Nisoko

For sure. Get well soon.

Great find! Now, anyone live close enough to take regular pics?

Well put Mike. So how is the skiing in Bavaria then?

Sweet.

Just to back up what Mamabear said which seemed very reasonable.

I look at those mogulers and think No thank! amazing as they most surely are What kind of skis do they use?

"Don't appreciate Niseko enough? Prime yourself up and improve those skills with the icy conditions of Hakuba before coming up to effortlessly glide the best pow in the world*!" [* whilst having fun too!]

Phone box vid That snow is a fair bit lower than it was, can it get back up to anything like? On past seasons?

Rowdy stuff? I'm never really out late night there so I have seen close to none. Just lots of people havings za good taimzu. At least it is lively, I have heard stories of people in othr popular ski resorts having to search for a place that is actually open and the lights on, never mind a fun and lively time!

Makes you wonder what the best age is to start. Average age started by Olympic winners. Graph please!

Catfights! You're right though GN, without any doubt at all, the snow up here in Hokkaido is fab! Reliable too!

I think we should just agree that Niseko wins.

You are... time wise

I dislike the way some people bark out orders. Just a small portion of manners doesn't cost much.

Is that speeded up?!

It's a sport/ceremony. And gaijin can't understand - as one of the commentators on an early morning show just pointed out.

We will make sure he is a good boy. And if he isn't, post photos!

Get a SJ sticker on ya!

Sorry I did put a smiley. I was simply suggesting that Niseko is a very large money-making machine and you might find it difficult to find much that is 'free' when lots of people are willing to pay for it. That's all.

I'm pretty sure I said something like this Quote: Don't know any surfing dudes either, though perhaps that is the point. Comments and opinions will be based on the company you keep. Yes, I said exactly that.

Very cryptic Jynxx, what do you really want to say there?

Oh no, no the "too much snow" excuse.
