and airlines usually charge excess for skis!

paying for email is ridiculous. 0.

do you mean the white face masks? I got told it was because they are sick, and dont want to share their sickness with the rest of the population?

you have an oven? your oven can fit a turkey in it!?

more importantly, who's going to win nz of course, and ill be there to see it :>

boarding in whiteout and its snowing hard, going home on an unknown resort in nz guy in front: "uhhhhhhhhh look...." me, behind: "what?" *i fall off 5m drop and make a big hole in the fresh at the bottom from top of drop: "i think theres a drop up ahead" me: "yeah thanks i noticed" love those moments bit scary though

chucked mine in the washer yesterday. only reason it got dirty is because i was a pig and spilt food on last season came out as good as new

shrug! it adjusts for the bright light i guess. auto mode probably has a hard time figuring out what its shooting. i just leave it to the electronic wizards at sony, and push the buttons I haven't had the chance to use my new sony dsc-w7 on the snow yet, but can't wait

thanks again. might have to spend a night in otaru, which im sure is nice enough

ah ok. im heading up in nov so that one you posted should be fine. seeing as you are so knowledgeable.. do you know if there are any buses that go from otaru > kutchan? Because the ferry arrives around 8:30-9pm... which means id have to wait about 1.5hrs before catching the last train to kutchan

thanks alot misorano thats excellent! i assume thats a train timetable. at least it shows i most definitely wont have to spend the night at the station in my two season sleeping bag

cheers guys very helpful

hey all. time to bug you again. is bus or train the best bet for the voyage from otaru > niseko? unfortunately car isn't an option. does anyone know where an english timetable is for the buses/trains? (or perhaps an easily decipherable nihongo one ) id hate to get there and find i need to sleep at the station :|

turns out im staying in niseko for a month or 2, this is great news =D

most digital cameras have a "snow" setting which makes it easy.

mmm. right. and id just ollie up there.

from these comments i gather boot fitting is not as important for snowboarding as it is for skiing?

indeed, i dont envy those learning english, nihongo is hard enough.

sounds like its almost worth the ferry ride up there. ah well, bit late now.

http://www.nihongoresources.com has an easier dictionary for native english speakers. I find the alc one a little daunting

an american house party will almost definitely be casual, loud, drinking, etc
