270000 yen? What does that include soubriquet? water and the like?

That is too bad... Didn't you get any decent conditions snowbee?

haha. not sure there would be too much demand for snow here, most people seem to want to see the last of it.

Same here, it's generally been a bit rubbish since then.. spring came too early.

I think if you do a long time day in day out it is good to learn quickly. If you are just doing a day then another day 2 weeks later etc, it takes much longer. A good solid 2 weeks will get you going pretty decent.

Kagura or maybe even Joetsu Kokusai (it's just up the road).

Here's some pics

Yes we can do without those things....

Thats weird, considering so many other places seem to have more than usual.

Thanks. I'm really not sure, I didn't see anything on the rice field at all - it just looked clear. I'll try and take a pic this week.

I was taking a walk near where I live on a country road, there's still about 1-1.5 meters of snow on the rice fields. Except one. Well, half of one. For some reason, there's no snow on about half of one of the rice fields. It looks really strange and I can't work out why just that part has melted. I'll have to take a photo. Any ideas?

It was just on the news something about "Winny" - is it some kind of software?

Quote: Something four-times more expensive than the gift you received Is that right soubriquet? I had never heard that one. It doesn't sound as scary as the engagement (wedding?) ring being 3 months wages

Isn't it "okayu", le spud?

People saying things they don't mean... annoys me.

It's heavy rain and wild winds here this morning.

Saw some "highlights". Well I flicked through the highlights to view my highlights. (Often when some lovely dress walked up to the podium). It lasted all of 15 minutes.

A friend of mine had his bright orange ski books crack open on him at the top of Nozawa. That journey to the bottom looked pretty mad. (He was mad as well, the boots were only a year old!)

Looks like there might be some of that today. I'll let you know

Hurrah! I'm taking a holiday, getting my kit on and going out there on our lovely new fresh snow

They are so funny sometimes hey. I like to confuse them with a slightly off original entry, the results come back even more bizarre.

I'm taking the day off today coz it looks like it will be fine and theres new snow

Pretty strong showing for Happo there.

Pray harder folks... it's not working!

It looks like gala will be closed again today because of winds
