Hakuba Iwatake...No J-pop the time i went... just some unknown old country tunes playing... a lot like the one they play on western cowboy flicks... Was definitely very annoying... Makes me wanna draw and shoot someone!... Me and my buddies kinda guess, that they wanted to warm up the freezing slopers with some gool ol' desert tunes... yiiiihaaaaa!!!

Pricy if you go by car i guess. Not so if you go with the 1 day bus plan (6000/7000yen, bus+gondola+lifts). and its only an hour a half from Osaka. So i ride more on the slopes then on the bus. Just dont go on a weekend. Packed as hell... Yup, they do... pretty nice too, a park run... they have like 2 jumps, a rail and 3 boxes i think... various difficulties... Only opens when the weather is good though... -

Under your jacket
ghostjga replied to HoTRoD's topic in Snow talk, trip reports, Japan avalanche & backcountry
Creek boy, nothing worse then flaky itchy skin at the end of the day.... Just to jump back on the topic... cheap uniqlo all the way.. just a short shirt sleeve and a long one on top... nothing worst then sweating yourself a 0 degrees and freezing later (besides flaky itchy skin of course)... -
Besides the 1-2 anual trips to Nagano, i skip school and run over to Biwako (when ever i can!)if the weather is bright and sunny with minimal wind.... I usually manage 6-10 trips there in season... I know the snow and runs there are kinda bad, but its close, cheap, and the facilities and staff are great... Wondering if there are any regulars here as well?

ghostjga replied to ghostjga's topic in Snow talk, trip reports, Japan avalanche & backcountry
Thanks that would be very appreciated!... I hate to have to purchase a new pair and moulding them would definitely do the trick!... Knowing that its in ICI somewhere in shinsaibashi is the best news i've heard so far... big thanks!... I'll search for it on the web or something... -

The hardcore set
ghostjga replied to tastyfish's topic in Snow talk, trip reports, Japan avalanche & backcountry
If the run is too scary... Just ride it out and soften the blow by jumping in to the biggest pile of snow at the bottom... OR When I started to snowboard... I kinda like assed it (slided on my ass) all the way down when the the run was too steep... (~_^) not sure whether it works on skis though... -
Nope... I tend not to create emotional bonds with things that may end up wrecked or auctioned in the net...

I got mine done in Malaysia... Don't think they having it displayed openly in shops, since 'mod'ding your PS2 will allow the systems to run pirated games as well. Also, since you gotta pry your PS2 open to mod it, it voids the warranty. Try the internet, that's your best bet I guess.

Re-waterproofing wear?
ghostjga replied to Mudguts's topic in Snow talk, trip reports, Japan avalanche & backcountry
Its doesnt last long... But if your still going for it, make sure to do it before you get on the slopes... coz, it sticks better on dry fabric... and its too windy up in the mountains to do any spraying... Careful though, the stuff is toxic and should not be inhaled... if you plan to live up to a healthy 80 () -
The boxs looks pretty light... heard the graphics are norm without a HDTV...
