Well its 18-20, 20 for drinking Relative to what people believe it is, it is quite high. Not to me personally.

I cant even think of anything funny to reply. I am pissed off now because I got a letter from my ISP this morning. I got a warning about using Bittorrent for downloading some game.

If there is an avalanche lets hold hands

So you have never gone up there with out a beacon and shovel?

read this crap on the news http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20070322/lf_afp/afplifestyleussexchastity_070322082138

You need germs to build up your immune system. I can't stand anything that is too clean, its like a hospital and plenty of germs still manage to live in hospitals. I guess that if there are enough normal bacteria, the hardier ones don't have a place to live. But in a clinical environment the worst ones have room to thrive.

Black Eyed Peas: Since getting interested in making music actually I found their beats very complicated and difficult to reproduce. Avril Lavigne Girlfriend etc: I don't know why I get addicted to such crap.

tsondaboy there were a few lifts down, but it was only really the dragondora and 2 connecting lifts. Yep the top was open. It was so easy to walk to the other peaks from there, I wish it was open all season. Oh and I did it without snowshoes.

fukudane its a popular misconseption that there are no laws, actually there are prefectural laws that would be the same as state laws in America, each prefecture has their own age of consent and in Tokyo its quite high. If the police want to charge you they will.

It seems mrjamie has done it http://www.snowjapan.com/e/insider/photo_section.php?userid=mrjamie&userGallery=123 Looks pretty cool

To clarify: I was not complaining about skiers as a whole, it was about the actions of certain groups of skiers. Actually the particular action I have only observed Japanese skiers only do it. It is not the formation of large shaped moguls in powder it is mini iced up runs that groups of about ten people making(I should take a picture) when I was a skiers I didn't like tracks. It just seems that the Japaneses that make them are only interested in perfecting their twists and not actually having fun( though practicing to perfection seems to be fun for a lot of Japanese) But it seems

No worries, there were very few foreigners there yesterday. I saw two at the curry place but they didnt know snowjapan Kagura was pretty hard packed. I was initialy dissapointed but thankfully the top lift was open and I walked to the top 3 times, even the very top of the mountain there was about 20cm of top crust, but was quite fun. If things get worse that was my last trip of the season. Seems nozawa was about the same. I might still go to hakkoda, but I want to see a little more snow fall. I found out I can't board for shit on ice.

I am with Indosnm here, I wouldnt call stick type normal.

Did you get your tickets Sir? If you are up at kagura I will keep a look out at the bottom. I will be wearing a terrible orange hat, and I am 6'2 so I am pretty easy to spot.

I might bring my camera if it is fine. I am wearing a grey jacket and my K2 board has a big red star on it.

Try not to cut your self on the ice merryJim or it will look like a large strawberry slush puppy.

130cm of snow compared to 320 at most of Yuzawa just 30 minutes away. If you are in that area Tenjindaira is much better. The long run is ok for beginners and children I guess, but if I had a child I would not bring it to the ice rink to learn how to ski.

Them times are a changing.

Nope because I had a great time on :ahem: Kagura on the same weekend. Houdaigi is just at the wrong side of the mountains.

I am also not bringing any equipment. Because if the top lift is open that is much of the hike taken care of. Plus I dont have any equipment to bring. haha.

got a mobile phone does that count as a radio? I will throw a fit if it actually rains.

There is not much choice deodorant in Japan. That gadzby crap smells like lemon toilet freshner.

I guess not everybody can the the 6:08 from Tokyo, you should say to the agent that you take JR every week and they will actually find you a place on the train. The told me the 6:08 is reserved for the big packages on Saturday morning. I told them I have shelled out 200000 on JR packages this year not just one big one and I want to go on the 6:08... well I got a seat. I guess if we all make it to the top we can set a second meeting time for the later people, say the curry house at the bottom of tashi at 12:30 ish?

Yes but under different names. Before I used to love the one called africa. But I dont know the equalivant in Japan. The one I bought was called Kilo not my fave though.

Search the forum for Tenjindaira, Hokkaido, Hakkoda (especialy on youtube.com) I am not a travel agency
