ausi ski bum

I would love a white Christmas but will gladly settle for a white New Years this year. Actually its raining heavy here in the Riverina area of NSW and has been on and off for weeks, after five years of Drought its the best Christmas ever for many. I hope you have safe and wonderful Christmas

This thread got me thinking (as I have a hire car for the 20 days I am at Niseko) do you have the wipers up or leave then down in Japan when you park. Also in Australia if you drive with snow on your roof you can get fined for driving with an unsecured load, what is the rule in Japan.

The ultimate concert DVD Kiss Symphony Kiss had a one off concert a few years back with the Melbourne Symphony and it was just amazing, the orchestra had Kiss make up on and it was introduced as Black Tux meats Black leather. I was at the concert which makes it even better.

Looks heavy now on the cams

My wife had very long blond hair and one day when I got home from work she had cut it off, I nearly cried but I got over it.

Remember every DVD player can be reset to play all zones, just do a search for DVD Player Crack Codes on the net and then look for your machine. I have done this and now buy DVD's from all over, many are from the US much cheaper then here is Australia.

Will be there this time in two weeks, looking forward to it a lot now, might get the ski's out and wax them tomorrow

Taxi's are very cheap in Singapore so take a mini bus one and negociate with the driver to do a tour for you, head to the Singapore river area where all the food places are now near the Merchant Court Hotel ( I think it may have had a name change) If you have kids and its day time spend a few hours on Sentosa island, You can taxi over there now as they built a bridge, on Sentosa they built a really big merlion, building works have made it almost imposible to see the original one now except from the water. Closer to the airport is the Singapore zoo which is pretty spectacular

Active Topic is your friend

I notice that Niseko have a 50 hour ticket, how does this work, is it 50 hours from when the ticket is first used, so much per run etc ?

I use AMC76 ski's in Japan and they go well and they are also very good in Australian spring snow so owning a set is not such a bad idea. The wider ski's go well in powder but are not so good on the runs and you will find you will ski much of the time on the runs because inlike here they just go forever. There are a lot of different ideas but look at what you intend doing and then find a ski to suit. Oh and I hate hire ski's nothing like having your own and learning how the feel and preform in various conditions and locations, hiring in Niseko is very expensive but buying ski's in

Niseko now has more snow than when I arrived there on Jan 6 this year so my 28 December arrival is looking excellent.

All mountain pass for sure, my family covers the whole mountain easily over the day including some great powder bowls over Annupiri. If your advanced crossing over the top from resort to resort is very easy. Even if the tops closed there are easy trails across from the base of the higest lifts. Any one of the resorts would get boring after more tha half a day.

Kewl from memory when I arrived on January 6 this year it had been a very slow start and there was a 125cm base, over the following two weeks this was more than doubled. Looking forward to clicking into the ski's just before New year again, come to think of it, it will be my third season in a single year.

Sounds th place to buy property now

I am driving there this year for a few days skiing

It might be warm when they are in there but don't they freeze once they get out ?

Roo meat is nice, it needs to be cooked medium rare or it gets tough, its very low in fat, around 25% of beef so it is very good for you. The reason the roo meat that is used for dog food is not eaten by humans is its to old and tough. The culling is normally the packs of males that form, they tend not to kill the females to preserve the breeding stock. There are more roo's in Australia than people and due to our farming and the additional water reserves we have created there are more roo's today than when white man arrived over 200 years ago. There is however a bif difference be

We have so much coal its hard to justify not using it but some of the older plants really have passed their use by date

Pizza Box Lifts, always make my family laugh, no way could you run those in Australia

Looks like skiing in Australia

We do just over three weeks so we can have days off doing other things like snowmobile tours and visiting the region.
