty as well as the time it takes. I do not speak or read Japanese But I can generally decipher enough of the info.

I do hope you mean skis and not snowboard. The concepts are diffrent. Keep yor weight centered. Let the tips float. I would not recomend geting back on weight. -

Moiwa backside and Goshki
quattro replied to mattyana2003's topic in Snow talk, trip reports, Japan avalanche & backcountry
From Moiwa to Goshiki is relatively flat and boring. Just keep working to the right. I would not go this way unless you were looking to take a quick trip to the Onsen. -
cooler is always better when it comes to electronics. A notebook fan works wonders at keeping it run cooler.

Wife uses Baking soda and charcoal logs which she puts directly over her kimchi. It helps!! I like kimchi but some times the smell even with everything is too much.
