Nisoko

For the purposes of trying to make his point, it works.

You'd think that the snow would completely cover the river and make it a non-river for 7 months of the year.

Not many people know about that chairlift. I'm a bit miffed at Mitch for revealing it actually.

But be careful, it's berry berry steep!

Todays update has more on it I see.....

You guys been to Hokkaido yet?

People rip me off left right and center. I particularly dislike paying my bloody taxes and insurance. WTF is that all about? Hate paying for food and drink too and ski lift tickets too. It's a scam, should all be free.

Perhaps it came across as you asking her if she was effectively a prostitute?

Quote: Show me anywhere on any site by any company here that claims there is always great skiing by early December. Niseko is a very different case to resorts on Honshu. Perhaps not explicitly, but there is hardly a wary warning of expectations to help people make a decision.

Yes. Sweet.

I'm in, if everyone's buying the drinks!

Any help would be much appreciated Only you can decide, but I would change this weekend to next weekend. For anywhere in Japan.

They do look interesting. Lets seeing more.

There'll be trouble in the streets if there isn't decent snow by then! But there will be.

Started to snow at last!

No snow to report sadly.

er, no... can't say it actually bothers me one way or the other!

tell you what, I'll undercut them... I'll rent you a thick blanket and you can sleep by the side of our building. 1500 yen a night. ok? cash only

2000 a night

What do you mean, Jim..... there's a qwerty keyboard on it....

I wonder how many years some of these "temporarily closed" places have been closed.

if you really looked the list you will see a youth hostel as well as a number of fairly cheap pensions etc. There's a lot of expensive options in niseko, but there's something for peasants too!

I doubt it will have much impact on the season - unless of course it drags on and we get no(t much) snow.

You won't really need to worry about ice in niseko anyway, worst-skier. It isn't Hakuba or another icy-prone resort in Honshu.
