[The state of Jpop on the slopes this year]

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!!!

I'm laughing my eyes out...

Thanks CB! Will check it out the next time I head by shinsaibashi. Sorry for the trouble ()...

[Opinions Please]

Putting on my snowboarding boots... hahaha.... such a pain... takes too much time too... wish i could wear em from home...

[Who's a Biwako Valley regular?]

On the way back got me a bus plan pamplet to Hachi Kita... will definitely check it out soon!... Thanks for the info!

 

Seems like there's Hachi Kougen listed here... Are they connected?

[Who's a Biwako Valley regular?]

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...

[Who's a Biwako Valley regular?]

no one?

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)...

[Who's a Biwako Valley regular?]

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?

[Under your jacket]

Lotion?... or did i get the wrong topic?

[32s boots heat moulding?]

Thanks! ()

[32s boots heat moulding?]

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...

[32s boots heat moulding?]

Your a life saver creek boy! () Thanks!

 

I'm definitely gonna try and head down there... ICI in shinsyaibashi eh... any idea on how i can get there? and how much do they charge for one mould?...

[32s boots heat moulding?]

Do any of you guys know where I can get my 32s heatmoulded in Japan? or how to get information regarding the spots that offer the service?

 

Any help would be appreciated.

[Hakuba is being dumped on!]

Going there on the 28th till new year! YEAH! can't wait!...

[The hardcore set]

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...

[Do you]

Nope... I tend not to create emotional bonds with things that may end up wrecked or auctioned in the net...

[playstation 2 chip]

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.

[Christmas Puddings]

What does eggnog look like?... Seen em in sitcoms and such... Is it nice?

[Re-waterproofing wear?]

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 ()

[Xbox 360]

The boxs looks pretty light... heard the graphics are norm without a HDTV...

[Getting excited...]

Yup me too... getting the gear out...

 

Can't wait to try my new tube of NotWax... heard it can do wonders! ()

[How do you guys wash your stuff?]

Apologizes for the typo...

 

Again, Thanks Toque! ()

[Snow in Japan]

Peanut Butter... yummm.....

[How do you guys wash your stuff?]

Thanks for the notice Torque!
