does that comment about judged sports should not be at the olympics include moguls and half pipe. by the way i thought the american girls got ripped off in the pipe.I thought they were 1st to 4th

excellent.Whenever i have been able to get to the mountains the snow has been joyous.

Are any of your friends beginners too? I would say wherever your friends are going because i think its more fun with your mates.If your friends are all going to ditch you then head elsewhere.

nice pics sorry i'll retype that AWESOME PICS

Someone mentioned to me that you can do a short OB talk at Cortina(not to be confused with backcountry/avi coarse).Is this true/does anyone have more info?

that is a scary clip.no wonder he was saying get me the f$#k out of here.

nice pics bushpig

Watching the news the other night they said the cold weather was due to an unusal cold depression over the whole korea japan siberia region but they expect it to go back to normal in the new year.

Sorry ,should have mentioned but you can get tickets that let you ski at the resort next to it too.

Gala yuzawa has a bullet train station as part of the resort and about 1.5 hours by train from tokyo.Really easy

your only going to need a bigger powder board if it dumps a shed load.Otherwise you can use the same board as in oz. If you have the access to the 2 boards i would bring both but make sure your not going to be paying excess luggage charges

You can buy magazines that go step by step through different tricks They show correct and incorrect body positions etc.The only prob though is that i have only ever seen them in japanese. Im not sure of your j ability but have a look.

If you can afford it go the lessons It is easier for the instructor to spot what you are doing wrong than to correct and fix yourself.

there are a few different types of mackeral also

At odaiba the`ve got a mini statue of liberty.

yuzawa is coming back strong though.

I found that if you get to the airport and check in early they tend to overlook the weight thing. Also some airlines have sporting goods free.You just have to shop around.

like a camel back for your gut.

did you type that whole thing in ?

If you go to the JR offices at the moment they have cheap shinkansen/kagura tickets.Someone mentioned it the other day i think till the 15th of december it is only \7700.

120cms is nice it does say its wet and heavy though at all parts of the mountain

I`m not sure how much money you make at a resort in japan but the ticket prices are a lot cheaper than Oz newcomic Have a great time

japanese say keitai for mobile phone

I once bought a girlfriend one of those swarofski crystals.You know the ones shaped like animals and stuff. They are also cool cause they range in price from cheap to friggin expensive.Suits all people(tight arses or loaded)

Thanks Wizz The photos look nice too,snow can be deceptive though. In Oz the resorts give overly generous resort reports to get you there.When you arrive the conditions are crap but you still end up buying a ticket.
