I didn't know but my folder says 2436. Actually enjoyed looking back 5 or 6 years. I have definitely put on weight, it has spurred me on to lose it before summer. I needed that jolt.

Went up this week just for a drive and look around. Had some bread. Great place even when I'm not riding the snow.

Do you live near the snow Mamabear?

The snow is fantastic there, and yes, you probably are 'selling it short' especially as you have never been there. I hope Shiga Kogen won't become what Hakuba will/is become/ing. Though I think it is fairly well protected from that.

Quote: DO you think that it's worth the trip given what is still open there Basically, no. But I live fairly close by and have had a decent season and my fill. It really depends how desperate you are. If you are ok with late late spring snow and just a few short runs open, go for it!

Today and Monday and Tuesday next week. Same as most people it seems. No extended week long this year.

Thats just it - if snow condition allow, but only a very few places - some with the help of artificial snow. It is December before most places can properly open.

Nasty indeed.

I can't see Bush not going. Having said that, he's out soon so he might do just what he wants which is who knows what. Quote: The Olympic flame relay in Paris ended in farce today when police cut the event short after protests forced officials to repeatedly extinguish the torch. It was a second day of severe embarrassment for Beijing following similar skirmishes in London yesterday as activists demonstrated against China's recent violent crackdown in Tibet. The Paris stage of the relay ran into trouble immediately after leaving the Eiffel Tower at lunchtime, even though hundr

Where's the school trip to by the way, Mamabear?

Nice out there today.

Hi folks, well I picked a good time to get my last Shiga Kogen time in this season, fresh snow this morning and a bit more over the day. Hopefully a bit more tonight. I was expecting total spring conditions but happily surprised. Not deep of course but a nice cover on top

Not sure actually. Next time I'm there I'll look in some of the bigger places.

Thanks for the report, good to hear the changes.

Quote: The snowboarding one where they race is great! Yeah, love that. I think a ton of people totally new to snowboarding liked it too.

Jungle Fever, enjoyed it some good laughs in there (though it's not a comedy). In some ways like the other Snipes film One Night Stand.

Nozawa a go this weekend. Any chance of 30cm Friday night, nice Mr God? (20 will do).

I'm going to give Nozawa a go this weekend. Any chance of 30cm Friday night, Mr God?

You sure do. It almost looks as though that photo has been photoshopped or is make up for a horror flick.

It's one of the things people back home always comment on - how beautiful and well-packaged things are coming from Japan. And also how ott it is.

I wondered what it was was well. Gives me the impression of 'pretentious' somehow, possibly because I don't exactly know what it is supposed to mean, only associate it with something over-priced and all image.

I have had a go in one of these. It was more fun than scary but hard to imagine feeling that all of a sudden in your own house. I wonder how many of these things they have doing the rounds. Who was running it warhawk?

If people can't ask, how do they get into it? (Innocent sincere question!)

Got some Shiga Kogen ones. Excellent. Thank you so much!

Good one BagOfCrisps. I generally agree with your scores and feel the same way about all the places. All good.
