How many times then?
excited replied to excited's topic in Snow talk, trip reports, Japan avalanche & backcountry
Nozawa was good, enjoyed it didn't bother me that the lower slopes were a bit thin. There are some really nice long slopes at that resort. I am going to see what Hakuba is like this weekend. -
It seems amongst my colleagues (mostly Japanese) that quite a few people have not been out as much as they would have wanted this season due to the late start and less than great conditions etc. Wondering how many days guys and gals on here might have been this season. As much as you wanted. My first time this weekend maybe in Nozawa.

Madonna tour? 160 quid a ticket?
excited replied to brit-gob's topic in General off-topic discussions
Quote: £1.2m worth of Swarovski crystals are embedded in the huge disco ball. Quote: The Michael Schmidt belt Madonna wears weighs ten pounds and has 4,000 Swarovski crystals in it. That kind of thing is why it costs so much for the tickets. Sounds stupid to me - I'd put fake ones in and just make a healthier profit! Who's gonna know if they are real or not anyway. -

Have a good read norwegian, it's what I did. You can't expect people to write the same over and over again for every newby Try this: http://www.snowjapanforums.com/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/1/6016.html and as rach said some of those links at the top and everything.

I'm sad that the boots are being put away But we can make up for it a bit with less material -
I'm interested to know how long it takes for people who are just starting to be able to progress into "powder skiing" as I've seen mentioned a few times. How long does it take and how do you make the gradual (sudden?) switch? Sorry if these are dumb sounding questions.. A friend sent me this read which I found interesting. Agree? --------- Powder is fresh Snow that is both dry and light. For most skiers, Skiing in Powder is the ultimate experience on the slopes.

That surprises me actually Rag-Doll - I would have guessed that boarding was easier to take up than skiing. Skiing always looks more difficult because of the 2 planks and those sticks, while boarding looks like that one where you just "stand up". Obviously I don't know as I've never tried..... -
Can't they do something with cool "lasers" that doesn't make much noise.
