Introducing Minakami
snowboarding-sam replied to damian's topic in Snow talk, trip reports, Japan avalanche & backcountry
Will do. It'll probably be January though - I'm off to Yamagata next week for a few days and then busy with finishing off some work until new year. Hopefully by then you'll have plenty of fluffies to play in -
Introducing Minakami

Hey I hit Tenjin and Kawaba quite often as an alternative to Yuzawa which is a bit further for me - it's great to have the new reports coming from that region. -
Maiko + Iwappara
snowboarding-sam replied to muikabochi's topic in Snow talk, trip reports, Japan avalanche & backcountry
I reckon that would be really good, the snow is often good back of Maiko Kogen. -

Is it nearly time for snow again? -
cross training - legs
snowboarding-sam replied to damian's topic in Snow talk, trip reports, Japan avalanche & backcountry
I wish knees had been designed to be a bit better. -
Tomorrow is July
snowboarding-sam replied to sanjo's topic in Snow talk, trip reports, Japan avalanche & backcountry
I'm going to enjoy a holiday with my parents and family and so hoping that particular part goes slow. -
Good movies you've seen recently

Where did you see it Kumapix? I didn't think it was out until August here. I heard lots of good things about it and am really looking forward to it. -
Do gaijin smell? (as an ex-Japan player suggested)
snowboarding-sam replied to 69's topic in General off-topic discussions
Interesting. Now the weather is getting all humid I get a bit smelly quite easy. Funny thing is, even back home when it is hot and humid I don't seem to get the same thing going on. Curious. -
First time in Japan
snowboarding-sam replied to jrkernal's topic in Snow talk, trip reports, Japan avalanche & backcountry
It will be Yakebitai/Okushiga region. Great place. -
Best spam subject line
snowboarding-sam replied to misorano's topic in General off-topic discussions
Yes she is. Alas, it was not really from him. (Though I might ask) -
OK OK. If something was built in the 70s and had never been done up, you would expect it to not be in the best of conditions. That's the feeling I got from the Naeba prince --- that it had not been kept up to date and was not very appealing. I would expect a big chain of hotels to perhaps have a common level of service/facilities in their hotels - whether the hotel was built in 70s or 90s, the 70's one could be refurbished etc. I'm sure a lot of hotels do that.....
