[Moving to Gifu!]

Gifu is lovely area.

 

I have friend who lives near Shirakawago, I really like visiting her!

[Goodbye Yuzawa office]

Hello.

Congratulations on the move.

Where about in Minamiuonuma are you now?

[Juggling act including Minakami, Yuzawa, Nozawa, Myoko)]

How will you be traveling JQuigley?

[Hunter Mountain - a good day trip from Tokyo?]

I used to work there for a short time.

I like it.

And yes weekends can be very busy.

[Zao out of winter season]

It is relatively cool.

I like that region very much. Beautiful.

[Earthquake/tsunami in Tohoku, North East Japan (11th March 2011)]

It's so terrible.

Some of my friend also in Sendai are cannot contact.

[Jan 6 - 27 a video diary of Niseko]

Sugoi, sand.

[Emergency telephone watch 10/11 (Yuzawa)]

I like it!

[Poll: How many ski resorts in Japan have you been to...]

Maybe about 25

[10/11 Site Updates: General info & discussion]

New website looks really great.

 

[Strangest Japanese resort name]

Ca et La Ski Resort Oze is one I don't think I understand!

 

Never been either, but would like to explore that area more.

[Winghills Shirotori in Gifu]

I spent a month there once, it was a good place. Good staff.

Snow was so-so when I was there but I heard it was worse than usual when went.

[Where did you experience the best snow in Japan?]

I think the best I had one day at Geto Kogen in Tohoku.

it was such a great day.

But so many times excellent condition.

Japan has such good snow condition.

[32 degrees in Tokyo - first snow in Hokkaido!]

Snow! yay!

[So, what's your 2010/2011 Japan ski plans then?]

I am trying to find work for this season now.

 

Maybe somewhere in Yamagata or Iwate. Or Nagano!

 

Still look and deciding.

[What do you look for in your accomodation?]

I agree many thing you said there.

I really do not like fixed showerhead and don't understand the reason for that!

Also shower curtain around bath..... not good idea!!

If I have shower I like space to move and able to splash all everywhere.

 

Also toilet not next to basin please! It is also bad idea I think.

[Bathing habits]

I love having bath. If I can't have bath, I will enjoy shower.

I would never get into bed after a day without having clean. I love feeling of clean when going bed. Maybe it is also Japanese tradition to have bath in evening before sleeping especially in winter to warm up. That is how I was brought up anyway.

[Skiing at Koumi Rex, Nagano!]

My friend lives really close to there, I went in February. It was fun, but so few people! I know too busy is not good, but too few people also is strange feeling.

BATHROOM! I need a good bathroom.

[Resorts having trouble working out how to succeed...]

7-10 fold meaning 700%?

[Snow to village (Niseko) - in absentia 09/10]

Wonderful!

[Sapporo Snow Festival Feb2010]

I will be there. One of my best friend is now living in Sapporo so I hope to visit and enjoy Hokkaido for a few weeks.

[Emergency telephone watch 09/10 (Yuzawa)]

Ha it's like a tradition on this website!

[Lifts moving at Ishiuchi Maruyama! (Only rice allowed!)]

I saw it too. Too funny! Can I get the rice somewhere?
