[what's everybody listening to now?]

I wouldn't mind.

 

Mrs Biggins likes Dido and I've got to admit I quite like her albums, especially the first one.

Can it be true?

Get to Japan!

Thanks sava, I read most of it over a period of a few days, yes. I was looking for the answer to Jeannies post

 

Nice to meet you too!

[Gnarly runs - the alternatives]

Thanks. Nothing fixed up yet but those are the 2 most likely it seems.

 

More research needed

[SNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWW!!!!!]

I was just looking at that photo gallery on here with all the mad snow you got this time last year. That sure was one heck of a dump!

Looks like a cracking book that. Nice life Jimmy!

Hi folks, good to see such an active Japan community going on. I'm hoping to join you soon

 

Anyways I have been reading this forum and the site for a while now and learnt a heck of a lot. Seems to me Japan is a really excellent place for skiing and snowboarding.

 

And so to my question. I get the impression that the resorts in Nagano and Niigata are all much closer to each other than the ones to the north (thanks for that new map section!)

 

Seems that living somewhere in the Nagano/Gunma/Niigata area might give you much more opportunity than living in Yamagata/Aomori/Iwate.

 

Is that right? Not sure if the snow isn't better to the north though.

 

(I ask because I have the chance to move to Japan to one of those two regions next year and silly as it may seem I'd love to be in a place that is great for skiing!)

 

I like a challenge, but I also like great snow conditions. Not interested that much in parks. I'd class myself as an (upper?) intermediate skier.

 

Thank you and happy new year!

[In Japan?]

Very far away from Japan. In sunny England. Portsmouth actually.

[Snow in Japan]

You know how long it took me to get through this mammoth thread.

 

I'm not sure if Jeannie got her answer...

 

 

Nice to meet you all

British skier. Better than Eddie the Eagle, even.
