Great find!
Now, anyone live close enough to take regular pics?
-
Well put Mike.
So how is the skiing in Bavaria then?
-
-
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?

I agree with you there.
I would be great if the emphasis was to make it distinct from that kind of plan, as much as an improvement that would be of course. -
"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

And yes, now this behaviour and the incidents that go along with them have moved on to Hakuba as well and are kept under wraps (mostly since it seems one of the car thefts are made it onto this forum).
I feel sorry for the business owners who suffer as a result (local or foreigners) from the bad rep. The foreign influx has brought so much to J ski towns, it is a shame those guys have to put-up with that nasty side-effect.
Side-note: Mamabear, do you need as a mum (and therefore a role model) to get completly hammered in order to have a good time? Your kids are for sure going to think that it is ok to get plastered on a regular basis.
As for DTrain, I am amazed at the self control he is showing when confronting the yobs given his potential to inflict severe harm in retaliation. Sounds like a bona-fide badass, but isn't his presence the clear symptom that there is something wrong going on with this town (not that I wish Dtrain to loose his job)? Sounds like he could easily get another job in haks now anyway...
And yes, once again the minority is giving a bad name to those who behave and are respectful of others. But I have to say, whereas other countries would seem to have maybe 5% of idiots, somehow some country well represented on the Japanese slopes seems to have more like 10-15%....and my oh my, when it comes to knuckle-dragging...Those guys are on a completely different level! oii oii oii indeed....
I am all for super harsh penalties, but not blindly applied. Human beings are naturally selfish, and unless they see consequences to their actions they will keep on behaving the same way (and not just in N).
I am now ready for the wave of schllllllaking from the N crew for daring to make such politically incorrect statements. Bring it on boys!
Not really interesting enough for outrage.
If someone has lived in a place for a long time, they are surely a local. Though whatever, like Go Native says, who gives a fig?

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

Sounds like a bit of excess manpower in the office there. They could get rid of one of you and save the cash.

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.

For sure.
Get well soon.
